@globalmuseum Partly correct. Yes to the Cheetah Experience, no to the forest ranger. The man had been a volunteer at the centre, the cheetahs were captive bred, used to close contact with humans.

@globalmuseum

Looks like the caption is misleading.

"this video was shot at the Cheetah Experience, an endangered animal breeding centre in Bloemfontein, South Africa"

and

"captive-bred animals that are already used to close contact with humans"

Yeah, that'd be terrible! It'd probably go something like this.

@globalmuseum they can be our little brothers, or we can kill them for their fur. 😥
