Did I miss something? Why did she send that to the University of Missouri paper and not the Reveille?

Ask her bitch arse to find a better habitat that holds a tiger like Mike. I bet she doesnt know the tigers at LSU have lived a shite ton longer than tigers in the wild.

what is considered a natural habitat for a captive tiger? what is a natural habitat for any captive animal?

No one on here really cares about PETA except the hard core conservatives who use them as a straw man to set up easy targets for them to shoot down and scream the word "liberal" every 5 minutes.

PETA is a political/animal rights organization with little to no pull or influence on anything relevant in our lives today. They should be ignored like everything else that goes overboard in our society.

I've been to many zoo's, including San Diego's, which is generally considered the best.

I've never seen a nicer Tiger cage, anywhere, than what Mike has.

For your information dumb beeaatch!

Mike the Tiger is offered a chance to ride in the smaller cage before the games.

If he doesn't want to go, then he doesn't. If he does the he rides, and is then put back in the habitat.

We hava much better record when he does enter the stadium.

Which is the reason why you don't see him at every home game.

He has a bigger habitat than most animals at any zoo.

Just go suck a bag of Dix!

As long as Mike's habitat on campus is nicer than the average zoo (it is, by leaps and bounds) then we'll be fine.

This was in response to a Letter to the Editor that Dr. Baker had written to the same newspaper that had wrongly accused LSU of drugging Mike. Missouri is/was looking into getting a live tiger on campus and it was stated in an article.

I think Peta protested it at the same time they did for Mike. LSU raised the money for a new habitat, SU sold the jag.


pretty sure lacumba died actually.

If Prozac was used, it probably was used for one of its unintended purposes, anxiety. Anti-depressant’s are designed to fight depression but are sometimes effective with anxiety. The purpose would not have been to harm Mike but to help him relax, a humane purpose and safer than tranquilizers. As a poster indicated, Prozac takes weeks to build up in the system before it becomes effective.

Humans usually do not feel anything from taking Prozac, if one were to compare the feeling to the feeling people get from a beer or a mild tranquilizer like valium. Most that obtain a benefit must make an effort to feel the benefit. That is, they must socialize and do the other things their providers recommend. Around half that try it don’t get any benefit. An actual medical doctor could correct this post.

This shite is old. Almost as funny as wanting Georgia to have a robotic Bulldog. I'm ready for Alabama to piss them off even more and build an "Elephant Habitat".

"Sky"

The name says it all. Probably has siblings named "Gaia", "Luna", etc. No doubt the by-product of a 1969 "love-in".

Got a degree Sky? Yes? Music Appreciation perchance? What? Oh, "Neanderthal Ethnic Studies" on a full-ride scholarship from the commune? Gotcha.

No, I am too busy to come tour your weed garden next weekend, but I could send my brother-in-law from the State Police...

I can picture this bitch. She probably drives a Prius and smells like patchouli. She also writes from her arse which she probably should have investigated before looking like a complete jackass with the prozac thing. If they used anything, they would give Mike valium.

I wonder why she doesn't mention that Mike V lived a hell of a lot longer in that "deplorable condition" than he would have being "happy and free" out in the wild?
