For LSU's part, they have publicly stated that they will pursue the (PETA) accreditation. In keeping with the progressive stance, the university says Mike is no longer driven out onto the field in a cage during home football games.


The death of another harmless tradition by political correctness. This time by PETA. Mike will no longer be brought out in his cage and circle the field & be able to greet our opponents exiting their locker room. It's a sad day for LSU Football.

I suspect it never was about Mike VI wanting or not wanting to get into the cage before he got sick.

Dr. Baker made that call about no more cage trips in the stadium, as it caused the animal too much stress.

If we can claim it as a pro-PETA concession, why wouldn't we?

I think Mike VI would have gladly gone to the stadium if there were no fireworks and for me to state the heresy (for an old retreaded field artilleryman) of NO cannon firing...

It's sad that you would let something so trivial bother you.
