re: Getting Mike The Tiger Into His Cage

Im not invested one way or the other really - although I always loved seeing and hearing Mike at games as a child - but your quote above doesnt pass the smell test dude. This Tiger is made to do all sorts of things that he doesnt "feel" like doing. I mean he has to be "forced" to get regular check ups, dental proceedures etc. Right?

Does he feel like having dental procedures done? Probably not. Are dental procedures directly beneficial to his well being? Absolutely. Thats the real deciding factor. His staff of veterinarians can make him do things when those things are strictly for his benefit. With the matter at hand, the staff CANNOT under any circumstances force Mike into a situation where there is no tangible benefit. Their hands are completely tied. The most they can do it try to coax him in to the best of their ability.

If we forced Mike to get into his cage and word caught fire, we would never own a live tiger again. Thats a promise.

Not even trying? You've got to be joking. I'm a student at the veterinary school. You do realize that the veterinarians have to work a) under a serious ethical code and b) under an incredibly strict set of laws and regulations for owning a live tiger? An ENDANGERED SPECIES, at that?

You people need to get a grip. I'm sorry that Mikes veterinary staff refuses to poke and prod him into a small cage where he can be screamed at by a hundred thousand people. If Mike doesn't feel like getting into the cage, Mike doesn't get into the cage.

I mean honestly people, what do you want them to do? How hard to you want them to try? I'm convinced you crazy arse ranters would have Mike dragged in by his tail if you could. Y'all need to stop bitching about Mike AND his staff. Dr. Baker is an incredibly hard working and gracious man, He devotes an incredible amount of time to ensure that Mike is being as well taken care of as he possibly can. Enjoy the luxury of having a live tiger on campus and stop being such a child.

Inshore Saltwater Fishing Trip - Venice, LA.

Posted by GeauxDVM3 on 2/9/15 at 6:10 am

I just recently won an inshore fishing trip for three for $300 at an auction. (good price? it's supposedly worth $850) I'm not sure when the best time to make a reservation would be for, can someone who's well versed in this stuff make a recommendation? I want to make a reservation ASAP so I can make sure my brothers are in town and able to go.

Been offshore fishing in Pensacola a while back, it was a blast. Looking forward to being out on the water again. If anyones curious, it's with Fishing Frenzy Charters and Capt. Frank Lawson.
