Much land has been altered by man, either for farming or livestock, and faced with a reduction in numbers of prey animals some cheetahs have killed domestic livestock; these cheetahs in turn are dealt with as pests. Hunting cheetahs for their skins as well as having the cats as exotic pets have made the most serious inroads into their numbers: the subspecies ''A. j. venaticus'', once found over much of south-central Asia, has been reduced to approximately 50 individuals in Iran; the subspecies ''A. j. heckii'' has been reduced to less than 200 in Algeria, and both subspecies are listed as critically endangered.<ref>https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/cheetahs-endangered-panthera-report_us_585c47d2e4b0eb586485d3e0</ref>

"While most scientists believe that the cheetah [[evolution|evolved]], the very oldest cheetah fossils show us an animal that is just about like the cheetahs we know today. This complete lack of evidence for evolution, plus the [[intelligent design|intelligent specialized features]] of the cheetah, lead us to the conclusion that the cheetah is a special creation of [[God]]."<ref>[http://www.creationmoments.net/radio/transcript.php?t=2053 Creation Moments]</ref>
