Police arrested two men for allegedly being in possession of two cheetahs illegally. One of the cats was already dead and the other in poor condition.
Two men face cruelty charges after being arrested with two cheetahs - one alive and one dead - in the North West.A cheetah that survived being hunted by two men on horseback with dogs in the North West is undergoing treatment and rehabilitation by a wildlife veterinarian after being rescued.
We are relieved that the live cheetah is on the road to recovery but it should never have been compromised in the first place. Our wildlife belongs in the wild, left to live their lives out in the way nature intended – peacefully." The NSPCA said in a statement that the two suspects were arrested on March 3 by the police's dog unit. Netwerk24 reported that the men were caught on a farm near the Botswana border.
