A German duo of magicians has a lifetime contract in Las Vegas to perform tricks that include lions and tigers. One of them very nearly had their contract ended when a white tiger bit him on the neck (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3163574.stm) . He is expected to survive, but it was close.
You can never, never count on big cats to always be gentle. I can't speak for Siegfried and Roy, but there have been many reports of circus animals treated inhumanely to perform.
Why I know of a six-pound white "tiger" that can be more than I can handle :D
