While people have been enjoying the flights of Tiger the eagle for years, many have wondered why Auburn does not have a live tiger mascot. As part of its pact with the World Wildlife Fund, Auburn University has pledged not to keep a live tiger mascot. Clemson University and The University of Missouri have also joined the agreement.

In an effort to protect the endangered tiger species, the three schools are competing against each other to raise $75,000 to "help end the illegal tiger trade in China and the Eastern Himalayas."

An article was released today praising the schools for their efforts and condemning LSU and the University of Memphis for owning live tiger mascots. Both schools have been under pressure from PETA and Big Cat Rescue because of their mascots.
