'Tiger King' star Carole Baskin called out Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP" video for its use of exotic cats. While acknowledging that the cats were green-screened in, she noted that "you have to pose a wildcat in front of a green screen to get that image and that doesn't happen in the wild"; "It can't happen in sanctuaries like ours where cats have plenty of room to avoid a green screen (or would shred it if offered access and could die from ingesting it). That tells me they probably dealt with one of the big cat pimps, who makes a living from beating, shocking and starving cats to make them stand on cue in front of a green screen in a studio. That's never good for the cat."Carole Baskin shared her opinion of the #WAP music video, saying, "The worst part is that it glamorizes the idea of rich people having tigers as pets" https://t.co/08lCfga7sv

"The worst part is that it glamorizes the idea of rich people having tigers as pets," Baskin explained. "That makes every ignorant follower want to imitate by doing the same. After tigers are too old for pay to play sessions by people like Joe Exotic, Bhagavan Antle, Marc McCarthy, Mario Tabraue and others, they become a liability instead of an asset. While I think most are destroyed behind closed gates at that point, some end up being given away to people who want to have a tiger to show off. That never works out and the cats either die or end up dumped in sanctuaries or, worse yet, breeding mills. Either way, it's always abusive to the cat."
