JUST A MAN AND HIS WILL TO SURVIVE: Pouncing on a media opportunity as voraciously as a wild tiger sensing blood, and with the delicate touch of a four-month-old sampling rice cereal for the first time (trust me on this one), PETA has sent a public letter to Siegfried and Roy.

It reads, in part:
Perhaps Friday’s frightening incident will make you realize that a brightly lit stage with pounding music and a screaming audience is not the natural habitat for tigers, lions, or any other exotic animals. The only natural thing that happened on that stage was that this majestic animal lashed out against a captor who was beating him with a microphone because he wouldn’t do a trick.

You've got to hand it to PETA. If they had been around in 1925, they'd have complained about the use of Alaskan sled dogs to deliver diptheria serum to save a bunch of dying Inuit kids.
