Rare Iranian cheetahs get tracking collars
In New york this thursday stated that they have collared an Iranian cheetah with tracking systems. This was inportant as they have little information on these rare species of big cats. The tracking systems put on the cheetah would be able to give the scientists some invaluable insights of the movements of the cats and also the ranges.
These Cheetahs have roamed around the whole continent but now is confined to be under the harsh edges of the kavir desert. As was stated before these cats are near extintion and only 60-100 left in the wild that is why the information of the cat's movements are crucial.
2 male cheetahs were tranqulized and used to be the scientist information pool of these cats.

I think this is the cruelest thing to do. How can you kill your own daughter or son? If you do not have the ability to take care of him or her, you can bring it to child caring centre. You do not need to abandon it. If you don't want baby, then you should not reproduce.
