A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

This is Siegfried Wiesner.
Rob.
Siegfried Wiesner. He had a mixed group of male lions and tigers amongst other acts. His father was also a very good trainer. I saw this act once.

The picture on your blog; guy neck carry male tiger is Siegfried Wisner.
He worked his own animals: 3 male lions and 3 male tigers in 60's and 70's.
I was in Frankfurter ZOO at that time and he was a friend.
About 1965 when lions and tigers picked up the fight,he continued to
work only 3 tigers; they where super tame.

Thomas and Rob,
Thank you for the good information. He sure didn't stay on a show very long, and seem's to have changed/moved every couple of years.
