I personally think PETA is wrong on this one. Only in the fact that if Flash cannot survive in the wild, why condemn him to death. If KSU and this non-profit are using Flash to promote conservation, great for them. I personally wish that we had Flash there when I was at school just for the spirit that a live mascot brings in.

I support PETA on this 100%! There is no need to use a live mascot such as an eagle which deserves to live free, not in a cage waiting to be displayed before every game infront of thousands of chaotic fans who may really scare the eagle.

Eagles which are used to living in a quit and natural envirnment deserve better than this.

Free the eagle!
