There was that tiger guy from the Ringling Brothers Circus that got mauled up by one of his tigers a few years back. He lived somehow! Guess when you play with fire enough you are bound to get burned sooner or later. What a shame! This has really upset my wife since she loved his show so much. It burns me up that the 'good ones' always have to die so young. Ever notice that? Perhaps God took them from us because they were just too good a soul to be here any longer. I feel for his family and wish them all the warmest condolences. RIP Steve! You will not be forgotten nor will your love of animals. There truely is a great place in heaven for you!
