Roar for live tiger mascot at Mizzou dulls

Published: Thursday, February 11, 2010 6:03 AM CST

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The brief roar for a having a live tiger mascot at University of Missouri football games has faded to a whimper.

The proposal by Missouri Students Association President Tim Noce drew widespread public criticism. He now says the proposal was “blown completely out of proportion” and is not a priority.

A student committee will instead explore whether the school could build a proper habitat for an abused or neglected tiger and have it cared for by animal science experts.

Noce has also suggested that Missouri sponsor a tiger at an existing zoo or animal sanctuary.

Both alternatives would be funded with private donations rather than public money.
