    Huhhh??? First it was that tap of the microphone. Then it was tht the tiger was just trying to be helpful. Now Big Hair. Come on – how about taking responsibility for one’s actions? Obviously they still haven’t grown up.

    Big hair? If that was the case, then Siegfried’s hair would have scared the cat a long time ago.
    Like the idiot who was shredded and eaten by bears in Alaska (he would sing “I love you” to bears) trying to convince people they are “misunderstood” animals domestic and wild react on instinct. Even in a vet’s office a gentle animal will bite it’s owner if it feels threatened while being poked and prodded. Hitting the cat in the head with the microphone probably didn’t help. I know if I was crabby it would piss me off more.
    Somehow I think Roy understands that since he didn’t want them to kill the cat. It pisses me off that all of these “nature lovers” often get animals killed by doing things that feel threatening to an animal (snapping camera noises, singing). They are not cuddly toys. This isn’t a Disney movie.
    Sheesh.

    I dunno, I found Wynn’s account of the events to be the most convincing and detailed so far. My guess is that the woman with the big hair either had on perfume or other scented “products” that caught the big cat’s attention, and after that it was a mistake by the lady and another by Roy that led to the mauling.
    Believe me, that cat did not attack Roy or we would still be picking little Roy bits out of the cheap seats.

    Catherine,
    LOL.
    What a complete crock. Yeah, blame a woman!
    I read numerous analyses of this after the attack by animal experts and they all said that anyone who works with big cats will eventually get mauled. Every other eyewitness report mentions that Horn banged this 600 pound cat on the nose with his microphone five or six times.
    I mean, really. The lies some people say, and other people believe.

    The “source” of this cacapoo story is a friend of S&R’s. To give you an idea of how reckless these people were, the tiger was subdued with a fire extinguisher. In other words, there were no trained personnel around with tranquilizer darts, or anything. No one had a clue as to what to do if a born killing machine decided to act up.
    Stupid.

    If the tiger actually wanted to kill Roy, Roy would be dead.
    Similarly, if the tiger was really dangerous, he would have mauled other people.
    I just love people who think they know more about a situation from jumping to their own conclusions and prejudices, than someone who actually has talked to witnesses and has seen the injuries to Roy.

    That was no lady, that was Sigfried’s wife.
