American big-cat rights activist and CEO of Big Cat Rescue, a non-profit animal sanctuary based near Tampa, Florida.

Baskin drew public attention when she was featured in the 2020 Netflix documentary series "Tiger King" about Oklahoma-based private zoo operator Joe Exotic. The Netflix series follows both Baskin and Joe Exotic, filming their ongoing and escalating feuds over exotic animals in private zoos.

She and her husband Don founded Wildlife on Easy Street, an animal sanctuary near Tampa for big cats, in 1992. She is the current chief executive officer of the sanctuary, which she renamed to Big Cat Rescue. She has used social media such as Facebook and YouTube and her "The Cat Chat" podcast to promote activism against private zoos.

In 2020, Baskin was cast in season 29 of "Dancing with the Stars."
