I just watched the TV show Nature that talked about cheetahs. I was so touched over Sambu's death and Toki's life changes I cried often and was elated other times. Although I cannot afford to give money, I gladly donate any time I can to help rehabilitate wild animals here in California, USA where I live. If I ever have a chance, I'd gladly work with a cheetah. For now, I live with my three rescued animals, all victims of human abuse. I hope there are more and more people who care about the cheetahs and all wildlife as time goes on.

Por medio de su programa tan interesante de TOQUI, que enrealidad no nada mas aprendi de la vida de Cheetahs sino tambien de culturas diferentes.Para mi es imposible yeguar a esos lugares que es unos de mis suenos, sin embargo con su programa me hizo viajar por un momento hacia a los lugares de los hechos. Que Dios lo bendiga y cuide por su GRAND trabajo y AMOR hacia a estos animales. GOD BLESSS YOU! Apesar que no entiendo 100% Ingles, le entendi TODO.

These beautiful cubs would surely not have survived on their own. What a tragedy for their beautiful mother and Sambu himself. I hope all people that hear about Simon's work with these cubs is inspired to help animals in their area and consider wildlife as well as a true gift. Thank you Simon for your wonderful work with your loyal support from Stephen. Please do not stop helping Toki.

It reminds me of the panther conservation programs in California (near suburbs), India (near cities and villages), and to a lesser extent, in Florida. We really don't have much choice than to take a proactive approach and learn how to improve species protection without diminishing quality of life or genetic diversity and heartiness.

I hate watching animal programs because they are often so sad, and it makes me more frustrated about how self-absorbed we humans can be. This gave back some of my faith in people. There are those out there who do for innocent beings! Yay, Simon and Stephen and others! what a fantastic story.
