NAMIBIA-CHEETAH-LIVESTOCK-WILDLIFE-ANIMALS-
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY JUSTINE GERARDY
An Anatolian Shepherd dog stands with a herd of sheep and goats at the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) center in Otjiwarongo, Namibia, on August 13, 2013. US doctor Laurie Marker founded the center and started breeding Anatolian livestock dogs to promote cheetah-friendly farming after some 10,000 big cats -- the current total worldwide population -- were killed or moved off farms in the 1980s. Up to 1,000 cheetahs were being killed a year, mostly by farmers who saw them as livestock killers. But the use of dogs has slashed losses for sheep and goat farmers and led to less retaliation against the vulnerable cheetah. AFP PHOTO / JENNIFER BRUCE
