“We believe that animals shouldn’t be used as entertainment, they aren’t here for our amusement,” said Rebecca Gerber of Care2, a California-based social media operation with 40 million members. Care2 is sponsoring the effort that began two weeks ago.


quote:

This isn’t Care2’s first stab at petitioning LSU on behalf of Mike VII. Soon after Mike VI died of cancer, the group gathered 142,000 signatures asking LSU not to replace him with a new tiger. In comparison, the petition asking to create the City of St. George had about 13,000 signatures in June.

Many are from overseas. “You cretins at Louisiana University - this is a TIGER! Tigers are loners, they must roam wide and free. Caging them is torture, out and out torture,’ wrote Judith A. of Queensland, the Sunshine State of Australia.


Even F. King Alexander isn't dumb enough to listen to these morons.

ETA: For added fun, here is there Facebook link with open comment sections on this story. Do work OT, do work.

At some point, LSU is gonna lose this battle. But, it's more likely to happen between Mike's, not with a current one.

Wonder if they realize that the average Tiger lifespan is longer in zoos than in the wild...

We discussed this last weekend. Ever notice how all the future Mike numbers (Mike VIII, Mike IX, etc.) are already on the enclosure? I was told that is a not so subtle indicator from the University big donors (who paid for the enclosure) that they expect there to be a live Tiger. Money talks.

I don’t see why it should so long as zoos remain legal. LSU gets tigers from overcrowded captive tiger enclosures. They don’t go hunt down wild ones. They’re providing a service to a lucky tiger, not just “using one for entertainment”

Would it be cool if we bought a hot arse California chick and put her in a leather cat suit for football season? Off season, I'll house her.

Mike has it better than basically every house pet. He basically won the lottery. If he could talk he'd say please keep feeding me all the food I want and never have to worry about anything killing me all the while having my own space to do what I want, which is sleep.

These people are idiots.

Even the brain dead writers at The Advocate know the difference between a tree hugging hippie “Free the tiger!” petition with no effect and a petition to form a new city which can only be signed by people in that area.
