A years-old video of lions strolling between cars was captured at a safari park in the English town of Prescot. It does not show animals released by protesters in Paris following the fatal police shooting of a teenager of north African descent on June 27. A tweet linking a video of lions to the protests in France has garnered at least 1,100 retweets (archive.fo/5Y12j). Knowsley Safari Park said in an email that the clip in question shows its premises. This clip has been online since at least 2020 and was recorded at Knowsley Safari Park in England.
