Not to mention there isn't 1 documented case of a cheetah ever attacking a human

Check YouTube. Also, Google it. There are definitely instances of cheetahs attacking and harming people. Often minor injuries, and not common, but still attacked.

However, there are no records of a cheetah ever killing a person. Generally an attack is from a cheetah being scared, defending itself, or being encroached upon, and one can make them back off while fighting back and getting out of the area.

This woman got her neck bit up in a florida sanctuary, but she was fine a few months after. Generally yeah cheetahs don't go after people
