Carole Baskin Awarded Zoo br Once Owned by Joe Exotic Baskin's feud with Joe Exotic br was chronicled on the hit br Netflix show, 'Tiger King.' According to CNN, Baskin's br Big Cat Rescue Corporation filed a lawsuit against br Greater Wynnewood Development Group, LLC (GWDG). GWDG was previously owned by br Joe Exotic, whose real name is br Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage. A judge ruled in favor of Big Cat Rescue Corporation br on Monday, giving Baskin 16 acres of land in br Garvin County, Oklahoma, several cabins and vehicles. Baskin had criticized Maldonado-br Passage's animal park for years, br claiming he was abusing animals. In 2011, Maldonado-Passage was br ordered to pay Baskin $1 million in a br trademark infringement lawsuit. In 2016, Baskin filed a second suit against Maldonado-br Passage, claiming he had transferred the Oklahoma br property to his mother in an attempt to evade creditors. Now, a federal judge has ordered the br property to be turned over to Baskin. GWDG must "vacate the Zoo Land premises br within 120 days of service of this Order ... br Vacation of premises shall also require br removal of all zoo animals from the zoo Land." Maldonado-Passage was convicted last year br for allegedly hiring a hit man to kill Baskin. br He is currently serving a 22-year sentence.
