This 'Mike' wouldn't refuse to go in to Tiger Stadium on game-day.

Why do people think that the reason we don't have a new Mike is because we don't know where to get one from?

I know the administration is looking for rescue tigers, would be a great option if there was a young one that would last more than a few years. Also would be awesome to have a trained tiger that could enter the cage on command.

This Ringling Bros thing is actually concerning. PETA is going to try to make it into a big issue.

I saw the circus this summer. You can tell which animals are positively reinforced and which ones were beat to perform (tigers).

I'm not a tree hugger by any means, but my wife who doesn't have a clue about such things noticed the behavioral differences and commented on it. The contrast is noticeable.

Grabbing one of these tiggers would be good I think.

Just put a flaming ring in front of the cage door, and he'll jump in.

Not a bad idea. I'd imagine we'd want a tiger that's been trained to let Coach O ride him into the stadium

So when they bust a prostitution ring do guys think, oh great some available women needing a stable man?

Those tigers won't be in great shape people.
