So are we all agreed? Tony the Truck Stop Tiger becomes the new Mike?

Seems like that's a win for everyone.

he can at least become the interim Mike until LSU can get a cub donated to them.

We get new tiger cubs, not some gas-station trash. No thanks.

That's funny. I pulled in there Friday and checked him out and was thinking damn I bet he wishes he was living in Mike's habitat. Kind of felt sorry for ole truckstop Tony.

Dr. Baker will never go for it and I'm ok with that.

its amazing to me some people here have issues with taking a glorious animal pent up in hell 10 miles away and letting him experience joy. feel good stories aside, its just amazing to me people have a problem with that.

LSU 'family' should not only demand it but also demand that damn hell hole of a gas station never be allowed to have a tiger again.

I would be ecstatic if we could put that tiger in Mike's den. Can you imagine how horrible that animal must feel from June through September stuck in a tiny cage in a black top parking lot? Little shite children throwing Cheetos or Skittles at it? I don't know what I'd do if I ever met the guy who owned that gas station. He will never get any of my money and I'd walk to the next exit if I were out of gas. If piece of shite was a word in the dictionary, that fricker's picture would be there. I don't say I hate people often but that fricker deserves an eternal fire in his eyeballs with simultaneous liquid Nitrogen poured on his nuts...

Edit: I hope that cocksucker gets a link to this thread so he can answer for his general disregard to all things decent...

I'm for it.

Tony is 13, so his reign as Mike VII would be short, but this would be a humanitarian thing to do.

LSU's Tiger mascots are donated, but TAF/boosters can raise millions quickly.

Tony's owner won't donate because once Tony dies, he's subject to the private ownership law and can't get another tiger.

Make the sleazeball an offer he can't refuse. Five thousand dollars and I bet he signs Tony over in a heartbeat. And it's TAF money, not taxpayer funds.

And, like Mike VI, Tony is a Bengal-Siberian mix.

Why not bring Tony in and get a cub to stay with him as long as he doesn't mind and we can have a young cub brought up around the tradition while still having a full grown tiger that deserves to live in Mikes habitat after sitting in that shite hole of a dog pen in Grosse Tete, I grew up in Maringouin and been seeing that tiger suffer for years, bring on tony and a cub

Negative ghost rider for a couple reasons.
A. How old is that tiger? We will be right back in this spot in a couple years.
B. He isn't accustomed to the lsu environment that a cub would adapt to better. Thruckstop tiger is used to what 10-15 people a day coming by. Not the hundreds that pass lsu everyday.
It's a good thought but would be a detriment at this point for that particular tiger.

Tony has probably seen more incest than the alabama elephant. I'll stand by and wait for the right guy. Wouldn't wanna rush out and find a tiger that can't beat Navy.

It'd be great to get Tony, just to rescue him before he dies. But from what I've read of him, the owner is a piece of garbage who'll never relinquish it. All I can do is never stop at his nasty truck stop for anything.

Only if the current owner is thrown into the cage with the Tiger after the Tiger has not been fed for a week
