Louisiana governor Jeff Landry spoke out against anyone who has opposed LSU's decision to have a live tiger at its game against Alabama.
Louisiana governor Jeff Landry gave a hand in convincing LSU to bring out a live tiger for its game against Alabama this past weekend, and doubled down on his initiative after the team lost 42-13. It was intended to revive the program's tradition of having a live tiger, named 'Mike the Tiger,' appear at games.
The animal was not sedated,' he said. 'The animal was habituated. The animal did not have its ears pinned.' Louisiana's Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Madison Sheahanspoke out on the issue Monday, according to The Advocate. 'The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries regulations prohibiting the importation and possession of big exotic cats, including tigers, provide exemptions for certain entities,' Sheahan said in a statement.
