LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- A tiger attacked magician Roy Horn of the duo "Siegfried & Roy" at his throat during a Friday night performance at The Mirage hotel-casino, authorities said.

Horn was taken to University Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition, said hospital spokeswoman Cheryl Persinger.

Firefighters were called to the hotel-casino about 8:45 p.m. and found Horn had been attacked, said Clark County Fire spokesman Bob Leinbach.

The illusionists, who put on one of the most well-known and expensive Las Vegas shows with their signature white tigers and lions, signed a lifetime contract with the Mirage in 2001.

Fishbachler, 64, and 59-year-old Horn have performed together in Las Vegas for more than 30 years. They opened at the Mirage hotel-casino in February 1990.

Finally the duo or atleast 1 of them got what they deserve for making tons of money off these poors tigers. ON the other hand hope he's aight.

i hope he develops an infection that spreads to his brain and he dies a slow and extremely painful death. taking animals from the wild for entertainment is wrong and cruel and that errogant piece of shit finally got what he deserved.

Gimme a fucking break man... you may not agree with what he does but to wish death on someone is fucking shallow.

Seriously, grow the fuck up. :finger:
