Roy attacked by tiger

[Valley_girl]

I heard something that really made me realize just how much S&R really care for their cats and respect them for being the wild animals that they are, all training aside. I heard that as Roy was being treated backstage and on the way to the hospital, he was repeatedly indicating (I don't know if he was speaking) that it was not the tiger's fault and was very distraught that the tiger may be blamed for the incident. He was adamant that the tiger not be held responsible.

Randi just posted his thoughts on Roy in the Roy thread in Conjorer's Corner.

Well I for one am extremely disappointed that Tony the Tiger hasn't released a press statement on this incident yet. What with Tony being the spokesperson er.. spokestiger for "Tiger Awareness".

Tigers

Well, most all organisms have their breaking point. They take a whacking most of the time and don't do anything.

I know when I play with cats, you can just play fight with them, and lightly whack them a few times, before they whack you back. Fortunately, they don't weigh 600 lbs, and have the strength.

I would watch the tiger's behavior, but I don't think it needs to be put to death. This is a wild animal taken out of its natural environment, who has probably been whacked who knows how many times, without problem.

I would be a little more careful before I whacked this tiger again though.

Roy was parading a tiger around on a leash during a show. The tiger refused to sit on command and then grabbed Roy's arm in it's mouth.

Roy panicked and started beating the tigers head with his microphone. The tiger let go of the arm, chomped Roy on the neck and dragged him off stage.

Boy, I bet that show was one to remember!

He had his throat cut wide open. What was he using, sign language?

The tiger was probably playing rough. Really, if a 500 tiger went all out on a little guy like Roy, he'd be torn in 2.

Whats better. To live a long life as a pampered show tiger or a short tigers life in the wild?
