PETA Releases Statement On Reports Of Live Tiger Being At Tiger Stadium Saturday Night

by Staff Reporter

Crystal LoGiudice-USA TODAY Sports

It's been rumored that a live Tiger will be inside LSU's Tiger Stadium for the Alabama game on Saturday night, and PETA is not happy about it...

Here's what PETA Foundation Associate Director of Captive Wildlife Research Klayton Rutherford had to say:

quote:
"It’s shameful and out of touch with today’s respect for wild species that LSU has bowed to Gov. Landry’s campaign to display a live tiger at its football games to amuse the fans. LSU rightly ended this idiotic, archaic practice nearly a decade ago after recognizing that it was cruel to subject a sensitive big cat to the noise, lights, and crowds in a football stadium. Whether the tiger is confined to campus or shipped in from elsewhere, no reputable facility would subject a tiger to such chaos and stress, and PETA and nearly 50,000 of its supporters have already called on Landry to let up and leave big cats alone—and are now urging LSU to grow a spine and just say no."

"PETA has remained silent regarding the euthanasia of "Peanut" the squirrel and "Fred" the raccoon."

LSU and it's fans should ignore this fake animal rights organization.

I was against this because it comes off as a stunt. But on the other hand if it pisses off the PETA assholes, it has value.

CaptainJ47•17 months

This gets news but not Peanut?

Bayou•17 months

I'm all for the tradition, however, there is only one Mike. The fake is where this one gets derailed.

CharlesLSU•17 months

It’s a stunt that is obvious. Feels insincere and fabricated and misplaced as it’s not our Tiger.

That said, frick PETA

Tigercowboy•17 months

WOW! 21 comments and no one has told PETA to STTDB. Disappointing.

SomeLSUguy•17 months

PETA can STTDB

PETA is insufferable. Useless organization.

Clayvet•17 months

PETA can be excessive at times but I’m glad they’re out there. Animals have to have a voice to protect them from human unconsciousness. We’re all in this together. Yes, even the animals.

And gives the Governor exactly what he wanted.

It’s a political statement by PETA.

Memphis has their tiger out in a cage for every game. But crickets by PETA

HurricaneCamille•17 months

No, because you are not aware of PETA's criticism of Memphis doesn't mean it isn't happening. Educate yourself. Otherwise, you are equal to MSNBC.

Jdixon•17 months

PETA is a political arm of democrats much like “planned parenthood”.

mmtiger•17 months

stupid stunt. instead of focusing and enjoying lsu v. alabama, we now have idiot distractions that bring in a far left organization to comment on the situation. The game will be exciting enough without negative distractions.
keep the politics out of football ffs.

Put out Carville in the cage! Gumps will jump thinking it’s their sidstrr/wife.

cajunmud•17 months

Why is it that only cute, furry life is worth protecting from harm? What about snakes, spiders, fleas and the ongoing genocide of mosquitoes? Life is life after all.

memphisplaya•17 months

PETA you’re just upset you didn’t get to kill the tiger

I feel this is how curses get started. If it ain't mike leave the tiger out of it

I bet your typical PETA supporter is also a huge supporter of murdering unborn humans.

F off leftists filth

Turn off your television and live by your direct experience. Other human beings who think and experience the world differently are not your enemies. Quit categorizing people and grouping them by an ‘L’ word. We’re better than this as fellow countrymen and human beings.

cajunmud•17 months

@ Clayvet...I've watched the news for the last 3 days for the first time in 4 years. It's very liberating not having FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, crammed into my brain.

It's SSDD...Same Shitt Different Decade.

Clayvet•17 months

It’s a different world if we’d all do the same, turning off tv and social media. Thinking for ourselves. No more categorizing human beings and more acceptance that just because someone thinks differently than us doesn’t mean they can take anything from you or force you to do the same. Live and let live. Fear is a product that sells and it comes in all forms in the society we’ve created.

PETA…get bent.
