No. 296 Sigfried and Roy

So, I was watching this documentary think about Roy Horn who was mauled by the tiger. Well, he says that he had a stroke because he has high blood pressure-believeable-not just all fat people get high blood pressure and the lion sensed something was wrong, so then Roy collapses and the lion doing what the lion presumes is the motherly thing carries him off by the neck. Sure, many lions have done this to their little lions, but never a human-I think the lion failed to realize that Roy was not a lion. The lion also was abandoned by its mother and Roy took care of it-so probably even cementing the fact that Roy was it's mommy. Oh dear, and I mean I did get kind of sad, more sad then the kid who died while being in the wrong place wrong time, maybe it's the fact that I never connected with him and he was mean that one time, I don't know, but seeing Roy, who of course knew the threat that large animals have had never had such a horrific accident for 37 years finally came to this...and I mean they're not mad at the lion, of course not right? It's called miscommunication and anyone dealing with large animals knows that this can occur, it is a shame and terrifyingly saddening, but what can you do right?
