It's a tragedy and I certaily hope he recovers. But, not to sound cruel, it's sort of like the rest of the headlines you see: Race Car Driver Dies In Crash, SkyDiver Loses Chute, Trapeze Artist Injured in Fall, Fire Eater Burns Tongue...

It is one of those things that really just shouldn't shock us too much.

I know S&R did much for animals and certainly treated their own very very well. It confuses me, though, that they bred their animals for captivity. While they treated them very well, it just seems strange that they did very little in terms of helping the wild population of white tigers or tigers in general.

The tiger is a wild animal no matter how you see it. It did what instinct told it to do. I'm wondering if it got some kind of electric shock by the microphone by accident. Or maybe it just got friggin tired of being a sideshow and got pissed off.
