Usuku Lukazwelonke Lwezinja Zokuhlenga
Usuku Lwezinja Lukazwelonke Lokuhlenga futhi kunesisho emphakathini wokuhlenga - "Ubani ohlenge ubani?"
Mina nomyeni wami samukela inja yethu yokuqala ngo-2006 cishe ngemva konyaka sihlangane. Wayewumdlwane oyingxube ye-heeler eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, futhi yena, udoti wakhe, nomama wakhe batholwa beshiywe eceleni komgwaqo eNew Mexico. Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, mina nomyeni wami sathola inja yethu yesibili ngemva kokuba othile engene emsebenzini wami nengane egcwele ama-Rottweiler/German shepherd puppies eyayidinga amakhaya amasha.
Kuyinto engalungile ngendlela emangalisayo ukuthi siphila ngaphezu kwezilwane ezifuywayo; iminyaka embalwa edlule yenziwe ngosizi njengoba umndeni wami kudingeke ukuthi uvalelise ku-Ellie no-Diesel. Lamaphuphu ayenathi ngesikhathi sithenga indlu yethu yokuqala, lapho sishada, nalapho ngiletha izingane zami (ezingabantu) esibhedlela. Izingane zami zazingazi nokuthi impilo injani ngaphandle kwenja endlini kwaze kwaba yilapho silahlekelwa u-Diesel ngo-April ka-2021. Kwakuyisipiliyoni sabo sangempela sokufa (babebancane kakhulu ukuthi bangakhumbula ngenkathi u-Ellie edlula ngo-2018) futhi akukho umzali. Incwadi yangilungiselela ukuba ngichaze ukufa nokulahlekelwa ezinganeni zami, nokuthi kungani u-Diesel wayengeke abuye kudokotela wezilwane ngalesi sikhathi.
Sazitshela ukuthi ngeke siphinde sithole enye inja okwesikhashana - usizi lwalujulile, futhi sasazi ukuthi sinezandla ezigcwele izingane. Kepha njengoba ngiqhubeka nokusebenza ukude phakathi nalolu bhubhane, izingane zabuyela esikoleni mathupha, futhi ukuthula endlini kwaba yizithulu.
Phakathi nezinyanga eziyisithupha ngemva kokudlula kukaDizili, ngangazi ukuthi sengilungele enye inja. Ngaqala ukulandela ukuhlenga okuningana okuhlukile ezinkundleni zokuxhumana nokugcwalisa izicelo zokutholwa, ngibheke inja elungele umndeni wethu. Ziningi kakhulu ezotakulwa laphaya - ezinye ezezinhlobo ezithile, ezinye ezezinja ezinkulu uma ziqhathaniswa nezinja ezincane, imidlwane uma iqhathaniswa nezinja ezindala. Ngokuyinhloko ngangibuka ukuhlenga okukhethekile ezinja ezikhulelwe kanye nemfucumfucu yazo - inqwaba yokuhlenga kanye nezindawo zokukhosela kunzima ukuthola amakhaya okutholwa azimisele ukuthatha umsebenzi wenja ekhulelwe, ngakho-ke Omama no-Mutts Colorado Rescue (I-MAMCO Rescue) benza konke abangakwenza ukuze bathathe lezi zinja ngokusebenzisa inethiwekhi yabo yamakhaya okutholwa. Futhi ngolunye usuku ngambona - ijazi lakhe elihle elinomphetho, ibala elincane elimhlophe ekhaleni lakhe, kanye nalawa mehlo amnandi angikhumbuza kakhulu ngoDizili wami. Ngemva kokuqinisekisa umyeni wami ukuthi nguyena, ngakhala indlela yonke ukuze ngiyomhlangabeza. Ngaqhubeka ngimbuka amehlo amnandi ngafunga ukuthi uDizili engitshela ukuthi kulungile, ukuthi uyena.
Izingane zamqamba ngokuthi uRaya, ngegama leqhawekazi leDisney elivela ku- "Raya and the Last Dragon." Ubelokhu wasigcina ezinzwaneni zethu kusukela ngosuku esimletha ngalo ekhaya, kodwa wenze umsebenzi omkhulu wokufunda izintambo futhi. Ulala eduze kwami egumbini elingaphansi lapho ngisebenzela ekhaya futhi ulala nami esofeni lapho ngifunda noma ngibuka i-TV ebusuku. Uyazi uma sekuyihora lesidlo sasemini ukuthi ashaywe umoya. Kodwa akakaqondi kahle ukuthi kusho ukuthini uma izingane zishwiba kusethi yokushwiba – ugijima ngakuzo ekhonkotha futhi ezama ukubamba izinyawo.
Ngacabanga ukuthi ukuthola enye inja kungase kusize ukugcwalisa imbobo u-Ellie noDiesel abayishiya ekuphileni kwethu. Kodwa usizi nokulahlekelwa akusebenzi ngaleyo ndlela ngempela. Lezo zimbobo zisekhona futhi esikhundleni salokho, uRaya uthole indawo entsha azozifaka kuyo.
Uma ucabanga ukuthola isilwane esifuywayo, ngiyakunxusa ukuthi uhlole ezinye zezokutakula endaweni yangakini. Kukhona izinja eziningi (zabo bonke ubudala), futhi akwanele imindeni kanye nabakhulisi abangahambahamba. Ngiyathembisa, uma uhlenga inja, cishe izokukhulula khona lapho. Uma manje kungesona isikhathi esihle sokutholwa, cabanga ukuba nguzakwethu wokutholwa onotaku.
Futhi emazwini ahlakaniphile kaBob Barker: “Yenza ingxenye yakho ukuze usize ukulawula inani lezilwane ezifuywayo futhi ukhiphe izilwane ezifuywayo ezifuywayo noma zikhishwe i-neutered.” Izinhlangano zokuhlenga zenza konke ezingakwenza ukuhlenga futhi zikhiphe zonke izilwane ezifuywayo ezingakwazi, kodwa kusafanele senze konke esingakwenza ukuze sigweme ukuminyana kwabantu.
