Another year.....

















Another why why why Mike the Tiger on the field question.

R'AD sticky a narrative on The Rant that Mike the Tiger will never be on the field again. Asking such question will be met with an indefinite ban.

Per his veterinarian, Mike wasn’t bothered.

You have been groomed by PETA.

What if you had Elon design a tiger habitat under Tiger stadium that is sound proofed and somehow get it to rise up after the field is rolled away? It shouldn't be that hard to do.

In another generation all mascots will be considered inhumane. Along with zoos, dogs on leashes, fish in fishtanks, eating meat, pets in general, hunting, fishing, etc. Keep letting your views be shaped by weak people's emotions and thats where we're headed. Its been a good run at the top of the food chain.

Jesus it’s not that serious. It’s pretty clear it was inhumane to put a tiger in a cage and parade him around so tough guys such as yourself can brag about having a live tiger on the field. You’re not that special

PETA actually isn't as against Mike as they used to be. Their biggest issue was the parading him around the stadium stuff.

Found this quote from 2018:

quote:

Brittany Peet, Director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement at the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Foundation, said LSU has made “significant improvements” to their mascot program since building its original habitat, which was about a seventh of the current habitat’s size. It was torn down over a decade ago and was renovated most recently with the arrival of the latest Mike this year. The organization imagines this change has improved Mike’s welfare. “They’re moving in the right direction, and that should be a model for other schools using live animal mascots,” Peet said.

Peet said the habitat, which includes a pool and heated rock, encourages “natural tiger behavior” and shows improvement from past traditions, such as bringing the tiger out in the field in a “small box” during games. LSU has recently decided to end that practice but does not say it was ever unethical to begin with.

That was a tradition that once we gave it up, we can never go back to.

Damn firecrackers. Whose idea was that anyway?

Park it in front of the visiting teams tunnel and taze it so it roars at them as they leave the tunnel. Pretty badass IMO


This never happened.

Hopefully the ones who want to ban meat in favor of eating bugs won’t extend their wish for humans to Mr.Mike. Feeding Mike steak is prettygood treatment compared to what Klaus wants for us.
