Roy Horn, of Siegfried & Roy, was grabbed by the neck and dragged offstage during a show on Friday night. He's undergone surgery and is in critical condition.

I'm sure he could use your prayers.

 

its sad to see that, i wanted to see their performance when i went to vegas in september but they were on vacation too
i hope he recovers and makes it back stronger

 

That sucks, I wonder how is "partner" is doing. It seems that he was hurt pretty bad, I can't wait to see some footage.

Damn thats some irony!

 

while I wouldn't wish what happened to him on my worst enemy (... hmmm, not exactly true...) I have never ever liked any sort of "entertainment" where wild animals are held in captivity and made to perform tricks for our amusement. it is disgusting, degrading, and depraved. and I will never buy into those arguments that it "raises awareness" of these animals and contributes to the cause of saving their wilderness areas. yeah right.

I hope he recovers, sees the light about what they have done and are doing to those magnificent creatures, and quit their line of business.

 

Said in our papers today it was the tigers first time on stage, also said they'd been doing their act for 30 years!!

 

"Mmmmm... tastes like chicken"


j/k

 

hey does anybody remember the simpsons episode from a while ago that had a very similiar attack? bit of a prophecy if you ask me.
