The topic sentence of this paragraph is

(1) Tigers should not be made to perform in stage shows. (2) Because even well-trained tigers are dangerous wild animals, they pose a serious risk to the people in the audience. (3) Should a tiger suddenly decide to go astray, leave the stage, and attack someone, it could seriously injure or even kill that person with its teeth and claws before it was brought under control again. (4) These animals are a potential danger to their handlers as well, as the public learned when the world's most famous tiger trainer, Roy Horn, was bitten onstage in Las Vegas by a tiger that had been performing for six years. (5) Horn survived the attack, but he spent weeks in the hospital in critical condition and then months in physical therapy. (6) In 2006, Horn and Siegfried, his partner, were honored with a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars. (7) Finally, tigers should not be forced to perform tricks because making them live in small cages and spend their lives entertaining humans is cruel to these beautiful wild cats. (8) Instead, they should be living free in their natural habitat.
