PETA Roars Over Roy Incident
Fax to Horn's hospital room warns against using exotic animals in act

October 7, 2003

As Roy Horn, of Siegfried & Roy, continues to recover from injuries sustained in a tiger attack on Friday night, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals faxed a letter yesterday to Horn's hospital room expressing the group's hope that he make a full recovery but urged the duo to retire their animals and build a sanctuary.

"Perhaps Friday's frightening incident will make you realize that a brightly lit stage with pounding music and a screaming audience is not the natural habitat for tigers, lions, or any other exotic animals," PETA Vice President Dan Mathews wrote.

"The only natural thing that happened on that stage was that this majestic animal lashed out against a captor who was beating him with a microphone because he wouldn't do a trick," Mathews continued. "No matter how much you say that you love the wild animals whom you have confined continents away from their natural homes, you are still the men who have subjugated their wills and natures to further your own careers."

Horn, 59, suffered a severe wound to his neck when the 7-year-old male named Montecore attacked in front of hundreds of people.

The attack began after Horn tapped the tiger on the nose with a microphone after the tiger ignored a command to lie down.

MGM Mirage Resort chief executive Bobby Baldwin said Horn's prognosis had improved. Doctors told Baldwin that Horn, who was in critical condition, could move his hands and feet and also gave a thumbs-up sign. Horn remained in critical but stable condition yesterday, the hospital said.

With the co-headliner's future uncertain, MGM Mirage officials told the show's 267 employees Saturday night to look for new employment.

MGM Mirage officials said the show was "closed indefinitely." They added that even if Horn recovers, it's unclear whether he would ever be able to perform again in the rigorous show.

Fuck PETA. I hate Sigfried & Roy but every time PETA performs a publicity stunt like this it makes me want to club baby seals, and burn rain forests all while wearing a fur coat and lambskin boots with hair gel tested on bunnies.
