CHEETAHS - Running Out of Time!

[Jetuzamaki27]

i like cheetah

[sprudrats]

I wana be a Cheetah.

5 people got damaged by a cheetah.

[L0vefreekzzz]

Save the cheetah they are friken amazing

[thisgame2]

bless you BCR, i really fear that in my life i will witness so many amazing cats become extinct, Its a damn tragedy,. My egyptian mau reminds me of cheetahs

[icebear1946]

One major problem cheetahs appear to have is hyenas taking their food, that happens two or three times in a row and a cheetah could starve. Has anybody considered shooting more hyenas as a part of the solution? I mean one or two guys with a jeep and a fal rifle could make a sizable dent in hyena populations...

[0mega7000]

@icebear1946 The hyenas stealing the Cheetah's food is not a serious problem, sometimes it happens, then the Cheetah's simply hunt again. Killing other animals will result into nothing but a blow to the local ecosystem of the Cheetah. The best way to help the Cheetah, like I said in this video, is to stop the invasive and unwanted plants.

[impbadminton]

What's the intro music called?

[BigCatRescue]

@impbadminton It's a free jingle that comes with iMovie software, I can't remember the name....?

[upgurke]

funy, when i was in namibia and south afrika, all the people complained about the masses of cheetahs roaming on their land....they said seeing a cheetah in namibia is like seeing an elk in sweden...

[neoncdajioajds]

obviously nature is gona be destroyed and it's gonna be all humans unless we give them their own planet :P and then they will probably evolve into cat people LOL

[rananim3]

So theyve been rescued only to be trapped in these enclosures.How ironic.I dont know which is worse.Extinction or Torture.Extinction I'd say.There must be protected ranges(1km2 absolute min per cat) or nothing.All or nothing.

[BigCatRescue]

@rananim3 All or nothing is a surefire way to make sure these cats do go extinct, we need to protect and educate. We rescue our cats from bad CAPTIVE situations, backyards, fur farms, circuses etc... and provide them with the best life possible in captivity :)

[dianakittylady]

@ Big Cat Rescue, Scott Lope ,if I have your name right You said in the video, "cheetah's don't often end up homeless and at BCR is it that they are few and far between in the pet world? ,If you search the Internet you actually can find cheetah kittens for sale,or that cheetah owners don't often relinquish there pet. ie. because they make desirable pets? hence sold or given to another cheetah enthusiast or even zoo whos glad to aquire the cats being that they are indangered no import ?

[BigCatRescue]

@dianakittylady They are less common in the "pet" world, no wild cat species make good "pets" they will always have their wild traits and be dangerous and unpredictable.

[dianakittylady]

@BigCatRescue BCR what species of wild cat do you currently house,and what are the number's like of each species ? form your You Tube video's Ive seen servals, tigers, sand cats cougars ocelot! wow they are sleek graceful beautiful kitties They may not be ideal pets but as big wild cats are concerned are they not " A kinder gentler" kinda wild cat! I wish i had one Just thought that there would be more cheetahs out there hence in need of rescue .

[BigCatRescue]

@dianakittylady Hi we have...lions (4), tigers (13), liger, cougars (13), Siberian lynx (6), bobcats (over 30) servals (around 20) ocelots (4) caracals (3), canadian lynx, sand cats (2), leopards (9), snow leopard, amur leopard cats (2) and jungle cats (2) = lots of enclosures to clean every day !!

[dianakittylady]

@BigCatRescue Hello again , I see you many cats allot of kitties that are hungry in the morning when you arrive at work i know cats like there house clean,i don't suppose a tiger is very fond of litter boxes. you probably have paid staff and volunteers cats can be fussy eaters some eat a lot some don't with there own particular likes and tastes any way domestics do i guess Every species must have there own preferences too Do cats that were once someones pet want to come out and play?

[BigCatRescue]

@dianakittylady We have cats that are more social than others, some cats stay out of the way and are scared of most people because of their background others, come up to the side of their enclosure and show affection, but it's important to remember these cats can all be very dangerous very quickly !!

[dianakittylady]

@BigCatRescue sorry its taken me so long to reply You know you get busy and all I got a little kitten Friday domestic short hair think its a boy from someone who's cat had a litter my brother n law took one too People cat s have kittens then they must look for homes for them or they end up on the street or in a shelter Big Cat Rescue must be a great place to work all those "Big kitties" rescueing the big cats must be somethingl maby Animal Planet will give you guys a tv show Ill watch!

[wannabethug7]

@BigCatRescue Liger? Seriously don't do that bullshit, don't inbreed them or cross breed.

[BigCatRescue]

@wannabethug7 Big Cat Rescue does not breed, we rescued a liger, but we do not agree with the breeding of hybrids like this.

[maryumabdullah]

SAVE THE CHEETAHS PEOPLE ARE YOU CRAZY JUST GO ONLINE TO WHAT EVER WEBSITE AND SAVE THEM THEIR ARE ONLY 10,000,000 I KNOW ITS A LOT TO YOU BUT IN LIFE ITS NOT THAT MUCH COME ON PEOLPE

[maryumabdullah]

SAVE THE CHEETAHS PPL ARE YOU CRAZY JUST GO ONLINE TO WHAT EVER WEBSITE AND SAVE THEM THEIR ARE ONLY 10,000,000 I KNOW ITS A LOT TO YOU BUT IN LIFE ITS NOT THAT MUCH COME ON PPL

[maryumabdullah]

Aww baby cheetahs cute Thumbs up if you agree!;)

[PixleTrix197]

save the cheetas! im part of bushblok

[PixleTrix197]

save the cheetas! im part of bushblok and im only in elementary school

[Riverleopard09]

How'd the vote go? Did the Bushblok bill pass?

[MCmopman]

I've read in a few videos that you don't have Jaguars at the rescue? Why not? I would've thought they would be almost as common as the cougar, being in America and all.

[BigCatRescue]

@MCmopman We don't have any jaguars, we simply don't receive calls about jaguars that need a home, jaguars live in south america.

[mabdulraza]

Just a question, but I thought when animals inbreed, like the horses for example, its better than if they mix. Why is it different with cheetah's? Thanks

[BigCatRescue]

@mabdulraza No, inbreeding is never a good thing and usually results in animals that are weaker than normal resulting in health problems...

[supermacs1]

if i was a cheeta, id say piss off! id like my meat fresh

[victoria3552]

eeeh....it was hard to memorize but i got it!

[ustfu]

I picked up $20 on the street, then decided to donate it to Cheetah Conversation.

[coolrazor25000]

i will only say cheetahs Rock

[LatiosnLatias02]

@coolrazor25000 I love cheetahs but my favs are leopards.

[b4igetu]

There is a very good chance that Cheetahs will go extinct. All wild Cheetahs are just to genetically similar. One small illness could wipe out the entire population.

I have heard that zoos around the world are trying to genetically diversify the captive cheetah population so that they could be released and help thin the genetics in the wild.

Cheetahs have been successfully released before.

[m33lad]

yah bull shit!! If I wana help anyone? I'll make sure I know who I am helping!! Not paying one to some f***ing company who usually steals the money anyways!!

help the sick kids, help this, help that!!!

[MiniHammie]

LOVE IT!! I'm in college, majoring in Zoology, and I want to work on Conservation + Rehabilitation + Rescuing of big cats, but I am in looove with Cheetahs specifically :)

[GraverJ]

Who the hell are the 3 people who would give this video a thumbs down. You suck.

[redflareon22]

[WarriorCheetah]

Cheetahs are my favorite animal

[toribasher123]

CHEETAHS ARE EPIC

[Kranda123]

Aaaaw baby cheetahs XD

[andy1hit]

PLEASE SAVE THEM

[mamaemo53]

كنت فاكراني حاخوف بيها العيال أحفادي أتاريها طلعت قريبتهم وعاوزينها تيجي تعيش معانا في البيت بيتها .!!! إيه الهنا اللي أنا فيه دا يااااا شيتا ؟؟

[bigcatsrescue]

it makes me sad when i see dead animals- even if it was a dead bird. but if someone had ever hit a cat and i was riding in their car... well they would go to the hospital about ten minutes later

[BigCatRescue]

Sounds good! I couldn't be one of those people who hit a cat/dog and just keep driving :(

[olfan92]

@BigCatRescue well if you are driving on a highway you cant stop tho.

[99cheetahgirl]

i love cheetahs! ill help rescue them!( if i can)

[BigCatRescue]

good, good!

[egohaslanded2001]

@BigCatRescue do u have a big cat species u dont have if so what kind?

[BigCatRescue]

@egohaslanded2001 Well we don't have cheetahs for one :) No jaguars either then quite a few of the rarer small cats species we do no have at BCR. We have 15 species at the sanctuary.

[olfan92]

@99cheetahgirl we couldnt notice on your name.

[xXextremeXenigmaXxJH]

my favourite animal 100 stars man

[BigCatRescue]

We do too, hope you voted! :)

[1Muffit]

Good pic of the King Cheetah!! BTW this is in South Africa, no?

[BigCatRescue]

This is in Namibia, thanks for voting!

[princessxmommy]

I think it's great what Laurie and CCF are doing for cheetahs. Thanks again for a great video and the link to vote!

[BigCatRescue]

They are doing a grrreat job :) Thank you for watching and voting!

[mekiu]

Brevard zoo

[BigCatRescue]

Oh, OK - enjoy the cheetahs!

[snazzafrazz]

I think its wonderful that there are people out there willing to take the time to help these exotic animals. I'll definitely vote.

[BigCatRescue]

Thanks for voting, spread the word!!! :)

[snazzafrazz]

I think its wonderful that there are people out there willing to take the time to help these exotic animals. I'll definitely vote.

[Zblj1987]

Voted! 4 times with my 4 emails :) Oh and another one from my mum :D

[BigCatRescue]

Thank you, we hope all these votes will make a difference and help save the cheetah!

[Zblj1987]

I added 2 votes (i ahve 2 emails) :) Gonna try messenegr and gmail mail now! Go cheetah!!!

[mekiu]

kitty!

we're getting cheetas in our zoo! Finnaly,some carnivoresi n the africa exibit!

[BigCatRescue]

That sounds good, which is your zoo?

[Gbjerke]

And why do you care so much about them?

Seems like all activists just wants a feeling of good, and doesn't really care about a cause, or know why they are supporting it.

[BigCatRescue]

They're a unique animal that as been pushed out of it's habitat by people, now it's time for people to help the animals for a change. It would be a great shame to lose cheetahs in the wild. What do you think?

[Gbjerke]

Well it's evolution. Might sound cynic but helping them is actually the unnatural thing to do. As they're meat. Should we have stopped the meteor, theoretically killing all the dinosaurs if we could?

[BigCatRescue]

It's not quite as black and white as that though. If everybody thought like this we'd have empty oceans and forests, if we and cheetahs can live side by side and help one another, this is the ultimate goal.

[bovtube]

Wait a second. What happened to our strong evolution believes? Are we doubting Charles Darwin, who graciously educated us with his survival of fittest theory?????

[wreckedpc]

All the medicines you use to keep you alive is actually in complete violation of Darwin's law. Lets just face it: we are part of nature. When we intervene nature intervenes.

[ViolentDimensions]

I Love Cheetahs, I Hope This Helps A Great Deal In The End

[BigCatRescue]

We do too, spread the word and let's get as many vote for the CCF as we can!

[RubieNg]

Everyone please vote please vote. I used the all of my friends' email to vote for "No Beating About The Bush"

[Videoslaper]

*Fingers corssed* ok goodluck plz when the day comes tell me who won , if u can ofc goodluck 8)

[BigCatRescue]

We will, thanks for taking the time to vote :)

[yoyey]

oooooooooooooh hehehe SORRY it's in november hehehe i will vote sorry

[BigCatRescue]

No worries, thanks for voting!

[RoseRed87]

I voted.... Cheetahs also have non retractable claws that they use to help them get a better footing while on the hunt.... They use there dew claw to "trip" up prey while on the chase..I love the tuft of fur along their head & neck as cubs & juviniles so adorable

[cheetah099]

Actually, cheetahs do have retractable claws. What they lack is sheaths, the soft skin that covers retracted claws in other species. I think cheetahs are the only cats that have this trait, but I know Fishing cats' sheathes only cover part of the claw.

[Videoslaper]

i want to know who won this comptetion of persone of the year u made us vote apparently i cant post this on ur channel so i just pciked a random video.

[BigCatRescue]

The Animal Planet hero of the year is announced in december, we hope all the voting paid off, keep your fingers crossed for Scott! Thank you :)

[yoyey]

[ccfcheetah]

I am so thrilled to see how many comments and views this video has gotten. Thanks again, BCR for doing this! What an amazing way to help us. Please everyone, keep spreading the word for everyone to vote!!!

[ChasehaWing]

NOOOO! not the cheetahs, they're my favorite! MUST SAVE KITTIES!!!

[BerserkLigerZero9]

I Voted 5 Times By Myself & I'm Going To make 20 New E-Mail Accounts & Vote For No Beating The Bush & Then I'll try Some Fake e-mail adresses!

[BigCatRescue]

I like your style! Thanks for the effort :)

[BerserkLigerZero9]

Lol Thanks. The Cheetah Is My Favourite Animal. & Is The King Cheetah SubSpecies Exticnt?

[BigCatRescue]

It's not classed as a separate sub species any more it's just simply a color/pattern variation. They are very rare in the wild but not extinct :)

[BerserkLigerZero9]

Oh Ok & HOOOOOORRAAAYY!! :)

[Isreal4realz]

is it possible to keep a big cat such a lion or a tiger if you raise it from a cub?

rule #1 DO NOT feed it meat. they don't need to eat meat. feed them veggies or something else

rule #2 neuter it

if you follow those 2 fundamental rules then you should not have problem raising these in your apartment or backyard

[BHHerper]

Isreal4realz: NO! That will never work out! Cats are obligate carnivores! They need meat. If you feed them primarily veggies, they can get very sick from malnutrition and die. What do you think cat food is made of? Not veggies or fruit. It's made entirely of meat products with some wheat glutton additives for better taste and preservatives. They are like mustelids! They are obligate carnivores! If they weren't, they'd be living a life like bears would in the wild.

[RoseRed87]

Actually cheetahs have been found in Iraq and other places like that. Those are all ecxtinct though. Cheetah is not 1 of the 4 main big cats. Beautiful though I love how they hunt. I heard that cheetahs are the only "big" cats that can purrr.

[BigCatRescue]

Basically the lion, tiger, leopards and jaguar cannot purr, but all the other cats can, the cougar is bigger than the cheetah and it can purr also :)

[BHHerper]

I voted "No Beating About The Bush"!

MY VOTE WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. MUWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[bestamerica]

i want one baby cheetah live with me as a pet home

[BigCatRescue]

That would be a very bad idea for both you and the cheetah.

[bestamerica]

why is that bad

[BHHerper]

bestamerica, if you want to get an exotic mammal as a pet, then get a reptile, like a bearded dragon, or a ball python that have been captive bred. Arthropods (insects, arachnids, crustaceans and others with hard chitinous exoskeletons) make the best exotic pets because they don't need big enclosures or special heating. You could get a ferret. Theyve been domesticated for a long time (3,000 years) and love human interaction.

[BHHerper]

Maybe then, if you master the ownership of ferrets, can you get something like a raccoon or a coatimundi.

[BHHerper]

Yeah, you would need so much room for the cheetah to run around, it won't even be funny. You need to give them specifically meat, and you need special vets, plus, you need a permit and many other things. Unlike other big cats, they may not be as aggressive as I've never heard of a cheetah ever killing a human before (not like it never happened), however, it needs a lot of territory and in winter you'll need to keep him in a small shed. How will he get exercise then?

[BHHerper]

Cheetahs live in Africa, so there is really no winter; just dry and wet seasons. Unless you have your own private, tropical, island (yes, it is possible to own your own private island) for the cheetah to run around in, there would be no way in Hell that you could keep one and allow it to even come close to what it would be like in the wild.

[BHHerper]

The cats from Big Cat Rescue were not bought fro ma breeder or anything like that. They were rescued animals from private, neglectful ownership, or from circuses. They wish they didn't have to be around in the first place, but they have to. The animals abandoned and mistreated by retarded owners shouldn't have to live in the conditions they were living in when they were first born.

[BHHerper]

It's like people who keep alligators in small 6 foot long aquariums and expect the poor animal to stay the same size as the tank, when that myth is not true at all. They just get cramped in an unhappy, little life. The same with big cats. Which live the majority of their lives in 6ft x 3ft enclosures before Big Cat Rescue rescues them from their crappy little life as a pet or a circus/show animal?

[Kranda123]

aaw baby cheetah !

[Isreal4realz]

hey BCG!

still looking forward to that big cat rumble video =D

[BigCatRescue]

Yeah, not sure if we can make that one happen???

[Isreal4realz]

woops i meant BCR***

sure ya can! just dump like 5 lions, 5 tigers, 5 jaguars, 10 cheetahs or something into a enclosed open field and they will do the rest. just make sure that camera is rolling! ;)

[BigCatRescue]

Sounds messy :)

[jgkdhj]

What are the name of the leopards snarling at each other at the beginning of the video?

[BigCatRescue]

That was Jade and Armani...girls!

[xxxxxPippinxxxxx]

[AdvertChild98]

Is cheetah the only big cat that doesn't eat human??

LOvE Cheetahs!

[BigCatRescue]

There's many cat species out there that don't attack and consume people.

[AdvertChild98]

I said big cat.

[AdvertChild98]

Are you sure that is a leopard? I think that's a jaguar considering those large spots on its coat!

[BigCatRescue]

Yep, we're sure :)

[Mariaglenn]

I voted ..did you? And..it's now on my blog for more to see...help the cheetahs NOW!

[apharot]

Awesome!! Great video. This coming competition season I will be representing the Cheetah Conservation Fund when I do my martial arts competitions. Those cats are the reason I am going back to college to get a degree in biology. Better to safe one of the big cats than to sit on my backside working on computers all day.

[BigCatRescue]

Thanks! Sounds good, it'll feel better to be making a difference in what you do everyday I'm sure :)

[TIGGERTAT2Z]
