True. But still, when someone gets hurt (or killed) in a car crash, we don't say "Serves him right for driving a car!" I have to chalk this one up to occupational hazard, they know the risks. I don't think S&R will destory the tiger. I think they've made a statement that said they the tiger is the last thing in the world to be blamed for it. I think the Onion should do a "Sigfried and Roy destroy all their animals and vow never to perform with any animal again" type fake story, if it weren't for the fact that the guy is still in critical condition. ~Hanford
