i am prepared for all that. and when i move if i get a cheetah it will have plenty of open space to run. and if i get it from the wild at the right age, i don't know what age that is yet, then i will be able to train it.

Who in their right mind would want a cheeta as pet?
Aside from it being a wild animal, it's hard enough for a zoo to take care of one, let alone private owners.
And what will you do if you did get one, but it suddenly started devouring your friends and/or family? Or maybe it'll attack you one day.
It's people like this that make endangered species endangered.

if you don't understand there is a way that i can prevent it from killing with teeth and/or paws. i just have to have the teeth cut to a certain height and cut the nails. btw cutting the teeth won't hinder the ability to eat just the ability to inflict pain. and also if i get it from the wild at the right time in its life then i will be able to train it.

and the type of training i can do is called "trial and error" training. it could take a long time but it would work, it always works.

Okay peeps, everyone here has been saying how wrong it would be to take the cheetah out of its environment and so on and so forth. I'd have to agree that doing so is wrong. That being said, creatures can be taken from the wild and raised as pets. If you take an animal that is young enough you can train it and mold it to be what you'd like it to be. Look at all of the animals that are used in the movies. True cgi is used nowdays for many of the animals, but not all of them. Dogs, cats, monkeys, bears, big cats they all are used in the movies.

how to train a cheetah: what works and what doesn't work. what doesn't work: What doesn't work Some people suggest lightly swatting or tapping the kitten on with nose when he bites too hard. Personally, I found that this did not work at all with Sirocco, my serval. It actually charged him up more; I think he interpreted it as a challenge to play more roughly; he would back up momentarily and then launch a reinvigorated attack. I know other owners who experienced the same reaction to this tactic, and the bobcat of our story had obviously been struck for biting, but learned nothing about gentle behavior from it.
In most cases this will serve as an inducement to rougher play, and while it punishes biting, it teaches no alternate, acceptable outlet for your kitten's energies. You are unlikely to do your kitten any permanenent harm by trying this a few times, as it works for some people, but if you do not see positive results stop immediately. If you try to push the issue your kitten will just become rougher with you and learn to sneak-attack.
When Sirocco was small I simply raised my hands up to block him. He would bounce off my hands and give up. As he got larger that became less effective, and I tried reacting noisily to his pounces; yelling "no," hissing, and pushing him off me somewhat more roughly. BIG mistake! Sirocco was delighted that I'd finally seen the light and decided to wrestle with him. The tackling behavior escalated dramatically, and he also learned that if he pounced on me from behind I couldn't see him coming and block him.
Tactics like grabbing by the scruff of the neck or trying to pin the cat down produce similar results, but are even more likely to escalate the play behavior. I tried these a few times with Sirocco, and you should have seen the delighted gleam in his eyes when he thought he had finally convinced me to play like a cat! I have had some opportunities to watch exotic cats play-fighting with each other, and they are rough. You simply cannot win the rough play game, and you will not be able to "dominate" this behavior out of them the way you might expect to do with a domestic puppy.

what does work: The Soft, Fuzzy, Much-Nicer-Than-Your-Hand Catnippy Toy The first order of business is to get a toy that you can use to successfully divert your kitten's munching, gnawing energy away from your more sensitive body parts.
For most cats, this will be a soft, squishy fleece dog toy, freshly rubbed with catnip for added munching appeal. Tied to it will be a rope or cord to wiggle said toy in a tantalizing way without placing your fingers in jeopardy.
Safety note: exotic cats are prone to ripping such toys apart and eating the pieces, which can result in life-threatening intestinal obstructions. Don't leave your kitten alone with this toy or the attached rope, which can be eaten as well. You may be able to make an exception to this rule with very young kittens.

What to do when bitten When the kitten does bite you, completely still the bitten body part. This will make it seem more boring and less like a toy. Jerking and wiggling will stimulate his instincts to hold on or bite again, and reward the biting behavior. With your available hand, wiggle the diversion toy enticingly, offering a choice between the boring, still body part.
If he doesn't let go promptly, you can try to stuff the toy in his face, making him want to let go of you to grab it. If you are caught without your toy handy, the best move would be to pry his jaws off you unemotionally, stand up, and leave.

There are a number of things to take into consideration when deciding if exotic cat ownership is for you, and if the answer is yes, which species of exotic cat is suitable for your situation. They include:
Your ability to make a lifetime committment to an animal who may cause you considerable headaches Your ability to be a responsible owner Local and Federal Laws Your financial ability to provide proper care and housing for the cat Your level of experience in working with animals Size of the cat Disposition of the cat Endangered Species Status

i am prepared for all that. and when i move if i get a cheetah it will have plenty of open space to run. and if i get it from the wild at the right age, i don't know what age that is yet, then i will be able to train it. Well the problem is , they are protected and it is difficult for a zoo to get a cheetah . They can and do cost upward of 100,000 dollars and the permits to own one are nearly impossible to get . But it is a dream for you and who knows , you may end up as rich as Michael Jackson and have your own personal zoo , then you may qualify . Good luck with your dream . What to do when bitten When the kitten does bite you, completely still the bitten body part. This will make it seem more boring and less like a toy. Jerking and wiggling will stimulate his instincts to hold on or bite again, and reward the biting behavior. With your available hand, wiggle the diversion toy enticingly, offering a choice between the boring, still body part. If he doesn't let go promptly, you can try to stuff the toy in his face, making him want to let go of you to grab it. If you are caught without your toy handy, the best move would be to pry his jaws off you unemotionally, stand up, and leave. you are talking about training domestic kittens here . A wild cheetah cub is just that , wild and do and will bite . You can't eradicate a natural behavior . Do the research into obtaining a Cheetah . The cheetah is endangered and one of the most vulnerable feline species. Though they are a protected species in Nambia and are protected by CITES and the Endangered Species Act, numbers in the wild and in captivity are declining. They are very sensive to habitat encroachment, and they are often killed by poachers and to protect livestock. The cheetah suffers from a lack of genetic diversity in the wild and in captivity. They reproduce poorly, having infrequent litters with a low survival rate. They do not breed easily in captivity (unlike most other wild cats) and have a much shorter average lifespan than many species. Obtaining permits to own or breed cheetahs is a difficult and expensive process even for top zoos; if you want a pet cheetah you are out of luckcheetah
