Posted on Facebook on Wednesday, a graphic image of cheetah was shared in the hopes of finding the culprit who knocked over the beautiful creature. The photograph, which shows the cheetah lying on its side with blood oozing from its mouth, is a result of people not obeying the park’s laws. Posted by Ralf Kalwa‎, he provided a little background:

Near the Jock Turn Off‚ Kruger National Park yesterday. She was one of three siblings.

To my knowledge the culprits are unknown at this stage and speculations as to who is or was involved will not solve anything. Please drive safely.

SANParks spokesman William Mabasa said:

These kind of things pains us as officials when people come to the park but do not want to behave responsibly by following the rules of the park‚ because that is where the answer to all these things that are reported every other day.

Our law enforcement officers can only do much because they cannot be everywhere to police every vehicle that is in the park from the time they come in until they go out.

Visitors entering the park are warned to drive carefully. After all, it is not your space to conquer – you have enough of that outside their borders.
