Joe Exotic controlled Travis Maldonado till he killed himself. I'd say their relationship was one of domestic abuse. Besides that, he just treated his animals horribly, so he's prob an animal abuser as well.
Carole Baskins trotted around with flowers in her hair and called her stream viewers "cool cats and kittens".
Good points. Unless you look into the rumors surrounding Baskins ex-husband. And didn't Maldonado kill himself by playing around w a gun and it being accidental? It was shown on camera.
I'm not defending Joe Exotic, by the way. From the documentaries, all of the private big animal collectors were crazy. and the "Doc" guy, with his harem, just got caught up in a scandal too

Remember that the general public sided with this creep over a woman who rescued big cats from creeps like him
