re: This douche-nozzle and his Mike columns

the top rated comments are all on LSUs side

these are all different people...

Are you saying that if they can’t rescue all the tigers at one of those shitholes, they shouldn’t rescue any?

This just means, though, that while he lived a good life, he did so—because of LSU—at the expense of the tigers and other exotic animals he left behind.
Nope that’s not how that works.

Okay, so... they should stop taking tigers out of shite places to live in a far better place with expert care where they far outlive their previous lifespan?

There are some serious logical fallacies going on here. The places that the Tigers were adopted from don’t exist because LSU is willing to adopt from them, first of all. Second, what would happen to the cats if LSU didn’t adopt them? They wouldn’t go back to the wild that’s for sure, and if LSU’s care is on par with a top zoo, what’s the fricking problem? It gives at least one tiger a better life than it would have otherwise

So if these backyard shite pits exist—and if the LSU tiger care “program” is an objectively better care facility—then the university ought to be raked over the coals for its rescue efforts?

Can’t blame LSU for adopting tigers legally (non-AZA) which contributes to their veterinary program.
I adopted a greyhound, so if the people that used to race him were bad owners, then it’s my fault for giving him a home after he retired.

it was posted on reddit and the posters there are saying much of the same
