JohnTheGreek, I am not casting any aspersions on you shooting a cheetah as I cast none on Boddington or others shooting a White Rhino. Cheetah are not endangered and if you happen to own a ranch when then are taking too many of your "stock" then I suppose they have to be shot as vermin but I cannot understand shooting one as a "trophy", they are not dangerous and can be adopted as cubs as pets and you can use them for a real sport, "chirk hawking". Google that up and have a look, personally I have a problem with any big cat shooting as they are so noble alive but so scabby in death but at least Lion and Leopard might get you, a cheetah is a bridge too far for me. just my opinion and I do not wish to offend anyone here, best, Mike
