I promise you this. They'll rationalize that as well. There's absolutely nothing they wont cave to. Nothing whatsoever.

Pretty fallacious

Really? Next his habitat will not be up to standard and will have to double in size. After enlarging the enclosure it will then have to be a private location so that people can only see him at operating hours.
The roadblocks are designed to eventually have the university question whether it is even worth having a live tiger.

Yea, still a fallacy.
Accreditation would be a very nice accomplishment and actually help ensure the future of having a live tiger on campus.
Awfully slippery
Link to the roadblock designs?
The university has questioned whether it is worth having a live tiger and has emphatically responded with YES and given their sound logic in defense of the decision.

Sounds like every single certification process that exists in any industry

No, SJWs are already calling for LSU to get rid of the tiger. They don't operate incrementally, they go too far immediately.
Are you under the impression that become accreditation means that the process is controlled by SJWs?
The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries
What is your issue with the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries? Put forward a logical argument against them and against LSU become accredited without just throwing slippery slopes
Personally, I'm not an expert on live tigers, so I tend to try and research the experts in the fields opinions, arguments, and facts before creating my own opinion.
From everything I've read, LSU provides Mike with the highest quality of care via Dr. Baker, and it is time to get accreditation to reflect the standards and integrity that I believe we show in his treatment.
Bottom line: this is a preemptive strike against SJW's to ensure the ability to get tigers in the future:
quote:
"These rescue tigers come up constantly," Baker said. "There are so many of them. There will be no problem in identifying an excellent tiger in need of a sanctuary home."
The renovations being made seem great to me too given our weather:
quote:
He said the university will also transform the center column that holds up the mesh above the habitat to look more like a tree, add a hot and cold rock that can warm up or cool down the tiger as he strolls outside, repaint chain link fencing and repair some night house structures.

I don't like being told what I can and can't do with my own things. The people who run these types of organizations have stated that "I'm very glad they're not doing that. I think it still sends the wrong message to keep a cat in a glass case just to say you have one, but it's a whole lot better than what they had," said the founder CEO of Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida.
I believe it boils down to whether someone thinks it's OK to have a tiger in a cage. These peoples stated goal is to end that. Why do you want to play ball with them? Yes, this is a slippery slope we are getting on.

Except that isn't what this is doing. This is telling you what you need to get someone else's thing.

That one facility CEO speaks for the entire industry?
News to me. Also, your quote reflects EXACTLY what I said.
Obviously not a standard for accreditation....

You want to be accredited so that you can be told what you have to do to be able to be given an old diseased tiger and go through the process every 8 years.
All the while, this guy can get a healthy 4 month old tiger in Mexico that would live 20-26 years in captivity.

LSU's choice to target a young, male tiger could complicate the process, as many animals who wind up in sanctuaries are older and not in good health, Leahy said. She said she would prefer for LSU to be more flexible in its search.

That isn't what the quote you linked said actually.

I don't think that says all, I believe it says many.

What's your point? frick that guy. Should we strive to be more like Mexico?
Sounds like a young tiger that needs to be rescued.....
That shows there will be a place for zoos in the future as long as captive tigers continue to be bred for private purchase

What's not? Not moving the tiger for any other reason than medical is a standard for accreditation through GFAS.

Show me where that's a requirement of the accreditation.

My point is we could go out right now and get a healthy 4 month old tiger that would live 20-26 years in our top of the line facilities that we are renovating with upgrades that are not required for accreditation, tomorrow. And not play the SJW game. But some people like to contribute to the pussification of America because they don't have the balls to say that "we think it's OK to have a live tiger in a cage and we are going to take the best care of him that we can and we don't give a **** if you like it."

It's in the article.

Sure, if we paid for one.
That's kind of the entire point though. Zoos and sanctuaries have standards on transferring tigers.

What a hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still waiting for a logical argument against Dr. Baker's or for you to offer solid reasoning against accreditation.

That isn't what I've argued against at all.
This is what you quoted:

Where does it say that this person's viewpoint is the viewpoint of the accreditation agency?
The majority of people in the industry are going to work for public facing facilities like zoos

This is the last thing I'm going to say on this.
You want to: get accredited so that we can go through arbitrary channels to get older unhealthy tigers and have to submit to ever changing standards and rules in order to receive a new tiger every 10 years.
I believe: we can get a young healthy tiger cub that will live for 20-26 years that we can put in our facility that exceeds any accreditation standards, and acclimate him to our traditions and if we want to take him out of his cage for any reason we can.
