I mean, as someone who as worked in a zoo, this is fairly true.

Obvious disclaimer that you shouldn't have wild animals as pets.

But like, cheetahs are the only large cats that keepers will do free contact with. Hell, even most small cats don't get free contact. (Because small cats can be VICIOUS. They'll have a baby pallas cat wearing thicker gloves than when handling an owl. Because small cats can just be vicious.)

Like I think the only other cat at our zoo where I've seen free contact with was servals? Because I know they've used servals in shows to demonstrate their natural jumping ability. But I know servals can sometimes have a mean temper as well. Meanwhile they'll do the cheetah run and afterwards put the mic by the cheetahs and it's just like an engine with them purring. It's fascinating to watch when the message in every other large animal is "no free contact because it's dangerous even when they're born in captivity".

Legit if any wild animal could be adapted to a pet it would be cheetahs lmao. Only problem is they can be skittish and very anxious and that's why they're often raised around dogs in zoos to gain confidence.

1933: American communists attack a group of Ukrainians in Chicago who were demonstrating to raise awareness of Stalin’s genocide of the people of Ukraine. Between 1932 and 1933 millions of people had their food and crops confiscated by the Soviet authorities and were deliberately starved to death.

Unlike the Holocaust, the genocide in Ukraine received very limited coverage because prominent Western journalists identified as communists and refused to report on it.

[cannoli-reader]

Walter Duranty of the New York Times was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for reporting that there was no famine in the Ukraine and it was all a hoax or exaggerated propaganda.

The New York Times, in more recent times, declined to return the Pultizer awarded to Duranty, claiming that doing so, and tacitly accepting the falsity of their own publishing, would be tantamount to the sort of revisionist censorship Stalin himself engaged in.

showing my cat the wikipedia page for Cat to prove to her she's an obligate carnivore and therefore has no reason to want my salad. it's not working for some reason :/

That has to be the most humiliating way to describe one of Earth's most terrifyingly effective predators.
