Tiger King star Carole Baskin has asked actor Kate McKinnon not to use live big cats in a TV series based on the popular Netflix documentary.
Big Cat Rescue implores Kate McKinnon to not use real big cats and cubs in the making of her series,” Baskin told Entertainment Weekly.
Her statement added: “We hope McKinnon has a passion for animals and that her series will focus on the horrible lives captive big cats lead when exploited by breeders like Joe Exotic.
“It would be cruel to use real big cats in a television series about cruelty to big cats.”
