Donald Trump has shared video footage online of a British man being fatally attacked by a tiger at a wildlife park. The US president posted the short clip to his 13 million Truth Social followers, along with a signed message: "Don’t ever mess with nature!"
The footage showed the animal biting and clawing the victim as he sat in the enclosure, but not him being killed. Mr Trump followed this up a short time later with a separate post featuring a video montage that appeared to show a series of other people being mauled by lions accompanied by an upbeat soundtrack.
Incident at Yorkshire Wildlife Park
A health and safety investigation has been launched into the incident at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster, where a man named in reports as William Chapman was killed after entering the tiger enclosure on Saturday. Emergency services were contacted shortly after 1.30pm on October 10 when Mr Chapman, who police said was visiting the park alone, entered the enclosure. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Park remains closed
The park will remain closed on Wednesday for a fifth day following the attack.
