Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn debut new cubs
Posted on June 13th, 2008 by Hot Momma
The illusionist team of Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn, have decided to adopt to add to their family and keep Roy Horn engaged in activity.
The famed illusionists brought home five new tiger cubs to their exotic habitat on the Las Vegas Strip on Thursday, a move Fischbacher said would be therapeutic for Roy Horn, who was critically injured when he was mauled by a 380-pound white Bengal tiger onstage in 2003. Fischbacher said:
“That gives him a reason to get up in the morning.”
During the little press conference, Horn did not answer questions from reporters but played with the small tigers, and holding them for the cameras. The playful, 15-pound, 6-week old cubs were brought to Las Vegas three weeks ago to be part of the longtime duo’s animal breeding program. They didn’t say how the cubs were obtained, which I hope was ethically done!
Of the 5 cube, two are all white females, two are white striped females and there is one golden male tiger. The cubs were to be taken to a nursery for public display at the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage hotel-casino. The exhibit houses lions, tigers, leopards and a black panther.
“Our life is a purpose,” Fischbacher said. “Our purpose is to keep them from extinction.”
Today is also Siegfried Fischbacher’s 69th birthday!
