Cincinnati Zoo:

Rather astounding.

A. Cheetah is not properly restrained, for its protection.

B. What would OSHA say about safe working conditions for the driver?

C. What if there is a serious traffic accident and an injured, upset cheetah does what? Escapes? Attacks first responders? Attacks the driver?

I just can't see anything good about this.

Cheetahs though, tend to have a more docile temperment compared to that of a lion or a tiger, but I do have a problem with the handlers being all too comfortable doing that cause if the cheetah were taken by surprise or something... could lead to problems. I been around bobcats and I wouldn't allow them ride like that in a car.

Hope they're driving carefully, cheetahs are real fascinating kitties.

Crazy Cheetahs...I was going to post a joke here, but I forgot it had a "bad" word while thinking about and autocorrect kinda ruined it. D'oh!

Oh well, here's a joke:

Never play a video game, board game, or gamble, etc. with a cheetah...they always cheat.

Wa, wa, WwWwAaAaAaaa...

still kinda funy in a cheesy way.

(looks for some cheesy poofs)

in referance to above post.

From the comments:

Let's See A Cop Pull That Over For Speeding...

Wouldn't the cop's pursuit be considered a Cheetah Chase then? (Err... Sand Serpent... or Cheetah Hunt... or something.)

I don't even know what to say.

I can't imagine a Cheetah not going into fight or flight mode if something went wrong.

Cheetahs never prosper....

Of course, Cincinnati is nowhere near the turnpike and otherwise it appears Ohio's statutes are silent on the subject. But this is Ohio we're talking about — so we're just impressed they have laws of any sort.

Nice objective reporting.

If you frequent that website, they tend to have a humorous/sarcastic vibe on all of their articles. Don't get all huffy and puffy about a joke.
