| Am sure this "Siegfried" would say this better |

I am sure this "Siegfried" would say this better in how, no matter what anyone thought of the use of wild animals generally and tigers specifically in performing acts, he no doubt would want everyone's good energy and karma, so that his partner Roy would fully pull through the whole "tiger incident," for the last I heard the other magician, Roy Horn remains still in critical condition.................

| 2. The first thing he said |
|
was that he didn't want the tiger killed for what happened.
I wish him well, and hope he recovers.

| 8. Yeah, we'll see how they treat the tiger(s) |
|
I'm frankly more concerned with the fate of 60-some tigers than with the guys who use them as props in their glitzy Vegas show. These are powerful wild animals; and now one went and acted like a wild animal. Duh. Inevitable much? Caged and humiliated for three decades and one has a bad day and lashes out.
And the comparison between a tiger and a dog is a totally bogus one. Dogs have been domesticated for over 10,000 years. For better or worse, they're assimilated into human society and dependent on us. We can't reverse that fact, so society doesn't tolerate dogs that chew on humans.
But tigers are wild animals even when they're raised in captivity and trained. Wild animals should be left the hell alone, and not put in zoos or marine shows or Vegas acts next to 50 Elvis impersonators.
I think it was really nice of Roy Horn's colleagues to hold a candlelight vigil for him. I'd like to see such a vigil for the tigers, whose fate is now very much up in the air.
Sigfried and Roy had to know that they wouldn't go on forever. And if they didn't make provisions for the long term care of these glorious wild cats, then they're negligent as hell.
