Oku kuhambo kunye nokhenketho ngendlela yolwaphulo-mthetho. I-China ifuna ukuba yinkokeli kukhenketho lwehlabathi kunye nokhenketho iba yinkokeli yokuziphatha ephoxayo ngokungahoyi oko bebevumelene ngokukukhusela. Iindlovu zasendle ezingama-31 ezisandul’ ukubanjwa eHwange National Park eZimbabwe zithuthwe ngenqwelomoya kumazwe aphesheya, ngokutsho kwegosa likarhulumente waseZimbabwe elicele ukuba lingaziwa igama lakhe kuba lisoyika impindezelo. Ukuthunyelwa kwempahla kuqinisekiswe nguMbutho woLondolozo waseZimbabwe.
Ilizwe lase China kuxelwe ukuba lithenge ngaphandle kwamathole endlovu angaphezu kwama-30 eendlovu zasendle ezibanjelwe eZimbabwe kwingxoxo ephikisanayo okanye ephoxayo eyenzeka kanye mhla iChina yavala ukuthengiswa kweempondo zendlovu.
Iindlovu ziselula kakhulu, ziphakathi kweminyaka emi-3 nesi-6 ubudala. Ezimbini kuzo ziethe-ethe ngokukhethekileyo: Imazi yethole enye izama ukuma yaye inezilonda emzimbeni wayo; uphelelwe ngamandla oko ekuthinjweni. Enye indlovu, encinane ngokuphawulekayo, “izolile yaye izinzile. Xa zifikelwa zezinye iindlovu, uyashenxa. Unengxaki yokwenzakala kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba uyaxhatshazwa,” latsho eli gosa.
Ezi ndlovu zabanjwa eHwange ngomhla wesibhozo kweyeThupha ze kwafihlwa iintatheli. UMlondolozi upapashe ividiyo eqhumayo, eyayibonisa abathimbi ngokuphindaphindiweyo bekhaba indlovu eneminyaka emihlanu ubudala entloko.
I-Ethiopian Airlines ithumele izilwanyana ngoLwesihlanu, ngokwezithombe ezithunyelwe kwiintatheli ezivela eZimbabwe. Izilwanyana kucingelwa ukuba zingena okanye zisendleleni eya eTshayina: IZimbabwe ithumele ubuncinci iinqanawa ezintathu ezaziwayo zeendlovu ezibanjiweyo eTshayina ukusukela ngo-2012. Kunyaka ophelileyo, enye yeendlovu yasweleka ngexesha lothutho.
Ngokutsho kukaChunmei Hu, ummeli kumbutho weFreedom for Animal Actors, iizoo ezimbini - iChongqing Safari Park kunye neDaqingshan Safari Park - zilindele iindlovu, ngokusekelwe kwiingxelo zeendaba zaseTshayina.
Urhwebo lwamazwe ngamazwe kwiindlovu eziphilayo zomthetho, nangona kunjalo iya isanda kuxoxwa kwinqanaba eliphezulu.
Kwintlanganiso yakutshanje yeCITES eGeneva, abameli beAfrican Elephant Coalition – iqela lamazwe aseAfrika angama-29 amele umyinge wama-70 eepesenti kuluhlu lweendlovu – bavakalise inkxalabo enkulu kurhwebo. UAli Abagana, ethethela igqiza laseNiger, uxelele inkomfa ukuba ilizwe labo “lixhalabile ngenxa yengxaki yeendlovu zaseAfrika, kuquka nezilwanyana eziselula, ezithinjiweyo zaza zathunyelwa kwiindawo ezithinjiweyo ezingaphandle koluhlu lwezilwanyana.”
I-CITES Secretariat iye yanika iqela elisebenzayo lezizwe kunye nee-NGOs ukuba zixoxe ngemilinganiselo yorhwebo oluphilayo lweendlovu, olukhoyo ngokuchasene nemeko yokuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni okubone ukuba isinye kwisithathu seendlovu zase-Afrika zatshatyalaliswa kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo. Iqela elisebenzayo lilawulwa yi-United States kwaye libandakanya phakathi kwabanye: i-Ethiopia, iKenya, i-China, iqela lokuzingela, i-Safari Club International (SCI), imibutho yentlalontle yezilwanyana kuquka i-Humane Society International (HSI), i-World Association of Zoos kunye ne-Aquariums. (WAZA) kunye ne-American Association of Zoos kunye ne-Aquariums (AZA).
Ngelixa iqela elisebenzayo lenza ngamabomu inkxalabo engakumbi iphakanyisiwe malunga nokuziphatha kokubamba izilwanyana zasendle ukuze zithinjwe ngokusisigxina.
UPeter Stroud, owayesakuba ngumlondolozi woMyezo Wezilwanyana waseMelbourne ukususela ngowe-1998-2003 owayenenxaxheba ekukhangeleni iindlovu eThailand, uthi izilwanyana ezibanjiswe endle zisiya kwimizi yogcino-zilwanyana “akukho sazela.”
UStroud uthi: “Ngoku kukho ubungqina obuninzi bokuba iindlovu azikwazi kwaye azinakuphumelela kwimizi yogcino-zilwanyana. “Iindlovu ezincinci azinakuze zikhule ngokwemvelo njengezidalwa ezisebenza ngokwentlalo nakwindalo kwimizi yogcino-zilwanyana. Baza kujongana nenkqubo ende necothayo kakhulu yokuwohloka kwengqondo nokwasemzimbeni okukhokelela kukuphazamiseka okungaqhelekanga ngokwasemzimbeni nangokwengqondo, izifo nokufa kwangaphambi kwexesha. ”
Ukubanjwa kweendlovu zasendle ukuba zivalelwe ngokusisigxina akukho mthethweni eMzantsi Afrika.
UEd Lanca, uSihlalo weNSPCA yaseZimbabwe, uvumelana nembono kaStroud esithi: “Akukho siseko sivakalayo sokufuduswa kweendlovu ezibanjiswe endle zisiwe kwiindawo ezingenazo izinto okanye ezilungele ukunyamekela ezi zilwanyana ngokufanelekileyo ixesha elide. Ngalo lonke ixesha, intlalontle yezi zilwanyana kufuneka ihlale iphambili utshilo uLanca.
ULanca uxoxa ngelithi abakhenkethi baseTshayina endaweni yoko kufuneka bakhuthazwe ukuba batyelele eZimbabwe kwaye “bave ezi zilwanyana zibalaseleyo kwindawo yazo yendalo. Izilwanyana zaseZimbabwe zezesizwe kwaye kufuneka zikhuselwe. Izilwanyana zasendle zihlala zililifa lethu.”
Umbutho wezoLondolozo waseZimbabwe ubhale uthutho kulo page Facebook, kunye neefoto zeelori namakhreyithi ezathunyelwa kuzo iindlovu. Ekupheleni kweposti yayo, iZCTF ibhale wathi, “Sithanda ukubulela wonke umntu oye wazama ukuncedisa ekunqandeni esi siganeko sibi ukuba senzeke kodwa ngelishwa sohlulekile. kwakhona.”
Amagosa eCITES eZimbabwe acelwe ukuba aphefumle malunga nokuthumela ngaphandle. Ngexesha lokubhalwa kwale ncwadi, akuzange kubekho mpendulo.
