Negative. The cub can get use to it, younger it is around all of that noise the less it'll stress him out.

Horses we own get use to guns being shot off of them, I've shot a rifle off one of our horses elk hunting, didn't move an inch. Fireworks on forth of July they'll stand right next to the fence when we set them off. They'll be about 20 feet away, we have run them off.

Animals believe it or not are smart. They learn they can trust us. Everyone is too worried about how its going to hurt their ears, stress them out. If they are around it enough and the owners aren't giving off the wrong body language the animals will think it another day with the crazy humans.

yes there's a cannon that just returned...

if you want to get technical, it's a M-120 75mm pack howitzer...it has welds in the tube so it can't fire anything but a blank round...generally there is the full black powder blank and the modified shell base where you can shoot a 10 gauge blank...



Wait... what?

Are you being serious? Have they fired it at a game this year and I just somehow missed it?

Mike VII isn't making any appearances in Tiger Stadium either. That tradition is over.


I know a family member of a former student care taker of Mike and I beleive this.

I'm told Dr. Baker is not a fan of pulling Mike out and taking him to the stadium. It's to much stress.

The caretakers would rather him be less stressed and on display in the enclosure for fans to see. If you remember, if Mike loads in the cage it is in the morning and fans don't see him in the enclosure that day.

Or, you get a young cub and condition him to be used to it and okay with it, like how they would train war horses to be used to rifle and Cannon fire


Dumbest post of the day. Congrats.
