It's very stressful on the animal to bring him out and be surrounded by a lot of noises and people. I loved seeing mike on the field, but this decision is the right one not to bring him out.

It’s because we have some very effeminate, SJW veterinary students / faculty. They believe it’s cruel to force him into his cage. Another sign of the downfall of this once fine university.

It was a condition of having his habitat garner preserve status.

One word PETA. Early on Mike did not want to get in the trailer. In earlier times apparently there was a device like a cattle prod to get him in the trailer. PETA made it an issue. So no more Mike in the stadium

They say it's stressful, but the only Mike to never see TS had the shortest life.

I saw Memphis brings theirs to the games still. They have a glass cage.

LSU officials capitulating to political/social "correctness". It would also frighten the opposing fans and cause many to seek refuge in safe spaces.

Because some coonass posted a recipe for Bengal Tiger sauce piquant. Gotta take that seriously.

Who’s game day experience is really affected by not having Mike being carted around the stadium for a few minutes before the game? This is such a stupid thing to get worked up over.

Just do a search and read one of the many other threads started by some mouth breather on this subject. They should correlate closely with those starting threads on “why wone duh ban play duh neck?”

Leave Mike the hell alone.

In order for LSU to get another tiger legally LSU had to agree with the animal rights people not to take him into the stadium and use him as a mascot. We also had to spend about a million bucks on upgrading his habitat.

LSU got approved as a Tiger sanctuary or something like that so we could get tigers in the future.

My first LSU game was against Duke in 1958, and I've been attending games in Tiger Stadium since then. In all those years, I never once cared if Mike was in the stadium. It was such a small part of the experience, his presence was insignificant.

Who cares? Go see him in his habitat that is just across the street from the stadium. It’s pretty awesome to have a live tiger living on campus. Some of you will always find something to bitch about.
