LSU Plans to Get Another Live Tiger as a Mascot

After the deal of Mike V, LSU begins search for Mike VI over objections of PETA

PETA wants LSU to use a human mascot now that the bengal tiger mascot, Mike V, has died. However, LSU insists that a live tiger mascot is an integral part of the Baton Rouge community, and the search for Mike VI is on. The Advocate reports:

“The live tiger mascot has been part of the LSU family and community for 71 years, and we will be getting a Mike VI,” said Ginger Guttner, spokeswoman for the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, which is leading the process.

LSU insists that its treatment of the live tiger mascot is humane, even though PETA does not agree.
