The racy video for her open sexual single WAP features the couple dressed in animal prints as leopards and white tigers roam free.
The 59-year-old Tiger King star expressed concern in a statement about the use of big cats in the video, even though they are filmed separately via green screen.

Although the big cats were captured in photos, Carole made sure that the video ‘will illustrate the idea that rich people have tigers as pets.’
“My guess is that most people will not even see the photo booth cats in the scenes because the rest are so lurid,” she said.
‘I was happy to see that it appears that all photoshops are. It did not look like the cats were really in the rooms with the singers. ‘
Despite the safety steps taken to keep the wildlife away from the rappers and dancers, Carole said the shooting process could still be harmful to the big cats.

‘You have to pose a wildcat for a green screen to get that image and that does not happen in the wild. It can not happen in shrines like ours, where cats have a lot of space to avoid a green screen (or it would get polluted if access was granted and could die by eating it), ‘she said.
She suggested that the filmmakers might have been working with ‘one of the big cat vaccines’, which accused them of’ beating, shocking and starving cats to leave them on a cue in front of a green screen. a studio. ‘
“That’s never good for the cat,” she added.

‘After tigers were too old to pay to play sessions by people like Joe Exotic, Bhagavan Antle, [Mark] McCarthy, Mario Tabraue and others, they become a liability instead of an asset, ‘she said, warning that most cats would be secretly killed, although some may be given to private collectors so they’ may have a tiger to look out. ‘
‘That never works out and the cats die or end up in shrines or worse, breeding grounds. However, it is always abused for the cat. ‘

Although Baskin has worked for years to rescue big cats from abusive owners and is the CEO of Big Cat Rescue near Tampa, Florida, her public profile has increased dramatically following the release of Netflix’s buzzy Tiger King documents.
The show followed the rise and fall of Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as Joe Exotic, who ran the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park in Oklahoma, with a number of large cats including a variety of tigers.
Carole was one of Joe’s most vocal critics, claiming he had severely abused his animals.
In 2019, he was convicted by 17 federal prosecutors for multiple instances of animal cruelty and tried to hire an FBI agent to murder Carole.
Joe is currently serving a 22-year sentence in a federal prison sentence, but his one-time nemesis seems to benefit from publicity, even though die-hard fans of the conspiracy theories have spread that she murdered her second husband and fed him have tigers.
Big time: Carole was featured in Netflix’s Tiger King documentary about cat breeder Joe Exotic, who’s in federal prison for trying to hire someone to kill her
