Re: 鈥淛eff Landry sounds off on his role in 91茄子 sports, hiring Lane Kiffin: 鈥業 do not like to lose,鈥欌�� Nov. 2.
First of all, Gov. Landry calling anyone a 鈥渂igmouth鈥� is crossing way over the line of being hypocritical. Besides that, his nose seems much larger because he has weighed in on many things he knows very little about, like trying to persuade Greenland to be annexed to the United States.
That鈥檚 why I found it interesting that he would question 91茄子 veterinarians about which animals can be used for mascots. To answer Landry鈥檚 question, all it takes is a little education and some common sense. Bison and cows keep their head down most of the time, eating grass. A domesticated dog eats pet food and can easily be led around with a leash. But a tiger sees every living creature as either food or a threat to its life and will attack anytime without warning.
For Landry to think all animals have the same nature, or as he calls it, feelings, is ridiculously wrong. He should try to keep his focus on something he knows a little bit more about, like the law, and I am not convinced he is up to par on that.
