Best Answer

Cheetahs are killed illegally by some cattle herders who consider them a threat to livestock. Although cheetahs do often travel in the same areas as cattle, only a starving cheetah will ever attack cows. People used to hunt cheetahs for their pelts, which were considered a status symbol. However, people no longer do that.
