    After overcoming the shock ( This article is more than 2 months old! ) /s

    This is really bad and sad. The beautiful cheetahs may not be among us for long.

    I don’t get why they weren’t monitoring the cheetahs before one died. Seems negligent AF to import an animal and then watch it die. They literally let one die before deciding to do anything. These cheetahs aren’t pure, wild animals if they are imported. WTF India, maybe treat people and animals with more respect. Instead they’re response is, “Oopsies, I guess it was too hot while we watched them die. ” Morons.

    kinda my thoughts too

    Like they probably didnt just drop over dead. Sure someone could've seen it coming. Panting, lethargy, etc are all signs...

    I read the article and the authorities were watching the cubs for two days as they watched them die. They first took notice when one dropped dead, and they only intervened when the other three collapsed... 😢😢😢

    One cub lived, though. If there's any solace in all of this, at least one goddamn cub lived.

    Hope the heat goes up to 100°C. That's when fucking humans will learn.

    Wow, at least one highly upvoted comment like this has been on every single post that involves global warming on Lemmy that I've clicked on.

    If we get to the point where we "learn our lesson", most of the innocent creatures on the planet are probably dead. You people depress me.
