re: Petition to remove Mike from his LSU habitat

Mike was born in captivity at a rescue in Indiana and was 2 years old before he came to LSU. He could not survive in the wild because he never had to hunt for his food. Mike has luxury living quarters including a separate air conditioned den that he can go in whenever he wants. Also, he has a swimming area and trees to climb on. Mike has his own veterinary team that cares for him 24/7. He wouldn't have this type of care had he stayed at that rescue in Indiana.
Indeed, Mike has it very good. The place he came from was closed down by authorities and their animals were seized by authorities.
On average, the tigers that are adopted by LSU usually live TWICE as long as tigers in the wild. (Four of the previous five 'Mikes' lived to be at least 17 years, nearly twice the normal 8-10 year lifespan of tigers in the wild. LINK )
