I mean, I’m sure I’ll get killed for this, but part of me agrees with him. Honestly I wish we had the ability to keep him in a much bigger enclosure, like a big field with huge fencing and a bigger waterhole. Tigers need a lot of territory to roam on. I don’t think anyone who’s a big animal lover thinks the situation is ideal, but Mike gets cared for way better than 90% of tigers living in enclosures. Also we could release live animals in the field and pay for admission to watch the carnage. Win/win.

I don't particularly care what he or anyone else thinks and would challenge them to find a tiger that's better cared for or that lives in a nicer enclosure than that one. I've honestly walked by that cage a few times and been jealous.

Well, he'll have the money to build whatever kind of enclosure he thinks is suitable for Mike. If it bothers him that much, he can cut a fricking check.

Best part of the interview was Burrow just roasting Coach Duggs. Burrow for Texas Tech defensive coordinator!

Mike's house is priceless.


I love Burrow but he hasn't been around for all the previous Mike's.


That animal is more than just a tiger. He's part of a long lineage of previous tigers and they have hardly kept in poor conditions (Not saying that's what Burrow said, I'm just not clicking on a blind link)


That Tiger lives a great life. The ones who were there before him did, he shall and is, and so will his followers.



Not sure why you felt the need to post this.

I doubt that many on the Rant would care for Joe’s opinion on many social and political matters.

3.7 million and 15,000 square feet.... They could probably expand a bit to give him a cool 20k square feet as well.

However, this always boils down to Mike has always lived in captivity he would not survive in the wild, tigers in captivity actually live longer, Mike has the best vet staff, premium nutrition, and receives the best care from his handlers.

One of two things now happens to all the lemmings: 1 - Joe B is a dick for not liking Mike locked up OR 2. Wow Joe is right, let's let MIke out.

He should have seen Mike's old cage. The difference is night and day. Tigers do roam a huge area in the wild but Mike can't be released in the wild so I think his living situation is one of the best out there for a cat in captivity. Mike wasnt specifically bred for LSU and is given a good home based on the circumstances.

Bred in captivity or not it’s just hard to see a big beautiful animal like that forced to live in a closed cage.

Well at least he waited until he graduated before expressing his thoughts on the current affairs of Mike's living habitat.

Mikes that get selected are equivalent to poor people winning the lottery. These aren’t cats taken from an ideal situation to live in a less ideal situation, it’s the other way around.

It’s really that simple.
