[edit] RIT mascot
Hi, Dstumme. Thanks for providing a reference for the information in the RIT article. However, the reference you provided says nothing at all about RIT being unable to acquire a tiger cub in the 80s due to endangered species laws. The tiger that RIT helped the Zoo acquire was immediately after Spirit's death, in the 60s. Do you have some other source that explains about some attempt in the 80s? Thanks!

- Oops. I was focusing on the fact that another cat was co-sponsored by RIT, not the issue with endangered species laws. I don't have a good reference for that one. I had already cut some other unverifiable (and some totally wrong) info from that section. I'd have no issue with removing that sentence altogether if we can't find a reference for it. It's someone else's addition that I was just doing some fact checking on anyway. I undid my addition of the reference. Thanks for the catch. Dstumme 14:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, yes. It was 209.166.32.66 (talk ยท contribs) who added the bit about the 80s and protection laws. Considering that's the only edit from that IP, ever, asking him/her about it is probably pointless. I'll revert that paragraph back to the older version. Sorry for the trouble. =) Powers T 14:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, he also had some nonsense about RIT buying one of the current cubs at the zoo, and had Spirit dying in the 1980's, instead of 1964. Those cubs were BORN at Seneca Park Zoo ~2 years ago. *lol* Dstumme 14:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
