Man takes pics of wife getting mauled by cheetah

Cheetahs are impressive. Sprinters should take notes on their posture and relaxation. Their heads never move. Why anyone would think it's a good idea to pet them is beyond me??? Their animal instinct tells them to hunt and kill. They are not domestic animals for good reason. I think it's cruel to take them from their habitat and exploit them, it was only a matter of time before their natural born instincts kicked in. Luckily for the victim these animals weren't trained hunters and killers. They got their first taste of blood now though, so it's a rap. Now go eat some cheetos.

I don't think it should be legal to pet wild animals like this. I know someone who went to pet wolves and I don't agree with that either. Doubt the animals like being touched by a succession of random people.

Cheetahs are the wimpiest of the big cats. Lion or Tiger and she wouldn't be alive to talk about it.

People tend to underestimate cheetahs. These French tourists wanted to have pick nick in a Dutch safari park. Fortunately they got away without a scratch.

But, were these animals emotionally supportive animals? Leash or no?
