Family asks public to stop sharing video of fatal Yorkshire tiger attack
Relatives of a man killed at Yorkshire Wildlife Park urged people to stop circulating footage after Donald Trump posted the video.
The family of a man killed in a tiger attack at Yorkshire Wildlife Park has appealed for footage of the incident to stop circulating online, according to Sky News and other British reporting.
The appeal followed the publication of video of the fatal attack by US President Donald Trump on social media. Family members said continued sharing of the images caused them distress.
The man died after entering a tiger enclosure at the wildlife park in northern England. The park had previously said the animal involved would not be put down as a consequence of the incident.
The latest reports concern the public circulation of footage and the family's response, rather than a new attack or casualty. They did not establish any legal restrictions on sharing the recording.
The family requested that members of the public respect their privacy. The available reports did not establish whether social-media platforms had removed all copies of the video.
