The Interpreter Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Cincinnati Zoo: http://autos.yahoo.com/news/did-you-know-cheetahs-ride-shotgun-.html 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 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.

McSalsa Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaiderFTW Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 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.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsrattler Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
