PETA Slams Louisiana Governor Over Tiger Display at LSU Game
With LSU vs. Alabama always being among the biggest games of the college football season, you never know what to expect. Ahead of their matchup at Tiger Stadium earlier this season, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry brought a live tiger to the game to up the excitement. But not everyone shared that enthusiasm. Klayton Rutherford, director of captive wildlife research for PETA says that the organization considers the act, "shameful."
"It's shameful and out of touch with today's respect for wild species that LSU has bowed to Gov. Jeff Landry's campaign to display a live tiger at its football games to amuse the fans," Rutherford wrote.
"LSU rightly ended this idiotic, archaic practice nearly a decade ago after recognizing that it was cruel to subject a sensitive big cat to the noise, lights, and crowds in a football stadium.
However, amid concerns, Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham assured everyone that the Tiger is not in any danger and had a clean bill of health.
"We had numerous discussions and took every step to ensure this was safe for the tiger. I spent several hours with the tiger last night, and you could tell he was comfortable around people and enjoyed the attention," Abraham said.
"He's in great health, well cared for by his owners, and socially acclimated. As both a veterinarian and medical doctor, I couldn't think of a better day to literally and figuratively be a tiger. Geaux Tigers!"
