This is the last thing I'm going to say on this.

You want to: get accredited so that we can go through arbitrary channels to get older unhealthy tigers and have to submit to ever changing standards and rules in order to receive a new tiger every 10 years.

I believe: we can get a young healthy tiger cub that will live for 20-26 years that we can put in our facility that exceeds any accreditation standards, and acclimate him to our traditions and if we want to take him out of his cage for any reason we can.

I've already addressed and debunked this point

How?

By what methods and standards?

With what knowledge of the big cat exchange environment?

Have you called Dr. Baker and let him know that he's doing it wrong?

I hear what you're saying, and would love to be able to get a brand new tiger cub whenever we want and run him through the streets on a spiked collar and leash right into the opposing team's locker room. Problem is, its illegal to get a black market tiger cub like the vato that got arrested in Mexico doing that exact thing. As of now, the school cannot legally go buy a tiger, and we have to resort to someone donating one to us from a rescue center now, leaving us at the mercy of the rescue centers. After looking at all the information and reading the arguements, as the law stands now, this is the best way for LSU to acquire a new, young, bred in captivity tiger. Yes, I hate it and want Mike on the field, just like it has always been before VI quit coming. If we are accredited and are not at the mercy of others to acquire our tiger, I'm for it.
