Montecore, the Roy Horn-mauling white tiger, will remain in his home at the Mirage Hotel, and will not be disciplined for his attack on his trainer. Details at Yahoo.
Actually, I do think he got what he deserved... a cat that seriously cares about him, and was concerned when he got hurt. The two of them put a *lot* of care and attention into all of their animals... *personally* (though I believe they also have help, considering the number involved).
The fact that he was injured accidentally by that same cat in the process of it's 'helping' him was a shame, but...
And on top of that... another "deserved" is that people there at the time, as well as any officials who could have a say in the future of the tiger, have recognized the intent of the animal... in part because of the comments/pleas of Siegfried and Roy, and in part because they were *able* to recognize the truth in what they were told. There are people who are supposed to take animals' care to heart out there who *wouldn't* have listened to the reasoning behind the injury.
