Cheetah attack-Kragga Kamma
 
When will people ever learn ! Its happened before,it'll happen again,as long as we have stupid people doing stupid things for photo ops.Its time and again said that keeping a respectable distance is the best way to enjoy wildlife.Here's to prove that there is no such thing as 'tame' wild animals.

Couldn't agree with you more. Maybe those who disregard the ethical issues related to petting, walking with or mugging with big cats will not ignore the risks to their own safety. One can only hope.

I love the way the husband just took photos!
But surely it should have been a better controlled situation?

Yes, couldn't stop laughing at the husband taking photos, wondered what mine would've done...

But seriously, people forget that even in a "petting zoo" the animals are still wild, not to be confused with the pets we have at home.
