Oops again

LAS VEGAS — A tiger attacked magician Roy Horn of the duo "Siegfried & Roy" (search) during a Friday night performance at The Mirage hotel-casino, authorities said.

Roy was attacked at the throat, said Clark County (search) Fire spokesman Bob Leinbach. He was taken to University Medical Center; Leinbach did not know his condition.

The illusionists, who put on one of the most well-known and expensive Las Vegas shows with their signature white tigers and lions, signed a lifetime contract with the Mirage in 2001.

Fishbachler, 61, and 56-year-old Roy Uwe Ludwig Horn have performed together in Las Vegas (search) for more than 30 years. They opened at the Mirage hotel-casino in February 1990.

Critical condition.

"The tiger went for his neck, then drug him offstage," he said. "He looked like a rag doll."

Never trust a tigerno matter how well trained it is... I hope he recovers.

Seen this on Aol this morning-just like you said Aunty Em -can't trust any animal,trained or not.

maybe the tiger was just annoyed he wasn't getting a bigger cut of the revenue

It was a woman with big hair that caused the tiger to lose his/her mind
