Baskin presents herself as an activist whose mission is to provide a for big cats raised in captivity, but Joe Exotic maintains that she is simply a rival zookeeper whose aim is to eliminate her competition.

His 2016 run for and are documented with the assistance of his campaign manager, Joshua Dial. Producer recounts the rise and fall of 'Joe Exotic TV', a sort of that Kirkham was hoping to develop into a TV series until his footage is mysteriously destroyed. As a result of Tiger King, several targeted for her speculated involvement in the, her second husband.and her husband felt betrayed by filmmakers, stating she was told the discussion of Joe Exotic and Baskin's missing husband were just for context.

In a post on the Big Cat Rescue website, Baskin said that the show 'has a segment in the third episode devoted to suggesting, with lies and innuendos from people who are not credible, that I had a role in the disappearance of my husband Don 21 years ago' and that the series 'presents this without any regard for the truth.' Baskin has never been charged with anything related to Don's disappearance and has always denied anything to do with it. In partial response to Baskin, director Goode stated while he felt Baskin had the right intention, he questioned if 'it was fair to keep these tigers in cages', adding that the tigers 'pace neurotically' and that 'Sometimes you wonder whether or not one should humanely euthanize these cats instead of letting them suffer in cages'. Baskin preemptively answered that '.

Our goal is to end having them in cages and have no need for a sanctuary like ours. Our federal bill, the, would stop the cub petting that drives the breeding and end ownership as pets in back yards.' ’s Kathleen Walsh argued that the show’s treatment of, and the public reaction to, Baskin has been: 'The series provides example after example of Exotic’s violence, cruelty, and, while the evidence against Baskin (compelling enough as it is framed in the series) is circumstantial. Maybe Baskin did kill her husband—and the third episode of the series is devoted to the evidence pointing to this conclusion—but so far there is little more than speculation to say that she did. Meanwhile, the series shows clips from Exotic’s erstwhile YouTube series in which he poses alongside a blow-up doll, Baskin in, shoving a dildo into its mouth and shooting it in the head.'

Noted that Baskin was portrayed as hypocritical for keeping the tigers in captivity instead of releasing them without explaining that doing so was not an option—being captive-bred from mixed stock, as well as in-effect, meant they were unsuited to either survive in the wild or rebuild regional populations. Elle also noted that Baskin was the only source in the series explaining why keeping the wild animals was abusive.'

Goode brings to Tiger King the intellectual rigor and social responsibility of. A nightclub and hotel developer', Peter Frick-Wright, who had produced Cat People, a podcast series covering the American big-cat industry, wrote in.

He found the series particularly unfair to Baskin, pointing that in focusing on her husband's disappearance so much it failed to distinguish her from Exotic and Antle, barely mentioning that Big Cat Rescue only accepts tigers confiscated by law enforcement or from owners who could no longer handle them, owners who had to sign a contract with heavy financial penalties if they owned another big cat or were even photographed with one, a proviso not mentioned in the series. Baskin also forbids volunteers or staff from touching the animals; they are fired for doing so, Frick-Wright wrote.

The series also minimized Baskin's efforts to lobby Congress for stricter legislation on animal trafficking. Saff Saffery Hawaiian-born Saff Saffery, a veteran who served in both the and, worked as a manager for Joe Exotic's Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park for almost ten years; described Saffery as 'the series' only not-awful person'. Following the release of the Netflix series, Robert Moor, the creator of an earlier podcast about Joe Exotic, posted a tweet stating 'Saff, the person who got mauled by the tiger, told me repeatedly that he is trans, prefers to be called Saff, and uses he/him pronouns. So please do likewise.' Media outlets criticized the series for and Saffery.

Contrasted Netflix's treatment of Saffery with their recent collaboration with, an LGBTQ media watchdog group, on a campaign raising 'transgender visibility in the entertainment industry'. Saffery clarified to,On a daily basis, I am called 17 different things. I never really took it to heart. For context, my conversation with Rob was that he asked me, 'What do you prefer? Saff or Kelci?'

And of course I said Saff because that’s what I've been called for the past 20 years. I was in the Army prior to the park and they always use last names.

So, Saff was my preferred name. And I've always gone by him since I could say that out loud. My family was always very supportive—it was never an issue.Regarding whether he identified as a, Saffery stated to magazine, 'I don't know that that describes me. You know, nothing was done. I really just have lived this lifestyle.

And, you know, my family knows this. And obviously, people closest to me know. This is how I've lived my entire life. I don't know anything else.' In 2013, the then-27 year old was bitten by one of the tigers as he mistakenly put his arm into its cage, and opted to have an of the —instead of a two-year series of surgeries—returning to work within a week; as of April 2020, he is trying to pay off $1300 in medical costs and hopes to somehow get a arm and hand. Saff disconnected from Joe Exotic and the zoo in 2018 and moved to California after Exotic became engulfed and more interested in a feud with Carole Baskin than the zoo.

Saff said in an interview that he opted to be “consumed with the animals” and “distanced. From the drama” that enveloped the rest of Exotic’s staff; when the zoo went to new owners he cut all ties.

Unsourced material may be challenged and.Find sources: – ( June 2016) The formal education of the Aztecs was to train and teach young boys how to function in their society as warriors. The Aztecs had no standing army, so every boy not of noble birth was trained to become a warrior. All boys who were between the ages of ten and twenty years old would attend one of the two schools. These two schools were the Telpochcalli (the neighborhood school for commoners) and the Calmecac, the exclusive school for nobles.

At the Telpochcalli students would learn the art of warfare, and would become warriors. At the Calmecac students would be trained to become military leaders, priests, government officials, etc. Trades such as farming and artisan skills were not taught at these schools.At the age of 15, sons of commoners would be sent to a Telpochcalli within their neighborhood. Here, boys would be trained in the art of warfare and accustomed to military life.

The instructors at these schools were veteran warriors who had experience in warfare and leadership. The schools focused on bravery and included a great deal of physical effort and intense pain to increase the strength and stamina of the students. Manual labor included transporting goods such as branches for firewood.

The longer the student had attended the school, the more branches he would be expected to carry. This test of carrying firewood would be used to determine if the boy would do well in warfare.Other manual labor tasks carried out from the Tepochcalli would be community projects. These projects would mainly consist of cleaning areas, building walls, digging canals, and farming. From these projects students would work hard to complete tasks, and gain physical experience needed to engage in warfare. The students of this school would also be used to transport shields, food, military supplies, weapons, armor, and wood to warriors on the battlefield.

The reason for forcing the students to be near the battlefield was to make them fearless of warfare. Students were under heavy surveillance at all times. If a student was caught leaving training their punishment would be severe. Often, they would be beaten and their hair removed. By removing their hair they would remove any sign of them being a warrior.

Drinking was prohibited; if caught, the student could be beaten to death. Relationships outside of the school were also prohibited; if a student was caught sleeping with a woman, they would be beaten to death.Life as a jaguar warrior. This section does not any. Unsourced material may be challenged and.Find sources: – ( June 2016) Following the warrior's path was one of the few ways to change one's social status in Aztec culture. Eagle and Jaguar warriors were full-time warriors who worked for the city-state to protect merchants and the city itself. They were expected to be leaders and commanders both on and off the battlefield, and acted as sort of a police force for the city. Men who reached this rank were considered as nobles and elites of society, and were granted many of the same privileges as a noble.

They were allowed to drink, have, and dine at the royal palace. Jaguar warriors also participated in gladiatorial sacrifices.Gladiatorial sacrifice.

This section does not any. Unsourced material may be challenged and.Find sources: – ( June 2016) The gladiatorial sacrifice was a giant spectacle the entire city would attend. The captives would be paraded in the streets followed by eagle and jaguar warriors to the sacrifice stone. The eagle and jaguar warriors would dance around the captives and display their shields and weapons to the crowds. Once they brought the captives to the sacrifice stone, they would be tied down to it to be ceremonially killed.

The captives would be forced to drink pulque to intoxicate them. They would be painted and given a sword and a shield along with four cudgels to throw.

The warriors would then attack the victim who was tied down to the sacrifice stone with an obsidian laced club. The club would be used for ceremonial use and would be decorated with feathers. He would be attacked by several warriors one at a time and then, if still alive, would be attacked by all four together. The warriors which fought during the gladiatorial sacrifice would be eagle and jaguar warriors. If the captive fought off all of them, he would then have to defend himself against a left handed warrior. If captives were not killed this way, then they would be killed the following day by the offering priests.

The gladiatorial sacrifice was done as a ceremony, for the return of warriors with their captives. The gladiatorial sacrifices were held during the month of the Feast of the Flaying of Men.See also.References.
