Is it legal to own a cheetah?

Conservation: Cheetahs have worldwide legal protection. However, in many national parks and reserves, they are persecuted by stronger predators. Outside protected areas they are killed by livestock owners because of predation. In February 1996, a Population Habitat Viability Analysis (PHVA) was held in Namibia which brought together all the stake-holders in cheetah conservation to address various concerns. This workshop assessed the threats to wild cheetahs in Namibia and identified steps needed for their long-term survival. The Cheetah Conservation Fund is working closely with farmers to minimize livestock losses to cheetahs and reduce killing.

Compared to a similarly-sized leopard, the cheetah is generally shorter-bodied, but is longer tailed and taller (it averages about 90 cm (35 in) tall) and so it appears more streamlined. (Wikipedia)

What are cheetahs defensive mechanisms?

When threatened by animals such as lions, they can use their incredible speed to run away to avoid injury, but a mother cheetah with cubs is a different story. They can become very feirce, and will use their speed to swerve and dash around the lion, frightening it with occasional blows from the claws. They have been known to either "freak out" other predators and send them running away, or run away themselves, simply to avoid injury.

What do cheetahs do to humans?

Cheetahs avoid humans. They are too weak to kill them. Humans are physically bigger and stronger than cheetahs and a full grown male human could easily over power the strength of a full grown male cheetah. This is due to non retractable claws, weaker jaws and low power in strength. A cheetahs body is built for hunting and speed. They hunt smaller animals such as Thompsons Gazelle, which weigh on average of 45 pounds, rodents and other animals smaller than themselves. Cheetahs are the most successful when they hunt in groups of 2 or more. They are highly endangered and need to be understood to a much more knowledgable level. In the wild cheetahs are much more afraid of humans than we are of them and will run if confronted or chased by a human.
