Circus Tiger Bites Trainer
July 30, 2006

 A tiger attacked a trainer as circus publicity photos were being taken 
today, biting the man's head before being shot to death by the trainer's brother.
 The trainer, Richard Chipperfield, 23, was in critical condition at Bayfront 
Medical Center.
 Mr. Chipperfield was attacked while more than a dozen tigers were inside a 
ring for a Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus photo session, a police 
spokesman, Bill Doniel, said. Some witnesses said Mr. Chipperfield had put 
his head inside the tiger's mouth.
