Carole Baskin, a prominent figure from the Netflix series “Tiger King,” expressed concern over the recent fatal mauling at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Britain, where a man died after entering a tiger enclosure. Baskin emphasized that the tiger was acting naturally and should not be blamed for its instinctive behavior. She called for reflection on how humans interact with wild animals and stressed the importance of protecting big cats in their natural habitats rather than in captivity.

Story summary
On Saturday, October 10th, an incident occurred at the tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster, where a man entered the enclosure and was attacked by one of the tigers. The attack resulted in serious injuries; later reports confirmed the victim's death despite medical efforts. Emergency services were immediately dispatched, including two land ambulances, an air ambulance, and a doctor. South Yorkshire Police stated that they received a report at 13:35 BST about a man entering the tiger enclosure.
The park closed for the weekend following the incident, with authorities investigating the circumstances surrounding the event. Videos circulating online showed the attack, depicting the victim being pawed at by the tiger named Altai. The animal remained uninjured and inside its enclosure afterward, posing no danger to the public. Carole Baskin of "Tiger King" fame expressed her sympathy for the victim's family while advocating that the tiger should not face punitive actions since it was merely behaving as a wild predator would.
The park, which opened in 2009, houses the endangered Amur tigers in a purpose-built two-acre reserve with a 300-meter raised walkway allowing visitors to observe the animals closely and safely from above.
