Ways To Make Mike The Tiger Go To The Game

Here's something that Negatards and PosiTigers can agree upon- Mike the Tiger needs to get in his little travel trailer and go to the game(s).
Our tiger has a $9M luxury crib and is the most loved and adored, pampered tiger on the planet. There are mangy tigers freezing their butts off in Siberia, eating frozen squirrels, that would trade places with him in a heartbeat. All we ask him to do in return for all this opulence and adulation is take a short ride across the street 6 or 7 times a year, for a few hours. I, for one, think this excuse of "if he doesn't feel like getting in his trailer, then he doesn't have to" is unacceptable, and any means short of a cattle prod (because cattle prods are too short!) should be considered and utilized.
We already know that PETA is outraged and doesn't like us, so why not piss them off even more with live Tiger Bait? A lil baby pig for Arkansas games, live chickens for SoCar, bulldog puppies, etc.? ( When I bring this up in conversations and suggest a fluffy white poodle, everyone thinks it's funny, but change it to a fat little Labrador puppy and people are mortified and tell me what a sick bastard I am!?!)
OK, so if that idea won't float, what else can we do? Jiggle a rubber snake on a string? Some kind of wind-up toy to pique his curiosity? How about get a clown that makes balloon animals to make a weiner dog out of boudin sausage, and pull that on a string to entice him in?
Take a break from helping the coaches prepare for the game, and use some of that Sportsman's Paradise hunting lore and become an animal behavior scientist for a few moments. Let's hear some ideas- funny ones, thoughtful ones, vengeful ones- throw them all out there.
Pre-emptively, let me spare many of you the trouble and say "TL DR' and (assortment of emoticons here). Also, for those of you nominating ME for Tiger Bait, if we put a small door in the back of the trailer big enough to stick my head through and say "Here, kitty kitty", I will volunteer.

$9 million? Really? Seems high.

i think its absolutely ridiculous that he gets to decide whether he wants to go to the game or not

you may think you're training the tiger, but i promise you it's the other way around

It's a damn Tiger

Not only does he need to be there, but we need to fashion an exotic jeweled and tasseled saddle out of elephant skin, and he needs to be ridden around the stadium by LSU luminaries.

Those fake bunnies that greyhounds chase around the track, I think it would be pretty sweet to see a tiger chase one, it's only a wire and a few pullies

Stress can adversely affect wild animals. You do whatever the hell Mike wants.
We love you, Mike.

I've seen $4M, but $9M is a new high.

As a Bama fan living in BR... I love Mike, I really do... but I often question whether putting him in front of 100k screaming humans is right. I'm not around him enough to know how he acts every time. I trust the vets and people that take care of him and I'm actually supportive that they don't just force him out on EVERY game day.
Is Mike a mascot or a wild, captive animal?
(I swear I'm not a crazy over the top animal rights person)

How about a dn steak
Also if the Tigers pissed off, I sure as shite am not going to try and force it into a cage it doesn't want to go into. I mean the Tiger may love his trainers and all, but one angry leave me alone snap and oh shite

They should tell him there are a bunch of [slur of choice] in the stadium. If there's one thing that's true of tigers and especially Mike, they sure hates them some [slur of choice].
