I dunno about GGW, but maulings happen even in places where the cats aren't expected to do tricks -- zoos, wildlife preserves, etc. I don't blame the cat (and I don't think that it should be killed, paigow) -- it was just acting like a tiger.
That being said, it may well be that Roy ain't the sharpest chunk of cheddar in the cheese drawer, but I still don't think that a guy getting grabbed in the throat and dragged off-stage by a tiger is all that funny.
And, hank, he's recovering? The last news I heard was that he was still critical, and that the doctors were saying that reports that he is "stabilizing" means that he didn't die last night. I surrender on the job losses, though. I'll continue to feel bad about them, but I'll save my FB Outrage (tm) for jokes about the guy with his throat ripped open.

WHile I find the whole story kind of sad, and definitely interesting in a grotesqye, dragged off stage by a tiger who had him by his lifted neck, kinda way, NB, I must say, your interest and keeping on top of the story is a wee bit troubling.
