re: LSU traditions, and why our governor doesn’t give a sh’t about them.

Jeff Landry is a fricking clown. I say this a someone who is MAGA AF. It’s a really terrible look for him. To spend political capital on Mike being in the stadium with all of the other issues in the state shows how incompetent a politician he really is to be honest.

I happen to think having the live tiger was neat, and not any less "harmful" to the animal than people who have pets.

…because you really have no fricking clue.

You don’t think activists call out poachers?

Do any of you even get what the point was? I'm asking if the tiger looks unhappy, not because I CAN tell if he's happy or not, but precisely because no one can tell. Because animals are not emotional beings. Activists get all caught up in their feelings about the treatment of animals who are being pampered inside their artificial habitat, because supposedly the animals will miss their home life. Well how do they know that? What have these animals told them?
How do people miss the obvious sarcasm when I asked if the tiger looked unhappy?

I haven't worn LSU gear even once in my life. I'm not a "gear" person. But what, exactly, gives you the impression that I have no education based on the paragraph you quoted? If you believe you are smarter than I am, then you should have no problem preparing a well thought out response with counter arguments. When you insult someone's intelligence, with no attempt of a counterpoint, it gives the opposite impression of what you think you've achieved.

Oh, I know they have. I didn't say otherwise. What I want to know is why some people are so concerned about the plight of an animal like Mike the tiger, when tigers who live in their natural habitat are in danger of being hunted to extinction? You would think that anyone who is truly concerned for the well being of these animals would welcome a safe environment for them to live in.
I'm not an animal rights activist, obviously, but I don't want to see them go extinct. I tend to agree, for that reason, with laws that protect against the total removal of an animal from existence. Unfortunately, the countries where these tigers live are not able to protect them very well, it seems.

Your opinions about whether animals have feelings and show emotion is widely and thoroughly debunked. Your opinion that animals have only one basic instinct, to search for food, is widely and thoroughly debunked.
Yet here you are, bravely fighting the fight in the face of such overwhelming and widely accepted knowledge about animals.
Cheers to you, good sir, for without people as ignorant as you, there wouldn’t be a way to tell who has a functioning brain and who doesn’t. Thank you for your service.

Not it is not. And that is why you aren't debunking it right now.

Putting words in my mouth. I said hunting for food is what they do their whole lives. I didn't say that was their only instinct. Their instinct is to survive. They protect themselves and their young from predators when threatened, some animals hibernate, and so on. Of course, animals have been known to eat their young when unable to find food. Because their instinct is to survive.
Animals have an instinct to bond with their caretakers, because they see their caretakers as if they (the humans) were their mother. This happens when animals grow up with humans instead of their actual mothers.

Where is your "overwhelming and widely accepted knowledge"? Your tactic is a familiar one, widely used by people who rely on the opinions of ignorant and self righteous activists who assign "facts" to animals that are never supported with evidence, by simply stating "it is widely accepted". How convenient for you, that you don't have to know what that knowledge supposedly is.

There are hundreds there in captivity, and they do not get the treatment that something like Mike the Tiger gets here. And where they "live", as you put it, anywhere in the world, they are hunted. Large animals tend to be hunted for many reasons.
Yeah, I’m sure that’s what you meant when you talked about tigers being hunted in Africa.

Wow. I don’t know how anyone who has ever owned a dog can possibly believe this. Hope you don’t have any pets.

Hard to know where to begin, and I am writing this post fully knowing that you will not read it. But in an attempt to demonstrate just how thoroughly ignorant you are being, here goes nothing.
Study on empathy in animals
Article outlining studies about animals displaying emotions such as joy, fear and grief
Studies shows that animals are sentient and capable of experiencing distress, pain, and joy
Basic summary article from Wikipedia citing multiple sources
This is what you said:
“Does the Tiger look unhappy? Did he tell you he was sad? He's an animal. As long as he has food, that's what animals spend their entire lives doing, is hunting for food.”
Not hard to infer you were suggesting that your simplistic view of animals is limited to a belief that they only care about food.
And your comments about being attached to a caretaker actually are contrary to the very point you seem to be trying to make. But I’ll let you try to sort that one out.
From that same post, you added this gem:
It’s only incoherent because you are ignoring the facts. LSU has to have a lot of special permits and accreditation to have a live tiger on campus. Part of maintaining that accreditation requires that LSU, among other things, actually demonstrates that it gives a shite about the wellbeing of the the animal. See if you can figure out the logical leap there instead of limiting your thought process to “me want tiger to roar in stadium.”
See above. And also note that you have provided no evidence at all to support anything you’ve stated, other than your own clearly ignorant opinions.
