Actually I think they will terminate the tiger in the end, unfortunate as that is. Roy was a superstar in our art, and I wish him a speedy recovery.

From the AP wire, author is Adam Goldman:
Quote:
Horn told the tiger to lie down. When it refused, Horn tapped the cat on the nose with a microphone to get its attention. The animal grabbed at Horn's arm, causing the entertainer to stumble. See? I guess he took for granted that this was a wild animal. Bop me in the nose with your mic I might attack too. I feel bad for him being attacked but it seems to make sense if he really bonked his nose. |

I am deeply saddened by this event. I wish Mr. Horn a speedy and full recovery. Now is not the time to second guess his handling of the animal in this situation. He has more experience with these types of animals than anyone on this forum ever will.
Nor is this the time or place to debate the ethics of using wild animals in this capacity. It is a very complex subject, and again one I am sure that Siegfried and Roy know more about than any of us. My thoughts and prayers are with him, and all of the Sarmoti family. |

Whoa, I read in the paper about this tragedy and was very shocked. They have worked with tigers for many years and tigers are like pets to them. Wonder why all of a sudden the tiger attacked Roy? Weird.

Very sad indeed but those are the risks working with any wild animal. Hopefully he recovers quickly, everyone will be pulling for him.

Quote: The official status of superstar magician Roy Horn never changed from "critical but stable" Saturday, one day after he was badly mauled by a white tiger during a performance at The Mirage.

To share my thoughts on the fate of the tiger, the chances of them "putting it down" are slim to none. You can't kill a tiger for being a tiger. Roy does not want this either. I just saw on the news, that the first thing Roy said before fainting, "He's a good cat. Please don't kill the cat."
The worst thing I believe will happen is that the tiger is moved elsewhere, perhaps to a zoo. At this early time, it is probably dumb to speculate what will happen. Time will tell all. As for the fate of "Siegfried and Roy," I heard that they have cancelled the show for good, and "let go" of all of the employees this weekend. I would love to be wrong about this, but this is what I heard on the news. ![]()

Well, that's not quite what they said. They said they were cancelling the show "indefinitely" and advising the employees to seek other work. If S&R ever perform again, it will be many, many months before they do so—people will need to find other ways to support themselves.

Barry,
Perhaps the news station I was listening to was incorrect. They informed that the show was closing for good and that all of the employees were "let go" over the weekend. I have also heard others say "indefinitely." I was just reporting what I heard. Let's hope the station I was listening to was wrong. ![]()

It is often said "after falling from a horse (bike) whatever, the best advice is to get straight back on." My advice in this case would be to "learn your lesson well." Once a tiger always a tiger. My thoughts are with all concerned.

I also heard that Roy had a stroke after the attack.
