Cheetah Girl

Steve writes of our friend Lauren, the falconer, world traveler, writer, old-school adventurer:

"After her expedition to the Red Planet, Lauren went on to Savannah World to work with cheetahs.

"Real. Hunting. Cheetahs."





More to come, I hope.

A cheetah is the only exotic big cat I have ever really thought I'd like to have. It is more like having a big, wild sighthound than a cat anyway! If this fantasy ever came true(beware what you wish for!), I'd want to raise it with a pack of sighthounds for companions, and live in some real open coursing territory(which I don't just now) and course it with the dogs. Of course privately owning one is almost certainly illegal in this country, as I'm sure hunting with it would be too! But when has legality ever stopped anyone from doing such activities?! I imagine getting caught poaching with a feline lurcher would make international headlines! L.B.
