re: LSU will have a live tiger on the field Sat Night

Omar is going to have the time of his life. Why do you guys always assume the tigers hate it? Only one of the seven Mike's has ever "refused" to get into his travel cage.

Have you ever had a cat as a pet? And tried to put him in a carrier to take him to the vet?

You can't compare what went on with previous Mikes because most of them were housed either in that rancid jail cell that used to be his "cage" or in the "improved" one that added about 10 feet of chain link "yard" for him to pace around in....and that's all he used to do -- pace back and forth all day and night long, because that's what wild animal experts say cats do when they're angry or depressed.

Did you ever see them load the old Mikes into the trailer? I did, and they literally used to scare him into the cage, using sticks and shouting.

If you saw people doing that to your dog, you'd go nuts.

But it's OK because of "tradition"?

This is wrong on so many levels.
