NBC-6; "Nevada Senator Harry Reid says his delegation will do everything it can "to protect Siegfried and Roy." Reid is in the middle of a dispute between the Agriculture Department and a video production company that has footage of a tiger mauling entertainer Roy Horn. The department has subpoenaed the producers for the attack footage, as part of an investigation into whether Siegfried and Roy violated animal welfare laws. Reid takes exception to that -- saying he defies anyone to say the Vegas act didn't treat the animals -- quote -- "better than most people treat their children." Feld Entertainment has been refusing to hand over the footage, saying it doesn't want kids to see any gruesome images. The company says it has offered to let investigator see the tape -- but not have it."
I agree that the film should not be open to the public, But I feel as much as the next person. All wild animals are dangureus, even a house-pet can turn on you at the wrong time. So when someone works with a animal in a public setting it is hard to predict if some is going to happen? Because something could happen at the least time expected and for no reason, with any animal. I feel instead of trying to waste a lot of money on this past issue the-agriculture Deptment should focus on how to prevent this from happening again.....
