Well, you may have a point with the circus, but in the case of S&F's white tigers, if it weren't for the work they've done to save them they would likely be extinct. All of the white tigers in the world today are in captivity. The sad reality is they have no chance of surviving in the wild, they are losing their natural habitat to land development and they are worth more dead than alive to poachers. Yes, it would be nice if they could roam free like they were able to in the past, but there's little chance of that now. They are actually THRIVING in their current condition (living in captivity actually adds about five years to their life span.) But hey, S&F's tigers live better than I do.

Siegfried (can I call him Siggy?) is on Larry King right now and he is saying what the lady who works in the show said the other night ........... the tiger kinda grabbed at Roy's arm, Roy stepped back, tripped, the tiger thinking something was wrong jumped over him, Roy gently tapped him on the nose with the mic and the tiger, trying to "save" Roy, carried him, like a mama tiger carries her cub, off stage to protect him where he immediately put him down.
