When Tigers Attack

Oh no!! Mere days after I visited the Mirage, it turns out that Roy of Siegfried and Roy has just been attacked by one of his white tigers onstage! It was apparently this tiger’s first appearance…

I’ve never seen their show, but they are obviously one of the Las Vegas legends. I hope that he is able to pull through OK—it must have been a horrific experience. Imagine being in the audience, and everyone thought it was part of the act!

Sad…

They made that up about it being the tiger’s first appearance to calm the audience. It was actually a veteran of the show for 7 years. They’ve done over 5,000 showings…. I guess it’s inevitable that something unusual happens in so many trials. Kitty just wanted to play!

Yea I see they’ve since updated the CNN article and have removed that comment about it being the first performance. I guess Kitty really was tired of doing the act and wanted to play. Scary!
