Tiger attacks kindergartner at Scotts Valley school
San Francisco-AP -- A six-year-old boy is in the hospital tonight after a tiger attacked him at a school assembly.
Authorities say the attack happened as the leashed tiger was being led out of the school's auditorium by its trainer.
They say the animal lurched over a row of seats and grabbed the boy by the head in its jaws.
A spokesman for the school -- about 60 miles south of San Francisco -- says the principal was sitting one row behind the boy and wrestled him away from the declawed animal.
The boy is hospitalized in guarded condition.
The tiger is in the custody of the company that brought it to the school.
A school official says the one-year-old animal was brought there as a reward for students who'd sold ten or more magazine subscriptions.

If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.
The sound of a 12 gauge pump clears a house fatser than Rosie O eats a Big Mac !
Good thing for the tiger no one is allowed to have firearms in school.
Felines do attack by smell signature alone, needs to be investigated.

Scotts Valley, California-AP -- A six-year-old boy, grabbed by a tiger at a California school assembly, is back home, doing fine.
A doctor calls the child a "very lucky young man." The boy was stitched up for a cut along his hairline, but was otherwise unhurt.
Police say a trainer was leading the tiger from an auditorium at Baymonte Christian School on Friday when it jumped over seats and grabbed the boy's head in its jaws.
The tiger had been brought in by the "Zoo to You Wildlife Education" company as a reward for students who'd sold magazine subscriptions. The school says about 150 kids were there.
Anita Jackson, head of animal care and training for Zoo to You, says the tiger was actually being playful and wanted to join in the kids' fun.
