Carole Baskin is an American animal rights activist and the CEO of Big Cat Rescue, a non-profit animal sanctuary based near Tampa, Florida. Dawn Lewis, the ex-husband of Tiger King actress Baskin, has reportedly been discovered alive and well in Costa Rica. Not the only unexpected twist. Despite the huge success of the show, only a year later it was revealed that Lewis was alive again and was not being fed to tigers as previously claimed. Carole Baskin, the creator of Big Cat Rescue in Florida, gained dubious notoriety after appearing in the “Tiger King” Netflix series.
Since the show’s 2020 premiere, Baskin has been falsely and widely accused of murdering her ex-husband, who disappeared in 1997. Some fans proposed some wacky conspiracy theories about her mysterious missing ex, including an unsupported claim that she was somehow involved in a murder-for-hire scheme.
However, Baskin claims that his ex is fine and living in Central America, which is the greatest story ever. The animal rights activist said in a November 2021 interview that Lewis had been in contact with the US Department of Homeland Security for years and that they were aware of his movements. Despite this fact being revealed last year, it is now going viral on social media.
The Netflix star is now remarrying, having tied the knot with husband Howard Baskin in 2004. Despite Baskin’s claims, a fact-checking site has looked into the issue and as of this writing it is “unproven” that Don is still alive.
