Demonstrating the spirit that has made the business of using and abusing animals in circuses the very definition of heartlessness, Marcan blamed everyone but his own whiny self. He called the injured drivers "reckless" and slammed the NYPD officers on the scene, saying "they just wanted to shoot the tiger."
Unfortunately, there was no happy ending for the tiger, Apollo, who was captured and returned to circus life.

Well, at least the tiger isn't dead.

unfortunatly, this tiger probably doesn't even know how to survive on it's own. Had he happened to escape forever, what would his life become? Also, had he attacked any person romaing around, this innocent tiger most likely would have been put down. In no way am I saying his circus life is much better. I just think the tigers situnation is horrible all around. He is in a no win situation.

When will we learn that wild animals do not belong in city environments. I hope to bring this message home clearly when Ringling rolls into Orlando this week.

I get so upset whenever I hear the word circus, I don't even know where to start. This poor tiger should be in a sanctuary, every circus should be closed and every trainer should suffer.... I'll stop... only in a perfect world, right?

I disagree with the folks who have said that essentially, the tiger "at least wasn't killed" or people saying that if it truly escaped for good, it couldn't have survived. The point is, I believe the tiger would have been better off it it had been killed quickly- at least it wouldn't be enduring daily torture at the circus.
