Have you ever seen those beautiful fur coats that people love tom wear? Well, those coats once had lives and some of those lives were of Cheetahs which are now endangered because so many people kill them just to wear their extravagant fur. These beautiful creatures are almost extinct because humans are destroying their habitat and killing them intentionally for their fur.
The reason we must help save this creature is because most of us have never seen this amazing creature up close. If you have, you would know why we need to save them, because it would be a great loss if these creatures became extinct.
We can stop the continued killing of the Cheetah by creating specials areas where they live, so that they can be safe and have a safe habitat, starting an adopt-a-cheetah program, and stop making all fur coats made of real Cheetah fur.
First of all, we can save the cheetah species by creating special areas just for cheetahs to live in where they can live safely and their habitat won't be destroyed. The way this solution would work is, people from all around the world that want to save the Cheetah species could donate money which would be used to make and buy the areas. The leftover money would be used to safely transport the Cheetahs to their new homes. These areas would be in places where cheetahs still remain so they won't lose their natural habitat.
Next, we could help the Cheetah species by starting an Adopt-A-Cheetah program. The way this program could work is that anyone that strongly feels that the Cheetah should be saved can pay a small amount of money to adopt one. When adopted, the Cheetah would be like their pet, but the Cheetah would live in a special area only for adopted Cheetahs. It would also be tagged to show that it is adopted and who it's owners are. This program would help save many Cheetahs because they now have owners and should not be killed.
Also, saving the Cheetah can be accomplished by banning all fur coats made from real Cheetah fur. All manufacturers would have to use fake fur and if they disobeyed this law, they would have to pay a fine which would go to helping save the habitat of the Cheetahs. Many Cheetahs would be saved because this is the main reason why most Cheetahs are dying and why they became endangered.
In conclusion, I believe that the best solution to prevent the extinction of the Cheetah is to ban all fur coats made of real Cheetah fur. This will be the most effective solution because, this is the most serious reason why Cheetahs are disappearing. To end my statement I would like to ask you, which would you rather have, the sight of the fastest mammal in the world running free or the life of an innocent creature hanging on you back?
