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.

Wish I could have afforded that many staff!
The bloke with the feeding fork and his hand so close to the feed flap would have got a kick in the tail here not too many years ago.
Steve - These people are family and friends that help Christian Walliser, the trainer who recently got hurt, set up the cages and tend to the tigers. It's nice that he has a family and friends that are not afraid to work.
I do agree with you on the guy feeding the tiger. Looks scary but then again from the angel the picture was taken it could be a bit of an optical illusion (looking closer then it is.)

Mr Vohringer - Mr Walliser is a fortunate man to have the good support of family and friends at this time. Although we have never met and are unlikely to do so, please let him know that he has the good wishes of us here on the other side of the world for a full and speedy recovery and a quick return to the ring.
You are probably right about the photo angle of the bloke with the feeding fork. I know that some of us get a bit complacent sometimes and do things that we know that we can do safely although it looks worse to people watching. Here at my small zoo I often have to say to my keepers -"Do what I say, not what I do"!
