US President Donald Trump posted an AI video of himself wrestling with a tiger and then playing with it, days after it killed a man at a zoo in the United Kingdom.
The incident has since received criticism on social media, with people calling the 80-year-old “mentally unwell” and “disrespectful”.
The Yorkshire Wildlife Park will remain closed for the fifth day on Saturday. The video, created with artificial intelligence, is an apparent reference to the horrific incident in which an Amur tiger at the Yorkshire National Park mauled child actor William Chapman to death after he jumped into its enclosure. Chapman, who starred in a BBC documentary as a child, died of his injuries following Saturday’s incident.
Footage of that incident had gone viral on social media – so much so that police had to urge people not to post it, given the sensitive nature of the clip.
The incident has since received criticism on social media, with people calling the 80-year-old “mentally unwell” and “disrespectful”. “As a Brit I find this sickening and hugely disrespectful to a grieving family,” one person commented.
