There’s been a scary incident at Tiger King star Carole Baskin‘s Big Cat Rescue animal sanctuary.
Volunteer Candy Couser, who has been volunteering at the non-profit for five years, nearly had her arm torn off by a male tiger Kimba during feeding, according to a press release on Thursday (December 3).
“Kimba had been locked away from that section for several days as cameras were being installed there. She opened a guillotine tunnel door at one end of the tunnel, and when she went to raise the second door, she saw it was clipped shut. This is our universal signal NOT to open a gate without the coordinator coming to assist, but Candy said she just wasn’t thinking when she reached in to un-clip it. It is against our protocols for anyone to stick any part of their body into a cage with a cat in it. Kimba grabbed her arm and nearly tore it off at the shoulder,” the press release explained.
“Jane heard the commotion and came running. Kimba dropped his grip and Candy fell away from the side of the tunnel. Gina being a nurse held off the artery under Candy‘s armpit to stop the bleeding and Marc, who had pulled Candy to safety, used his belt as a tourniquet as others called for an ambulance. Gina packed her arm in ice packs to try and save it. The ambulance arrived within 15-20 minutes of the accident. Candy was still conscious and insisted that she did not want Kimba Tiger to come to any harm for this mistake. He is being placed in quarantine for the next 30 days as a precaution, but was just acting normal due to the presence of food and the opportunity.”
Carole Baskin reminded everyone that “this sort of tragedy can happen in the blink of an eye and that we cannot relax our guard for a second around these dangerous cats.”
“This happened on the day our federal bill to ban cub handling and private possession comes to the House floor for a vote. The fact that, despite our intense safety protocols and excellent record of safety, an injury like this can occur just confirms the inherent danger in dealing with these animals and why we need the Big Cat Public Safety Act to eliminate having them untracked in backyards around the country and ending up in sanctuaries where wonderful people like Candy Couser have committed themselves to providing care for those discarded by the pay to play industry.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle bought their Christmas tree on Wednesday (December 2) at an unnamed tree barn, and something funny happened while there!
People confirmed that the royal couple went shopping for their tree that day, and one Twitter user who claims they work at the location had a story to tell.
“We had our lot empty when they got there- their agent promoted them a good time to come instead of us shutting it down. There was one family in there and their stoked little son ran through trees up to Harry and asked if he worked here not knowing who that is,” the alleged employee wrote.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle bought a house in Montecito, California and are preparing for the holidays at home this year with their nearly 17-month-old son Archie.
The tweet was in response to the Center of Countering Digital Hate, which called out the platforms: “Neo-Nazis are selling racist products on Facebook and Instagram. Facebook has left these pages online, despite being told about them 3 days ago. @Facebook, please remove this neo-Nazi network in full, now,” the tweet reads.
“I’m speechless. @Facebook @Instagram how are you tolerating this hate? There’s still accounts there even though you have been notified!!,” she wrote.
An Instagram rep has since given a statement to ET Canada: “We’ve already removed the violating content brought to our attention.”
The photos included some captures of life at home, including a sweet photo of herself kissing her Los Angeles real estate agent boyfriend, Dalton Gomez.
The two were first spotted together hanging out around Valentine’s Day, and reports surfaced that they were dating by March. They have also been quarantining together amid the pandemic.
“He used to be a dancer and they have many mutual friends. She’s gotten to know him quickly with the quarantine. They’ve been spending a lot of one on one time at home,” a source explained at the time.
