Where one man dies, another career blooms: Bay Area tiger trainer Chris Austria discovers that the media just can't get enough of killer tigers. From his release:
Chris Austria has found himself thrust into a national spotlight in the wake of an attack by an escaped Siberian Tiger at the San Francisco Zoo that left a young man dead and his two friends severely injured and under investigation for allegedly taunting the big cat into a hyper aggressive state.
Austria, a highly experienced former professional, now consulting, Tiger Trainer has found himself fielding and fulfilling offers for commentary from national news programs since the Christmas Day attack. In addition, Austria is also starting to receive television development and production consulting offers that will explore or draw from his 13-years of experience raising and training hawks, lions, tigers, pumas, Siegfried and Roy's White Lion cubs, and his other work with polar and spectacled bears, and coyotes.
The release then goes on to congratulate Austria's PR rep for finding him all of those post-tiger-attack gigs. But what will he do if another zoo-goer doesn't get mauled by an animal soon?
