I read that Michon was critically injured by the Cuneo white tigers when the act was first being formed. Can someone provide more history of this event?

Roger,
Horst Merkel was critically injured, sitting on a tiger. Michon was the one feeding the tiger meat. He was not injured. They never finished forming it.
