BATON ROUGE, La. -- A group of animal advocates is urging LSU not to replace its recently-departed mascot with another live tiger but school officials appear unlikely to accept that idea.

Knowing the Cajuns as I do, I see them laughing at PETA even making the comments. They won't change any plans based on some lefties' opinions. Am I right, stevev?

[JDUB]

does anyone take peta seriously? everytime i hear them do something they just get laughed at

[HenryGale]

LSU should let PETA members into the tiger cage...one by one...to reason with the tiger...

[PeterParker]

Unfortunately, PETA is the one stain on the Norfolk area...most rational people oppose animal cruelty, but PETA seems bent on making the animals have dominion over man...a little outside the realm of reason to me...but I digress,

I heard the best story from a co-worker today concerning PETA. A friend of his who graduated from a local college in Hampton Roads (not Regent), went on an interview there not realizing the extent of what PETA was and showed up for the interview in snakeskin boots, fur coat, leather purse...and not purposely as a stunt, she really was trying to obtain gainful employment. As a former english major, the irony on that is first rate.

It's a huge eyesore in that area as well. The stupid painting on the side is hideous.

jdub... i'd be willing to bet you might have found this while you were "doing your economics homework" or "reading a book." is that a safe assumption? i think so.

i made an unsuccessful attempt at hitting a cat yesterday. take that PETA.

What does PETA want LSU to use? A dead Tiger?

Maybe a Liger, as long as its Faux...what would you do in that situation?

i'd say thats a safe assumption. except it was probably more online english hw than economics. economics is tonite

peta is usually on the FBI's 10 most watched organizations....one guy i know even said that most in the FBi consider them a terrorist group.

[Libertine]

LSU should just do what Towson does. Dress somebody up in a tiger suit and stick them in a cage made out of silver-painted swimming pool noodles.

[RubberMallet]

what they need to do is have a tiger roast....mmmm

[JDUB]

gotta love roast tiger... wait, wouldn't that be considered chinese food?

They only use the bones and the "nasty bits" for "remedies".

I miss the old days when Marshall University had a live buffalo vs. the mascot we have now, which is Marco: a guy dressed in a buffalo costume (I don't know if PETA influenced that decision or not).
