Resident criticises reaction to death of man in wildlife park tiger enclosure
A local resident said online comments showed little compassion for the victim, as police urged people not to share footage of the fatal attack.
- Yorkshire Wildlife Park remained closed on Monday, October 12, following a fatal incident on Saturday, October 10, when a man was attacked by an Amur tiger inside the two-acre reserve.
- Emergency services were contacted shortly after 1:30 p.m. on October 10 when the man entered the enclosure housing Altai, an endangered Amur tiger, and pronounced him dead at the scene.
- Resident Angela Seivewright criticized the public reaction, saying she was "really bullied a lot" on social media for expressing hope for the victim's well-being, and found the overall response "really upsetting."
- Doncaster's deputy civic mayor Councillor Nick Allen urged against speculation, calling the incident "really shocking," while park staff received specialist support after being "deeply affected" by the tragedy.
- Yorkshire Wildlife Park confirmed that Altai is "safe and well" and will not be euthanized; ticketholders will be contacted within five working days with rescheduling details.
