We cleaned all that stuff up when we were ordered to improve his habitat (we went from 2k sqft to 15k sqft and spent millions so you can't say we didn't take it seriously).
LSU, like most schools with live mascots, treats their mascot VERY well. Years ago, PETA wanted hem to do away with the live Tiger, and then it was pointed out that the LSU Tiger lived 10-12 years longer than the average lifespan of a tiger in the wild.
Wiki is a wonderful, tool. BUT, I used to be a LSU fan, so I knew a good bit of this before.

Yeah Mike IV lived over 20 years which is extremely long for a tiger. This is even with him starting in a cage that was about 500 sqft. We gradually improved his habitat but go serious with the big new habitat that is as nice if not nicer than any zoo facility in the world for a tiger.
