Exactly what studies have shown that exposure to crowds or loud noises 7 times a year is bad for tigers? Stressful? It’s not like the jungle tigers evolved in was a low stress environment.

I believe It was observed by his staff that the fireworks we started doing, he did not like. You don’t need a scientific study to determine something is making animal uncomfortable. Just like some dogs hate fireworks on 4th of July and what not. Tigers didn’t evolve in low stress environments yes but they also weren’t evolved with explosions going off. If the animal is uncomfortable you shouldn’t force it on him. It was a cool tradition but it’s over not coming back. Idk why some of our fans are so obsessed with this (not saying you’re one of them), it wasn’t even that intimidating or cool. It’s an animal being paraded around in a cage for a few minutes lol who cares? We’re here to watch football not be at the zoo.
