Carole Baskin Of ‘Tiger King’ Blasts Jeff Landry For Bringing Live Tiger To Tiger Stadium

by Staff Reporter

Just when you thought the story of Omar The Tiger was coming to an end, Carole Baskin from the 'Tiger King' documentary on Netflix entered the conversation on Monday.

Baskin, the CEO of Big Cat Rescue, a non-profit animal sanctuary in Tampa, Fla., spoke with TMZ and slammed Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry for bringing a live Tiger from Florida to Tiger Stadium for the Alabama game last Saturday.

quote:
Landry then resorted to bringing a tiger from Florida ... which irked Baskin for several reasons.

"Bringing a live tiger to a football game is quite possibly a violation of the federal Lacey Act and Louisiana's own dangerous animal laws, and it also sends the wrong message to students about respect for wildlife," the "Tiger King" star said. "Trucking a wild animal all the way from central Florida for a spectacle is a blatant disregard for the tiger's well-being and reinforces the dangerous idea that nature exists solely for our entertainment."

"The questions that you and the public should be asking are if the office of Governor Jeff Landry, the Tiger Athletic Fund, or the LSU Police Department spent taxpayer money or failed in acquiring the necessary permits just to satisfy the governor's desire to see a tiger in the stadium, since Mike the Tiger (their campus mascot) hates going to the games," Baskin added.

Cattle were once wild animals too. Tigerburger anyone? Hmmm...

Why does Kirk Herbstreit not receive any grief for bring his mutt into a stadium, Georgia's bulldog, or Bevo the Longhorn bull?

People have dominion over animals. That tiger is fine and probably wanted to get out and chase a few football players just for fun!!

It's on, now!!

The coolest thing of all is that that poor tiger head to watch that abysmal game.

Cruelest definitely not coolest.

I find all of this interesting. When PETA started their bullshite and was ultimately the cause for mike no longer coming to the stadium, everyone, universally, was angry over that. Many stats were brought up, like he only got in the cage if he wanted to. Longevity of mike, and the care he received. 9 years go by and EVERYONE is on PETA's side. Quite the turn in less than a decade.

Pussification of America.

Coincides with the overton shift to the far left we've seen in the overall culture what with the censorship, dei, and and critical race policies etc.. ppl are scared to have an opinion anymore so they side with the only one they see accepted by the establishment.

Blutarsky•6 months

Mike VI stopped entering the field cage by himself the last few years and didn’t appear in TS every game before his death.

They tricked him a few times but he eventually wised up.

Tigers or wild animals don't belong at football games. It is just stupid.

What's so inhumane about bringing the tiger out in front of people though? How's that any different than the circus? Nobody was beating or mistreating the tiger.

saintslsupels•6 months

Bruh are you really calling a circus humane?

HurricaneCamille•6 months

How do you feel about slavery?

DownSouthCrawfish•6 months

Hey guess what. Circuses get hate too and have for years. Decades even.

I mean Landry is dumb and cursed LSU but frick that murdering bitch

All of these tiger experts in here chiming out with their approval because she says the things that they like.

Omar looked like he tolerated his time in the stadium just fine. I saw no hint of distress whatsoever. Much like the idiot writer who started all of this nonsense with an article about distressing Mike, now Carol Baskin is getting her 15 minutes talking about how Mike and Omar are somehow harmed by this, despite no evidence that she’s even met Mike or Omar, been to Tiger Stadium herself, or has any real clue about whether or not either Tiger actually suffered by this tradition.

Again…this is just desperate people looking for clicks at the expense of LSU, a school whose traditions they care nothing about. Can anyone show me any evidence whatsoever that Omar actually is worse for the wear now?

Blutarsky•6 months

I think they sedated him a bit.

Can’t zoos and sanctuaries be considered a “spectacle”

Davy•6 months

It's embarrassing how trashy we look. Repeated STTB on Gameday, trash thrown on field, now we're woven into the Tiger King storyline.

HurricaneCamille•6 months

I agree. The governor and LSU students helped Louisiana live up to its trashy stereotype. And only the simpletons among us will disagree.

"Deaf," your neck is red, and your white sheet is ready at the cleaners.

If you don’t like LSU then F YOUUUU B@&$!.
She ain’t no expert. Needs to do her research.
And Mike loved going to the games! She sounds like she watches the fake news media all day everyday.
Trump needs to deport her arse.

When the husband murdering Carol Baskin is “the voice of reason”, you know Landry f’d this situation up beyond recognition!

Carole Baskin , We don't care what you think , Netheir does Omar The Tiger

Cwils2222•6 months

Of course we don’t care what she thinks, but most of us agree that it was stupid and this is more entertaining than most of the shite Staff Reporter or Larry writes.

Basura Blanco•6 months

frick Jeff Landry for making Carole Baskin come across as sensible

Mike da Tigah•6 months

Carole, LSU’s been handling live tigers and bringing them on the field for longer than you’ve actually been alive on planet earth and eventually decided to start making documentaries about tigers. Just a little perspective for you to chew on, and attention you needed as our respected authority on tigers.

TDFreak•6 months

Straight from Mike himself!
