Yes, because in the end the pressure from alumni, TAF, donors, etc. will be greater than the pressure from the PETA folks.

That habitat is worth 3.5 million dollars and is less than 12 years old (I believe). Theyre going to get a new Mike no question

SJWs can rally all they want. LSU is bigger than their stupid signs and psychotic thinking.

The current Mike was obtained from a rescue habitat for exotic animals. I don't think anyone could complain about grabbing another rescued Tiger that will be treated like gold for the rest of its days.

I agree the pressure from alums and taf will result in another tiger. Those Peta idiots can go DIAF. Have you seen that enclosure?

Hell if they don't get a new tiger then Im more than willing to dress up in one and live in that cage. 20x better than my tiny college apartment now.

That wasn't Roscoe that was that chick whose Dad had bred tigers and would bring the cubs to football games and claim it was the next Mike. I remember meeting her in like 1999 and 2003 different tiger each time naturally.

Oh snap... maybe this was it? We tailgated with my family near the vet school and it was around 1999 so I figured it was a vet school function after realizing it wasn't Roscoe...

Would he walk it around as a really young cub on a leash at tailgates?

The idiots have not won. They've just been enabled by the PC culture. All it will take is for one person or group to tell them no, and they'll go crying to their safe spaces. Would have saved a lot of trouble if Mizzou leadership had done that.

And the people in this thread who are throwing up their hands, saying "Oh well, no more live tiger. Peta might get mad at us" need to grow some balls.

What terrible news about Mike and man, frick PETA and the PC idiots.

If I remember correctly, y'all told peta to GTFO last time. I don't know why this time would be any different.

Different man in charge this time.

It still won't be any different, though.

Jesus. Just let him go in peace.

As someone who has watched the same person be absolutely destroyed by radiation and chemo multiple times, sometimes it is better to let go.

I hate that they are doing radiation on him.
My dad had radiation and it was very hard on him.
The tiger would not be able to discuss his side effects coherently.

just let him die in peace.

I will chip in for a new tiger.

This was my first thought, but with that palace built for a live mascot and as big of an attraction it is, I can't imagine LSU not getting another.
