that was great footage…and showing the blood was great…it shows the seriousness of damage of what these animals will and can do…they’re not meant to be pets…being raised overseas where they really don’t edit things out is more realistic, i wished America would get out of its bubble and would do the same…Great Job on your study…keep it up…my family and i are learning a lot from what you do…Take Care and God Bless…

Well it serves them right, they are the big creatures walking up-right and those cats dont know them and put them in the catagory “potentionally harmful”. The scratches weren’t that bad but hey, cheetahs are bigger than house cats…
