Bobabili babethanda amahlosi futhi bethandana. Bekungenye yezindawo ezinkulu ezikhangayo zokuvakasha nezokuvakasha e-Las Vegas Strip amashumi eminyaka.
Umbhangqwana owaziwa kakhulu futhi ohlonishwa kakhulu waseMelika-German wahlukaniswa ebudlelwaneni bokuphila ngesikhathi i-Las Vegas Star Roy Horn USiegfried noRoy wabulawa yi-coronavirus ebulalayo.
“Namuhla, umhlaba ulahlekelwe ngomunye wezingwazi zomlingo, kodwa ngilahlekelwe umngane wami omkhulu. Kusukela ngesikhathi esahlangana ngaso, ngangazi ukuthi mina noRoy, sindawonye, sizowushintsha umhlaba. Angeke kube khona uSiegfried ngaphandle kukaRoy, futhi akekho uRoy ngaphandle kukaSiegfried. Kusukela ngesikhathi esahlangana ngaso, ngangazi ukuthi mina noRoy, sindawonye, sizowushintsha umhlaba. Angeke kube khona uSiegfried ngaphandle kukaRoy, futhi akekho uRoy ngaphandle kukaSiegfried. URoy wayengumlwi impilo yakhe yonke kuhlanganise nalezi zinsuku zokugcina. Ngibonga ngokusuka enhliziyweni ethimbeni lodokotela, abahlengikazi, kanye nabasebenzi baseMountain View Hospital abasebenze ngobuqhawe ukulwa naleli gciwane elicashile elagcina libulale uRoy.”
Lesi yisitatimende esikhishwe nguzakwabo kaRoy uSiegfried Fischbacher. Abashadikazi abakaze bakhulume ngobudlelwano babo noma ngobulili babo esidlangalaleni. Siegfried wathuthela e-Italy ngo-1956 futhi waqala ukusebenza ehhotela. Ekugcineni wathola umsebenzi wokwenza umlingo emkhunjini iTS Bremen ngaphansi kwegama lesiteji elithi Delmare. Siegfried kanye no Roy wahlangana ngenkathi Siegfried wayedlala emkhunjini, futhi wacela uRoy ukuthi amsize ngesikhathi sombukiso.
URoy Horn wazalwa u-Uwe Ludwig Horn ngo-Okthoba 3, 1944, eNordenham, eJalimane, phakathi nokuhlasela kwamabhomu, kuJohanna Horn. Uyise omzalayo washona eMpini Yezwe Yokuqala, futhi unina waphinde washada ngemva kokuphela kwempi. Unina kaHorn waphinde washada nomakhi futhi kamuva waqala ukusebenza efektri. UHorn wayenabafowabo abathathu: uManfred, u-Alfred, noWerner. UHorn waba nesithakazelo ezilwaneni esemncane kakhulu futhi wanakekela inja yakhe yobuntwana, okuthiwa uHexe.
Umyeni womngane kanina kaHorn, u-Emil, wayengumsunguli we-Bremen Zoo, eyanikeza u-Horn ukufinyelela ezilwaneni zangaphandle kusukela eneminyaka engu-10 ubudala. UHorn wavakashela e-United States isikhashana lapho umkhumbi wakhe uphahlazeka futhi udonselwa eNew York City. Wabuyela ekhaya eBremen ngaphambi kokuba abuyele olwandle njengoweta, lapho ahlangana khona noFischbacher futhi waqala umsebenzi wakhe wokudlala.
Umnikazi we-Astoria Theatre e-Bremen, eJalimane, wabona isenzo sika-Fischbacher no-Horn emkhunjini we-Caribbean cruise cruise futhi waqasha laba ababili ukuthi badlale e-nightclub yakhe. Lokhu kwaqala umsebenzi wokujikeleza kuma-nightclub aseYurophu, futhi i-duo yaqala ukudlala nezingwe. Batholwa becula eParis nguTony Azzie, owabacela ukuba beze eLas Vegas ngo-1967. Bachitha isikhathi esithile ePuerto Rico futhi kungenzeka ukuthi bathenga indawo lapho.
Ngo-1981, u-Ken Feld we-Irvin & Kenneth Feld Productions waqala Ngaphandle Kokukholwa show with Fischbacher and Horn at the New Frontier Hotel and Casino. Inguqulo ethuthukisiwe yombukiso yathathwa ohambweni lomhlaba engxenyeni yesithathu ka-1988.
Ngo-Okthoba 3, 2003, ngesikhathi sombukiso e-Las Vegas Mirage, ingwe emhlophe eneminyaka eyisikhombisa okuthiwa uMantecore yahlasela uRoy. Njengengxenye yesenzo kodwa wahoxisa umbhalo, uRoy wabamba umbhobho wakhe emlonyeni kaMantecore wamtshela ukuthi “sawubona” ezithamelini. Kuphendula uMantecore eluma umkhono kaRoy. URoy wagwinya iNgwe futhi wakhonkotha “khulula!” kodwa uMantecore wabe esewisa uRoy ngomlenze wakhe wamcindezela phansi.
Njengoba abaqeqeshi abalindile begijima besuka esiteji bezosiza, uMantecore waluma intamo kaRoy wamkhipha esiteji. Abaqeqeshi bagcine bekwazile ukuthi ingwe ikhulule uRoy ngemuva kokumfutha nge-CO2 amathini, indlela yokugcina etholakalayo.
Lokhu kuhlasela kwanqamula umgogodla kaRoy, kwabangela ukopha okukhulu, futhi kwabangela ukulimala kabi kwezinye izingxenye zomzimba wakhe, kwaphazamisa unomphela ikhono lakhe lokunyakaza, ukuhamba nokukhuluma. U-Roy uphinde washaywa unhlangothi nakuba odokotela besikhungo sokuhlukumezeka se-Level I okuwukuphela kwayo e-Nevada, e-University Medical Center, bengakwazi ukunquma ukuthi isifo sohlangothi senzeke ngaphambi noma ngemva kokuthi uMantecore emhudulele ngaphandle kwesiteji.
Ngesikhathi ephuthunyiswa esibhedlela, uRoy uthe, “I-Mantecore iyikati elihle. Qiniseka ukuthi akukho monakalo oza kuMantecore.” Kusho uRoy Abantu Magazine ngo-September 2004 ukuthi uMantecore "wasindisa impilo yakhe" ngokuzama ukumhudulela endaweni ephephile ngemva kokushaywa yisifo sohlangothi. USteve Wynn, ongumnikazi we-Mirage, kamuva wathi ingwe ibisabela “esidlekeni sezinyosi” esihlobise ilungu lezethameli lesifazane ngaphambili. Ukulimala kukaRoy kwenze iMirage yawuvala umdlalo kwadilizwa abalingisi abangu-267 nabasebenzi.
Lapho umqeqeshi uChris Lawrence, owasindisa impilo kaRoy ngokuthumela i-CO2 amathini, kamuva aphikisa izincazelo zikaSiegfried & Roy kanye noSteve Wynn zokuthi kungani ingwe ihlasele uRoy, laba ababili baphendula ngokubiza uLawrence “ngotshwala.” U-Lawrence wathi uMantecore “wayecishiwe” ngalobo busuku futhi ephatheke kabi futhi uRoy wehlulekile ukukubona lokho, okwaholela ekutheni uMantecore “enze okwenziwa amahlosi” - ehlasela.
Kamuva u-Lawrence wathi ukholelwa ukuthi uSiegfried & Roy kanye ne-Mirage bavala isizathu sangempela sokuhlasela ukuze kuvikelwe isithombe sabo nomkhiqizo.
Ngo-Agasti 2004, isenzo sabo saba yisisekelo sochungechunge lwethelevishini oluhlala isikhathi esifushane Baba kaQhosha. Ngaphambi nje kokukhululwa kwalo, uchungechunge lwacishe lwakhanselwa, kwaze kwaba yilapho u-Siegfried & Roy enxusa i-NBC ukuthi iqhubeke nokukhiqiza ngemva kokuba isimo sikaRoy ekulimaleni kwango-Okthoba 2003 sesingcono. Ngo-March 2006, u-Roy wayesekhuluma futhi ehamba, ngosizo luka-Siegfried, futhi wavela ohlelweni lwezindaba zethelevishini luka-Pat O'Brien. Insider ukuxoxa ngokuhlunyeleliswa kwakhe kwansuku zonke.
NgoFebhuwari 2009, i-duo yenza ukubonakala kokugcina no-Mantecore njengenzuzo ye-Lou Ruvo Brain Institute (nakuba uChris Lawrence, umphathi wezilwane owangenela isigameko sase-Mantecore, uthe lokhu kusebenza kuhilela ingwe ehlukile). Ukusebenza kwabo kwaqoshwa ukuze kusakazwe kumabonakude i-ABC 20/20 Uhlelo.
NgoJuni 2016, kwamenyezelwa ukuthi uSiegfried & Roy bazokhiqiza ifilimu ye-biopic, ebhala ngezimpilo zabo.
Ngasekupheleni kuka-Ephreli 2020, uRoy waveza ukuthi uhlolwe ukuthi une-COVID-19 futhi kubikwa ukuthi "usabela kahle ekwelashweni". Nokho isimo sakhe saba sibi kakhulu washonela esibhedlela iMountain View eLas Vegas.
Ubeneminyaka engu-75 ubudala, kanti okhulumela laba bobabili - owamemezela okokuqala izindaba zokushona kwakhe - ukuqinisekisile ukuthi kungenxa yezinkinga ezibangelwa yilesi sifo.
Ngosuku Lwezizwe Ngezizwe lukaTiger Siegfried noRoy babethumele:
Bangani Nabalandeli Abathandekayo.
Usuku Lwamazwe Ngamazwe Lwengwe futhi ngokudabukisayo silahlekelwe u-97% wawo wonke amahlosi asendle eminyakeni engaphezu kweyi-100. Esikhundleni sezi-100,000 3000, bambalwa njenge-5 abahlala endle namuhla. Izinhlobo eziningana zamaTiger sezishabalele endle. Ngaleli zinga, wonke amahlosi ahlala endle angashabalala eminyakeni emihlanu!
Izizathu ezimbili eziyinhloko zalokhu kwehla okungakaze kubonwe yilezi:
Ukulahlekelwa kweHitatat
Amahlosi alahlekelwa u-93% wendawo yawo yemvelo ngenxa yokwanda kwamadolobha nezolimo ngabantu.Ambalwa amahlosi angaphila eziqhingini ezincane ezihlakazekile, okuholela engozini enkulu yokuzalanisa.
Ukungqubuzana kwezilwane zasendle zabantu
Abantu namahlosi baqhudelana ngomkhathi. Le ngxabano isongela amahlosi asendle asele emhlabeni futhi ibangela inkinga enkulu emiphakathini ehlala emahlathini amahlosi noma eduze nawo.
