"Roy" got bit. Critical condition. Anyone care? Knowing that the typical "tiger tamers" chair and whip are each loaded with a 50 k volt taser device? Not me. Go tiger! Eat his sorry *ss! Just my opinion. I hate left wing bleeders who torture animals. (Accidental pun, but appropriate)

Unfortunately, there are few natural environments in the world safe for tigers.

<edit> sorry about the "left wing" thing. They (sigfried and Roy) are spokesmen for all sorts of "causes" in the intermountain area here. None of them right wing, let us say. That is really beside the point in the context of the tigers revenge. Let's just say "Silly Entertainer" instead of the implied political wing.

The kind of torture animals such as this tiger endure is unconscionable. We can all have a part in stopping it or supporting it. If we don't attend these shows they won't continue. If we speak out for those who cannot we will give them a voice. If we buy tickets we sanction the torture. If we stay silent their pain will not be heard. Let us do what we all know in our hearts is right.

Originally posted by StarValleyWyI agree - it is senseless. It was first I heard of the use of electricity though... 😠 Isn't that illegal? If it isn't then it surely should be. Seems like the tiger exacted some measure of jungle justice.

Curious to hear from T1000 on this one, given his avatar. I also agree.
Up Tigers!
Seriously though, reading the news stories etc on this just leaves me feeling a bit down - something's not right somewhere 🙁

Have any of you guys ever heard of these artists before ?
The news travelled around the world !
I want to see the wounds ... I want to see the video's of the "accident" ... nothing so far !
Maybe a publicity stunt ...
If it is, there will be a follow up soon !
