I-IATA yethula uhlelo olusha lokuthuthukisa ukuphepha kwezilwane ezihamba ngendiza

I-International Air Transport Association (IATA) yethule uhlelo olusha olusezingeni lomhlaba lokunikeza izitifiketi ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuphepha nenhlalakahle yezilwane ezihamba ngendiza. I-Center of Excellence for Independent Validators for Live Animals Logistics (CEIV Live Animals) ihlinzeka ababambiqhaza kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwempahla yomoya ngesiqinisekiso sokuthi izinkampani ezigunyazwe yi-CEIV Live Animals zisebenza ngezinga eliphezulu kakhulu ekuthuthweni kwezilwane eziphilayo.

“Ngonyaka odlule izigidi zezilwane zahamba ziphephile futhi zivikelekile ngendiza. Abanikazi bezilwane nabathumbi bathembele kakhulu ezindizeni zezindiza ukuthi zithwale impahla yazo eyigugu. Njengemboni, sinomsebenzi wokunakekela wokuqinisekisa ukuthi amazinga nezinqubo ezingcono kakhulu zikhona emhlabeni wonke ukuze kuvikelwe inhlalakahle yalezi zilwane. Kulabo abahambisa izilwane eziphilayo uhlelo lwe-CEIV Live Animals luzohlinzeka ngebhentshimakhi yekhwalithi ethembekile. Njengoba i-CEIV Pharma isize ekuhlinzekeni ngezindinganiso zekhwalithi zokuthunyelwa kokunakekelwa kwezempilo okuzwelayo, lolu hlelo olusha ludlulisela lobo buchwepheshe emkhakheni obalulekile wokuthutha nokuphatha izilwane,” kusho iPhini Likamongameli Eliphezulu le-IATA le-Airport, Passenger, Cargo and Security lika-Nick Careen.

Ukuphatha nokuthutha izilwane eziphilayo kuyinselele. Uhlobo ngalunye lwesilwane lunezidingo zalo eziqondile—hhayi ezingokwenyama kuphela. Kubalulekile ukucabangela ukusabela okungokomzwelo kwezilwane lapho zibekwe endaweni ehloselwe ngokukhethekile, uma ingajwayelekile, ngochwepheshe abaqeqeshiwe. Lezi kwakuyizimfuneko zokuthuthukiswa kohlelo lwe-CEIV Live Animals olusekelwe ku-IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR), izinga lomhlaba wonke lokuthutha izilwane ngomoya. I-IATA LAR isekelwe ekufakweni kochwepheshe nokusebenzayo okuvela kochwepheshe bemboni, okuhlanganisa odokotela bezilwane, ochwepheshe bezenhlalakahle yezilwane kanye nezinhlaka zikahulumeni ezihilelekile ekulawuleni ukuthuthwa kwezilwane nezinhlangano ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni ezinentshisekelo ekuthuthweni kwezilwane.

Uhlelo lwe-CEIV Izilwane Eziphilayo lukhulisa izinga lobuchule, ukusebenza, ukuphathwa kwekhwalithi kanye nobungcweti ekuphatheni nasekuthuthweni kwezilwane eziphilayo embonini yezokuthutha ngezindiza kuyilapho kuqiniswa ukuqeqeshwa nokuhambisana kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka. Iziqinisekisi ezizimele zenza ukuqeqeshwa kanye nokuhlola kwasendaweni ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuphepha nenhlalakahle yezilwane lapho zihamba ngendiza emhlabeni wonke.

Phila Abashayeli Bezindiza

Ukuqonda izidingo eziyinkimbinkimbi zababambe iqhaza ekuphatheni nasekuthuthweni kwezilwane ngendiza nakho kwakubalulekile ekuthuthukiseni lolu hlelo. Isikhungo seDolobha laseLondon i-Heathrow Animal Reception Centre (HARC) kanye ne-Air Canada Cargo zidlale indima ebalulekile ekusizeni ukulinga uhlelo lwe-CEIV Live Animal.

URobert Quest, Umsizi Womqondisi, EPort Health kanye Nokuvikelwa Komphakathi, i-HARC uthe, “Ngonyaka odlule izinja namakati ezingaba ngu-16,000, amahhashi angu-400, izilwane ezihuquzelayo ezingu-200,000, izinyoni ezingu-2,000 nezinhlanzi eziyizigidi ezingu-28 zahamba nge-HARC. Ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha kanye nenhlalakahle yalezi zilwane kuyinto ehamba phambili yethu. Ngakho ukusebenzisana ne-IATA ukuthuthukisa uhlelo lwe-CEIV Live Animals bekubalulekile kithi. Sibheke ngabomvu ukuqhubeka nokusebenzisana eduze ne-IATA ukuze siqhubeke sithuthukisa uhlelo futhi sisekele ukwamukelwa kwalo emhlabeni wonke yizinkampani kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka ngempahla ekuphishekeleni ukusebenza kahle ekuphatheni nasekuthuthweni kwezilwane eziphilayo ngendiza.”

I-Air Canada Cargo, iPhini likaMongameli uTim Strauss uthe, “Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umndeni ofuduka nesilwane sawo, umhlambi wezimvu othuthela phesheya kwezilwandle noma izilwane zase-zoo ezihambela ukuyokweseka imizamo yokongiwa kwemvelo, ukuthutha izilwane ngendiza kuwumsebenzi oyinkimbinkimbi futhi ohlelwe kakhulu. Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izilwane zihamba ngaphansi kwezimo eziphephile, ezinempilo nezinobuntu kudinga ukusebenzisana kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka. I-Air Canada Cargo iyakuthokozela ukuba yingxenye yohlelo lwe-CEIV Live Animals.”

Izilwane Ezisengozini Nazo Ziyaxazululwa

I-CEIV Live Animals iphinde igxile ekubalulekeni kokuhambisana nezimfuneko ze-Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) okuhlanganisa Imihlahlandlela ye-CITES Yokuthuthwa Okungezona Emoyeni Kwezilwane Zasendle Nezitshalo Eziphilayo ezitholakala e-LAR. I-CITES iyisivumelwano esibophezela ngokomthetho namaQembu angu-183 (Amazwe angu-182 kanye ne-EU), elawula ukuhwebelana kwamazwe ngamazwe ngezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-36,000 zezilwane nezitshalo.

“Izindinganiso nemithetho yomhlaba wonke ilawula ukuphepha nenhlalakahle yezilwane njengoba zithuthwa ngendiza. Uhlelo lwe-CEIV Live Animals lusiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi noma yiziphi izilwane zasendle ezihweba ngokusemthethweni zithobela izindinganiso ze-IATA kanye nezimfuneko ze-CITES futhi siyakwamukela ukuthuthukiswa kwazo. Kungenxa yokusebenzisana kwemboni ngokubambisana lapho singakwazi khona ukusebenzisa lezi zindinganiso nezimfuneko okuvunyelwene ngazo, futhi sihlonze futhi sibhekane nohwebo olungekho emthethweni ngezilwane zasendle” kusho u-John E Scanlon, uNobhala Jikelele we-CITES.
