Look, we all know Carole Baskin killed her husband, but we can still support her animal activism, right?
Celebrities are hopping on the Big Cat Safety Act-bandwagon. The bill would end the sale, ownership and breeding of exotic cats.
Glenn Close, Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Jane Lynch, Kim Basinger and Angelica Huston (to name a few) have all signed a petition started by the Animal League Defense Fund. The petition is “in support of the Big Cat Public Safety Act and protection of big cats.”
The “Big Cat Safety Act” first hit the House in 2019. Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Alabama have no regulations for big cat ownership and breeding. If “The Big Cat Public Safety Act” passes, owners of big cats would require a USDA license.
