Tiger trainer Proske survives with tiger trust
North Miami’s Capt. Roman Proske runs America’s only tiger farm, training tigers without guns or prods. He bears scars from twelve maulings, but believes understanding the animal and keeping calm are key. Proske says tigers plot and wait, rarely rushing, and that a single misstep can trigger a bite. He forgives the beasts and continues training, even after hospital visits.
