Livestock Guardian Dogs, such as Anatolian Shepherds, are used in many places all over the world, but for the sake of Lioden's "African animal" rule, I will be focusing on the LGDs used in South Africa, Namibia, and Tanzania to prevent Cheetah population decrease. Cheetahs will often go after livestock as easier prey, and for this they are shot and killed. Recently, a program was implemented to place pedigree LGDs on African farms to reduce the cost to both farmers and wildlife. The effectiveness and usefulness of this program is debatable, but the fact is that there are now plenty of LGDs living and working in Africa.

This would be a great March decor, as LGDs lower the kill rate of endangered cheetahs!!
