Carole Baskins Diary

an intern from S. Africa asked if there is any undercover work she could do for free while here. I sent the following:

I've been trying to get someone inside Sue Pearce’s place: http://911animalabuse.com/sue-pearce-animal-adventures/

There is a man, who seems to be sort of related to the place, offers tours to people to come hand feed the cats, but they have to meet him at a place in town first and then he takes them there and back to town. Kind of creepy. He says it is because there is no cell signal at the place in case you get lost, but my guess is that they are trying to control access. At this point he's allowing photos and videos, so we would need to send someone with you to be the "feeders" and you could film them.

I have a couple in mind. He's a big guy who is proficient in marshal arts and she's an activist, but isn't known by her face or name to the bad guys. You could drive down together.

None of the other bad guys will allow photos or videos. Some reporters we are working with got some undercover footage at http://911animalabuse.com/mario-tabruae-zoological-wildlife-foundation-fka-zoological-imports/ last week, but that Mario Tabraue was a convicted felon and if they made him nervous with their questions he may be on high alert for a while.

I'd love to get footage of this guy Vernon Yates: http://911animalabuse.com/wildlife-rescue-and-rehab/ and you can see a corner of his property from the road, but he's physically attacked me twice and never lets people on his property. That's why the photos on my page above are the only ones that exist. He stopped letting the press in a long time ago because of the photos getting out. He only uses family members to keep his alleged practice of bringing home rescued wildlife to feed to his cats. The last outsider who was there told me he rescued a bobcat who was injured and fed it, alive, to the tigers.

Another place I am curious about, and no one has ever gotten a photo, to my knowledge is another Sue; Sue Arnold also in Okeechobee. https://bigcatrescue.org/sue-arnold/ 14895 NW 30th Ter, Okeechobee, FL 34972-0941 Almost every time we ever rescued a jungle cat and a lot of servals, it was from people who bought from Sue Arnold. Her website is down now, and all I could find is a Trip Advisor post to get the address. One person tried for visit, under the auspices of going to ask about volunteering, and she said you could smell the urine from the curb, but Sue wouldn't let her in.

I'll see if I can get the couple to go with you to Sue Pearce's place in Okeechobee if you want. Maybe on the way you could swing by Sue Arnold's to see if you can tell if she's still breeding and selling servals and jungle cats.

Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views. These are my views and opinions. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story. The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/

I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story. My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.

You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!
