Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 119,016 views a day, 17 times a normal first day on this channel (6,941).

In a statement, Yorkshire Wildlife Park said the tiger will not be put to sleep.

A man died after climbing down from a walkway into a tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster on Saturday, ITV News reports. Emergency services were called to the South Yorkshire attraction that afternoon.

The park said in a statement on Sunday that the tiger would not be put to sleep. The attraction remains closed, making the decision about the animal the central development in ITV News's follow-up to the fatal attack.

The brief update reached about 78,000 views in its first 11 hours, already far beyond the roughly 7,000 a regular ITV News Short attracts over a full first day. Discussion beneath the report centers on the park's decision and the distinction between an animal escaping its enclosure and a person entering it.
