Did any of you watch the 20/20 special they aired about Sigfriend and Roy?

I started this discussion because one of my friends started a discussion regarding having wild animals as pets and what can happen when they go wild. I watched the special on Sigfried and Roy last night that 20/20 did who else saw the special? For those of you who do not know Sigfried and Roy are couple of men who have been doing magic together for 45 years. They met on a cruise ship and have been an act together ever since. They started doing their act with cheetahs that Roy had as pets when they met on the cruise ship. They are based out of Las Veges and the famous Treasure Island Hotel was build to hold their act. I knew their act was based out of the Treasure Island Hotel but I did not know it was build for them to preform their act for all times. Five years ago Roy had some kind of an accident with one of this tigers, did the tiger attack him or did he have a stroke and the tiger try to drag him off stage to protect him no one knows. It ended a great career for the two performers. I watched the special because I wanted to know how the two men are doing now. I have been a fan of them and love what they have done for the breed of white tiger. Years ago I was in Vegas and had the time to see their show but we did not have the money to buy the tickets. They where $75 a ticket, If my husband would have said “honey you go by your self and see the show” I think I would have. I kept going back to the viewing area of the white tigers and watching them. What touched me the most was when they where talking about Sigfried and the things he went though after his partner had his strokes. I know how hard it is to have a loved one go through something like that. My hubby had a stroke 5 years ago and I had such traumatic stress disorder from the whole thing. I still had to work, I still had to hold the family together, I still had to carry the load. I am still handling the whole load when it comes to making all the decisions for the household. I am doing more than I ever had to do before the stroke. Now five years after the end of the two men's careers they put on one 10 minute show with great difficulty to Roy. Roy's disabilities are extensive and he cannot hardly walk nor does he talk well. He did a great 10 minute show because of his disabilities and you can tell he gave all that he could give for that show. The show was a goodbye to preforming and most importantly it was to raise money for a brain hospital that is being build in Vegas. My questions are: Do you like Sigfried and Roy? Did you watch the show last night on 20/20.
