Not exactly up to speed on Tiger hospice care...but I don;t like the idea of dumping him the BR zoo like we did to previous Mikes

I would like the Ag school (in cooperation with the vet school) to set up our own tiger breeding program, for conservation and to supply other zoos, train experts in tiger care, etc., etc. As part of that, we could have a tiger hospice for our own retired tiger, so we would control all of that. We would breed and select our own mascots, provide them for other schools - mid-term we would have a goal of breaking even on the program, and long-term, maybe make a little profit.

It's not like TAF can't afford something like this. And, it's the right thing to do.
