International Cheetah Day 2023
 |
The Cheetah is the most endangered of the big cats. I don't take this notion lightly in the presence of all the encroachment mankind has imposed on the rest of the world.
Today is a day reserved for the honor and preservation of Cheetahs and is known as International Cheetah Day.
Farmers local to their native habitats pose a threat to their existence because they are viewed as predators and as such are to be wiped from the face of the earth.
Of course, the circle of life and natural selection has nothing to do with the fate that befalls a cat killed because it chose to dine on the local livestock.
International Cheetah Day has been observed each December 4 in an attempt to raise awareness about the threat of extinction that the Cheetah faces daily. They have experienced a decline of about half their population in recent history.
We really should be more effective stewards of the wildlife which shares this planet with us.
Happy International Cheetah Day.
