Family on Tiger Mauling Video Trump Shared: Please Stop

A grieving British family says their pain is being amplified online—and they're calling for it to stop. Relatives of 23-year-old William Chapman, killed by a tiger after entering an enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park on Saturday, condemned circulating footage of the attack as "deeply offensive" and "causing severe distress," reports the Guardian. Among those who shared video of the incident: President Trump, who posted a clip to 13 million followers on Truth Social with the caption, "Don't ever mess with nature! President DJT."

Trump later shared an AI video of himself play-fighting and hugging a tiger, set to "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," which wildlife campaigner Will Travers labeled "incredibly insensitive" and dangerous. At the opening of the inquest into Chapman's death, coroner Nicola Mundy cited his history of mental illness, schizophrenia and previous psychotic episodes, reports the BBC. Chapman's family urged people to stop sharing the images and to respect the inquest.
