I believe Roy himself, before he passed out, indicated concern for the tiger's fate--didn't want him to blamed for it. So I think Monte is safe, as he should be.

USDA investigates
CNN learned Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has launched an investigation of the show for violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act.
The act requires that during public exhibition an animal must be handled in such a way that there is minimal risk of harm to both the animal and the public, a USDA spokesman said.
There must also be "sufficient distance and/or barriers between animal and audience," the spokesman said.
In the Siegfried & Roy show, the audience sat close to the stage with no barriers.
Agriculture inspectors would not say specifically what they are investigating, but public officials in Las Vegas are considering whether there should be new regulations.
