RT: "Circus workers say that the lion does not understand what he has done and is looking forward to his trainer’s arrival, TCH.ua reports." Does this sentence make any logical sense ??? How would the workers know what the lion's thoughts are? Wild animal trainers are arrogant enough to play God with these natural born killers, and should not be surprised that lions and tigers eventually try to kill them. A white Bengal tiger attack Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy during a Las Vegas performance in 2003. The tiger put a death grip on Roy's neck and tore out his throat. This white tiger had been raised by Roy and he had complete confidence in the tiger; however, at the moment that Roy slipped on the stage, the tiger's killer instincts took over. Lucky that the tiger did not jump into the audience since there were no barriers. The lesson to all is that man must not be so arrogant as to believe he can change the natural killer instincts of large wild cats. These large cats are best left alone in their natural habitat. If these "trainers" want to play with cats, they should limit themselves to domestic cats.
