I don't understand what you are talking about. It hasn't been proven that the
tiger attacked Royl--Siegfried, who was in fact there at the time, stated
that's not what happened.

Actually, if Siegfried's version is accurate, the tiger did behave in a
predictable manner. When Roy fainted the tiger attempted to carry him to
safety, going offstage and returning to sit in his cage, just as he has been
trained to do. The tiger did not suddenly lunge out into the crowd, or run off
backstage, or snap at one of the other handlers--those actions would have been
out of character and unpredictable, but in fact he behaved as expected.
