wow... I never got to see his show (not that I'm into Vegas all that much)... hope he makes it

Ack! That sucks.

And, you know that some schmuck is going to put the footage of this on the net in about 4 minutes, too.

Yeah, this is a bummer. But it reinforces the point that these animals are not pets. I can't count how many people I've seen at Cat Tales who want to have one of these as a pet. Sigfried and Roy are arguably the best animal handlers in the world and this just shows there's no guarantees. I hopes he gets well soon!

God, I hope he pulls through. I saw this show many many years ago and got to pull the tiger's tail as part of the show - - Alan, you are absolutely right about the fact tigers are wild animals and shouldn't be kept as pets, tho I have always dreamed of having one when I was a kidlet. Same goes for wolves....ah so pretty!!! I'm not gonna lie, I want to see the footage if someone knows where it might be posted, lemme know!

I saw their show a couple of years back, my mum took me and my wife to see 'em, and they were excellent. Here's wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery, Roy.

I'm still looking for footage of the guys head exploding from that bomb incident a few months ago.

 

[xSamhainx]

Well, thats what he gets! *snarls!*

First off.. I really hope he gets better and recovers. They are known for being wonderful to their animals.

2ndly: Alan.. looks like you're one of the lucky 1000 who bought that QueensRyche boxset eh? I seem to recognize that T-Shirt.hehe

Had to think which box set. Yes I actually do have that one, sealed. That was just one of the sweatshirts I got from the band.

I like this shirt better

Anyone seen any of this forbidden footage yet? There were some people dressed as Roy last night at the Boo Ball complete with bloody white tiger attached.
