Izindlovu zithunyelwa zisuka Africa ema-zoo angaphandle kwezwekazi kuzoba ngaphansi kwezinhlangano zokulondoloza izilwane zasendle emhlabeni wonke kanye nohulumeni ngemva kokuba ochwepheshe bezilwane zasendle begunyaze isinqumo sokunciphisa ukudayiswa kwezindlovu zasendle Zimbabwe kanye neBotswana, amazwe ahamba phambili ngokuzalanisa izindlovu.
I-European Union ifinyelele esivumelwaneni kuleli sonto, esikhawulela ukuthengiswa kwezindlovu eziphilayo ezivela e-Afrika, kodwa ivumela okuhlukile okuhlobene ne-Europe.
Ongoti bezilwane zasendle, abavela emazweni ayingxenye yesivumelwano samazwe ngamazwe sokuhwebelana ngezilwane zasendle, bagunyaze futhi bagunyaza isinqumo sokunciphisa ukudayiswa kwezindlovu eziphilayo ezivela e-Afrika ngesikhathi somhlangano wabo wezinhlangano zeConvention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) Geneva.
Kodwa lesi sinqumo esisha sisho futhi ukuthi ama-zoo ngeke esakwazi ukungenisa izindlovu zase-Afrika ezibanjwe zasendle e-United States, eChina nakwamanye amazwe amaningi ngale kwendawo yemvelo yezindlovu e-Afrika.
Njengoba i-United States ivota ngokumelene nayo, isinqumo saphasiswa ngamavoti angama-87 avumayo, angama-29 aphikisa futhi angama-25 anqaba. Abameli bezilwane basishayela ihlombe lesi sinyathelo, nakuba abanye benomuzwa wokuthi asihambanga ngokwanele.
Isazi sezilwane ezifuywayo esidumile, uJane Goodall, naye walinganisa, ethi "ushaqeke ngokuphelele" ngombono wokuhlukanisa izindlovu ezisencane nemindeni yazo futhi ziziyise ema-zoo.
Abalondolozi bemvelo baluchaza lolu shintsho ngokwenza isibonelo, bethi lwaluzovumela indlovu kakade eseFrance ukuba ithunyelwe ngomkhumbi iye eJalimane eseduze ngaphandle kokuthi ibuyiselwe e-Afrika kuqala.
“Nakuba kudumaza ukuthi akukona ukuvinjelwa ngokuqondile kokuhweba ngezindlovu eziphilayo, ulimi olusha lwengeza ukuqondisa okubalulekile okuzimele kanye nokuhlolisisa,” kusho u-Audrey Delsink, umqondisi wezilwane zasendle e-Humane Society International.
"Ukuthunjwa kwezindlovu zasendle zase-Afrika ukuze zithunyelwe eziqiwini nakwezinye izindawo ezithunjiwe kuhlukumeza kakhulu izindlovu ngayinye kanye namaqembu azo omphakathi," esho esitatimendeni.
Inqwaba yosaziwayo, okuhlanganisa nomlingisikazi uJudi Dench kanye nosomahlaya uRicky Gervais, basayine incwadi eya kumongameli wegatsha eliphezulu le-EU, bethi "kungaba yichilo ukuthi i-EU ivume ukuhlwithwa kwezindlovu zasendle futhi igwebe la maleviyathani amahle ukuba aphile usizi lokuthunjwa.”
Isenzo se-EU besiyingxenye yenkulumompikiswano ngolimi e-CITES ukuze kukhawulwe ukuhwebelana ngezindlovu eziphilayo emazweni “anezinhlelo zokongiwa kwemvelo” noma izindawo ezivikelekile endle, ikakhulukazi e-Afrika.
IBotswana kanye neZimbabwe yizona ezigcwele izindlovu zase-Afrika emhlabeni jikelele njengoba zilinganiselwa ku-200,000 XNUMX ezihlala endle.
Ezinye izikhulu zase-Afrika zithe lesi siphakamiso esisha sizobancisha imali ebebeyidinga kakhulu futhi kufanele bakhululeke ukwenza abakufisayo ngezindlovu zabo.
"Uhulumeni ubekhipha imali eningi yokongiwa kwemvelo kodwa akukho nzuzo yangempela, kodwa uhulumeni wethu unezidingo zomphakathi eziphikisanayo," kusho uTinashe Farawo, okhulumela iZimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority.
“Imfuyo yethu siyibona njengethuba lezomnotho, ngakho kufanele sidayise izindlovu zethu,” usho kanje.
UFarawo uthe iZimbabwe, Botswana Namibia lamanye amazwe aseningizimu yeAfrica azahlangana ukuze akhulumisane ngemva komhlangano weCITES.
"Ngeke sikwazi ukuqhubeka nokunqunywa imisipha futhi sitshelwe ukuthi senzeni ngezinsiza zethu," kusho uFarawo.
“Ngeke sikwazi ukuqhubeka nokuvumela amazwe anamandla kanye nezinhlangano ezizimele ukuthi zibeke i-ajenda ekubeni izindlovu zingezethu,” usho kanje.
“Sibaningi kakhulu ngakho ukudayisa akumele kube yinkinga kunoma ngubani. Kungani kumele siqhubeke sihluphekela abantu bakithi sibe silayo?” kutsho isiphathamandla seZimbabwe.
