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.
