It is anticipated that continued peer review and feedback, often from applicants, as well as industry innovations, will result in a methodical updating of these standards. Proposed changes are typically reviewed each December.


Sounds like every single certification process that exists in any industry

Their website is actually blocked at work

You haven't noticed how the SJWs operate incrementally?


No, SJWs are already calling for LSU to get rid of the tiger. They don't operate incrementally, they go too far immediately.

Are you under the impression that become accreditation means that the process is controlled by SJWs?
The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries

What is your issue with the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries? Put forward a logical argument against them and against LSU become accredited without just throwing slippery slopes

Personally, I'm not an expert on live tigers, so I tend to try and research the experts in the fields opinions, arguments, and facts before creating my own opinion.


From everything I've read, LSU provides Mike with the highest quality of care via Dr. Baker, and it is time to get accreditation to reflect the standards and integrity that I believe we show in his treatment.

Bottom line: this is a preemptive strike against SJW's to ensure the ability to get tigers in the future:

quote:

"These rescue tigers come up constantly," Baker said. "There are so many of them. There will be no problem in identifying an excellent tiger in need of a sanctuary home."


The renovations being made seem great to me too given our weather:

He said the university will also transform the center column that holds up the mesh above the habitat to look more like a tree, add a hot and cold rock that can warm up or cool down the tiger as he strolls outside, repaint chain link fencing and repair some night house structures.

I don't like being told what I can and can't do with my own things. The people who run these types of organizations have stated that "I'm very glad they're not doing that. I think it still sends the wrong message to keep a cat in a glass case just to say you have one, but it's a whole lot better than what they had," said the founder CEO of Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida.

I believe it boils down to whether someone thinks it's OK to have a tiger in a cage. These peoples stated goal is to end that. Why do you want to play ball with them? Yes, this is a slippery slope we are getting on.
