It's animal endangerment also, when this cat walks up to a human, it will be shot. That is if it doesn't attack one of the kids first. It is and always will be a wild animal, my domestic cats bite me, and sometimes scratch, fortunately they are small

They have been pairing cheetah cubs with puppies for a while now. The reason is because naturally cheetahs are skittish the dogs calm them down and they learn to rely on each other. The dog gives the cheetah enough confidence to keep it from over stressing allowing for a longer life. It's a great use for those pound puppies that are unlikely to find homes.

That just shows proof that animals do have brains and how they love anyone and animals unconditionally. This world would be a much better place if we did the same.

Animals are much better than people at making friends,they do not have religious or political beliefs.
