OK, what would you have done if you had a tiger latched on to your arm? In the past, a thump on the nose had been the tiger's signal to stop. He just happened to be holding a microphone which made a startling noise at the time. Bad idea? Yes. But I don't think any of us can say for sure that we would have done any better in that situation. Roy does care about the welfare of his tigers, and doesn't just go around whacking them for no reason.
