I’m pretty sure I saw Mike in the stadium in 2003 and 2004. When did they stop the tradition to appease PETA (which didn’t work)?

It wasn't to appease Peta. Mike VI sometimes just didn't respond when the handlers were trying to get him in the cage. The people in charge of him thought the crowd and stadium gave him anxiety or some shite so they wouldn't force him. Then they thought it was more humane to never have the tiger do it again. So they never even tried with Mike VII. It's bullshite.
That and the Indian mounds. These traditions need to be restored.

These people are never satisfied. Give an inch and they want a mile. A simple No is all it takes.
I remember Mike's Ricky dink little small cage, he's got it made now.
