Actress Melanie Griffith is not happy that her mother, Birds star Tippi Hedren, lives in a cottage where on the surrounding grounds live 60 exotic large cats such as leopards, lions and tigers.

Animal experts have said the mauling of Siegfried & Roy illusionist Roy Horn by a 42-stone tiger was no accident, claiming the animal was going for the jugular.

ROY HORN, one half of American illusionist team Siegfried and Roy, was on a ventilator, heavily medicated but able to respond to voices and touch after being attacked by one of his tigers during a show.
