Tiger Goes For Vegas Magician's Throat
A WORLD-famous magician is in a critical condition after a tiger attacked him during a performance in Las Vegas.
An audience member said Roy Horn, 59, tried to beat off the animal with a microphone as it attacked him on stage at the Mirage hotel-casino.
Mr Horn, part of the Siegfried & Roy act, is known for using tigers but had earlier told the audience the animal that attacked him was making hits debut.
imo good

There's the reason you shouldn't use wild animals as pets/stage show props...
People don't seem to understand you simply cannot tame animals like that. Even if you manage to get them to not attack people most of the time, they're still liable to kill you if you tread on their tail or annoy them.

"..the tiger is facing death penalty, if Mr Horn should die. It is looking at 25 years in jail as it is."
