Governor Jeff Landry's desire to reintroduce a tiger into Tiger Stadium for LSU football games highlights ongoing discussions about animal mascots and their roles in sports culture.
Despite the excitement around the idea of bringing Mike the tiger back, LSU officials have firmly stated that Mike VII will not participate in any football games.
The decision to not allow Mike VII back into Tiger Stadium reflects changing attitudes towards animal welfare and the use of live mascots in collegiate athletics.
Senator Bill Wheat confirmed that although a tiger will indeed appear for the game, it won't be the beloved Mike, but rather an exotic Bengal from central Florida.
