Oh dear those who are to save these most vulnerable of cats have killed one! Time for humans to make reserves fo r these animals then leave them alone using modern technology to watch them.

They should have never been making a show about these cheetah's in the first place. If they had not been then she would still be alive. I blame all this on greed the all mighty dollar. Another species gone and a year later there still making money off of her. slackers!!!! thank you Chrissy N. noted
