You don't get it. If we want to keep a live tiger on campus, we have to give a little. This takes away the arguments of PETA and other groups. This is what they find most inhumane. Be glad we are getting Mike VII.

It's the pussification of America.

How does Bevo get to the game, How about the Colorado buffalo, or the Auburn Eagle? They manage, and we can too.

It's because of Alexander.

He wanted to terminate the live tiger program entirely. Shutting down the tradition of bringing Mike into the stadium was part of the compromise.

It's hard to win an argument against groups like PETA when we were literally parading a wild, endangered tiger around 100,000 very loud screaming fans. That kinda diminishes the notion that Mike's well being was always our #1 priority.
