What are the chances that LSU caves in to PETA?

I pray LSU stands their ground again on this but the pressure not to get another Tiger will be more intense every time.

Dr Baker is already on the search for a new Mike.

No chance of that happening this time. But as we put more liberals in power, it will happen in the future.

Dude. Zero, Nada , Zip. They aren't stupid. They don't want to get lynched.

The pussification of America is strong now... all it takes is the LGBTQBLM crowd to come out and protest and there goes a live mascot.

As long as ultra liberals like F King Alexander are at the helm anything is possible!

PETA did the same last time we were looking for a Tiger. Their protests are just louder and more noticeable now with social media. LSU ignored them last time and will ignore them this time.

I would hope people would stop paying PETA any attention after stuff like this.

I was shocked that all the liberals I know are in favor of getting a new Mike. I'm sure it's because he has a better life than most humans though.
But they're the type that think hunting is evil and zoos are awful.

zero chance
Who do you think LSU wants to piss off?
PETA, or the names of the people on the bricks all around Mikes expensive arse habitat?

If I were a tiger I would want to be LSU's mascot.

LSU isn't going to let that palatial tiger habitat go to waste. I hope we get a cub so he gets used to big crowds and loud noises early.

I don't think people, in general, whether conservative or liberal, pay much attention to PETA anymore. The ASPCA has FAR more credibility and tends to make cases of animal cruelty on knowledge and research (they also tend to favor rehomes or rescues to euthanasia, which seems to be the preferred solution for PETA), though neither organization is "perfect."
If the ASPCA and PETA were both covering international news, the ASPCA would be comparable to Reuters and PETA would be "The View."
You'll notice in their little rant about how Mike has been "exploited" they don't mention how many home games he's attended in the last 3 years, how he's not prodded into his trailer (he decides if he wants to go), how he's attended to by a dedicated staff of veterinarians and students of a veterinary school that was ranked in the top 25 by US News just last year.
PETA forgot to mention the size or description of his habitat and the level of maintenance it gets, and most importantly, how few Bengal tigers are left in the world, and that according to National Geographic, they live 8 to 10 years in the wild, but at least one tiger can be rescued from a potentially cruel situation to (in essence) win the lottery by becoming the next Mike, being treated like a king while at the same time studied in the interest of the survival of the species.
The bottom line is that LSU is interested in the best possible care for the animal, and is especially interested in acquiring an animal by means of donation or rescue, and considers euthanasia a last resort in the event of a painful and incurable illness. I think most people know this, while PETA has been losing credibility steadily over the years, so I'd be surprised if they somehow sway public opinion.

LSU spent $3 million on a home for Mike. You think we're gonna cave to a bunch of weirdo tree hugging hipsters? PETA is just doing this for attention. No one cares about them and they know it.

The crackpots at PETA have very little power. The television networks have a ton of power. If PETA could somehow convince ESPN, which is very liberal politically, to not renew their SEC broadcast contract if LSU has a live tiger, it could spell the end of a tiger on campus.
