There is estimated that there is around 7,000 to 10,000 Cheetahs that remain in the world. Back in the 19th century there was around 100,000 Cheetahs. That is a humongous difference through the years and that shows that Cheetahs have started to go endangered. I will be showing you how Cheetahs have been negatively affected by Human activity.
Throughout time Cheetahs have had many impacts on the world. It has impacted the ecosystem, for example Cheetahs feed all types of other animals like, beatles, vultures and other scavengers. The Cheetah leaves the remaining of the carcass so it feeds other animals in the ecosystem. Also habitat is extremely important because that is there home. They are mostly found in sub-saharan Africa and in eastern and southern African parks. You can find Cheetahs under trees and dry open grasslands where they can pick up speed and kill prey. This paragraphs shows how they impacted us and there where there habitats are found.

    ASPCA uses heartbreaking images of animals throughout the commercial that need help or rescued. The use of these images gets people thinking that they should help the harmed animals. In any of the ways they offer, by donating money to the organization and even just adopting an animal. This is propaganda because the images draw people in to actually do these things to help out the animals because you are actually seeing the personal problems the animals have. Seeing a talk that can barely walk or a kitten with only one eyeball, would usually have a huge effect on someone to the point where they would absolutely want to help them. If you do donate to the organization, ASPCA will also send you images of the now healthy happy dog you have donated to.…

Through the night Sinzu thought, and thought on how great it would be to have cool spots on its coat like zebra or leopard. “Hey Alfred, Sprinkles wake up.” whispered Sinzu. “What do you want now?” said Sprinkles annoyed. “I got an idea, let’s go to old man Baboon’s Paint warehouse and paint our coats!” remarked Sinzu. “I’m in!” said Alfred.
