Mike, their last live tiger mascot, lived in "a $3 million home, complete with a bathing pool and waterfall, that offered 15,000 square feet of living space."

And PETA is upset?



But it has already started with PC in NCAA sports. Nobody asked tigers if they were ok with being used as mascots - and they have feelings too, you know.

Well how long is it then befoe they take away the animals from Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, FSU's horse the mascot rides, etc. This is so stupid.

PETA represents everything that's wrong with America. We might as well just start calling our teams the pansies and the pussies.

That would offend the pansies.

UMKC is now very worried, their mascot is the Kangaroo. Not much use for a old used Kangaroo these days

With this setup I can think of half a dozen posters here that
would volunteer for that gig!! Wing 1981
