Allan Kilavuka, Chief Executive Officer Kenya Airways, umemezele namuhla ukuthi inkampani yezindiza ngeke isathumela izinkawu endaweni yokucwaninga yase-US futhi ngeke ivuselele inkontileka nomthumeli ngemva kokuphelelwa yisikhathi ngoFebhuwari.
Kenya Airways wagunyazwa umkhuseli ongaziwa ukuthi ahambise izinkawu ze-cynomolgus macaque zisuka eMauritius e-Indian Ocean ukuze I-New York.
Isinqumo sezinkampani zezindiza sokumisa ukuthunyelwa kwezinkawu zase-US senziwe ngemuva kwezilwane Kenya Airways wayethutha wabandakanyeka engozini yemoto ePennsylvania.
Ukuthunyelwa kwezinkawu ezingu-100 zaselabhu bekusendleleni eya endaweni okuvalelwa kuyo abantu ngabanye ngesikhathi iveni elidonsa inqola lishayisa iloli yokulahla udoti kuthelawayeka wasePennsylvania. Ngenxa yalokho, izinkawu eziningana zaphunyuka, zonke kamuva zabikwa iziphathimandla zendawo. Kuphinde kwamenyezelwa ukuthi bathathu babo ababulawa.
The Izikhungo Zase-US Zokulawulwa Nokuvikelwa Kwezifo (CDC), esize amaphoyisa ombuso ngemuva kokweqa, ibike namuhla ukuthi izinkawu zithunyelwe endaweni egunyazwe yi-ejensi yokuvalela ngaphandle. Kodwa-ke, i-ejensi yenqabile ukudalula indawo yayo futhi idalule ukuthi hlobo luni locwaningo izinkawu ezizohileleka kulo.
Ama-Cynomolgus macaque avame ukusetshenziswa ocwaningweni lwezokwelapha ngenxa yokuthi i-DNA yawo ifana nabantu. Isidingo esikhulu salolu hlobo lwezinkawu besikhona e-US kusukela kwaqala lolu bhubhane, futhi ukunikezwa kwabo kuyaphela. Cishe zingama-27,000 izinkawu ezithunyelwe e-US esikhathini esiyizinyanga eziyi-12 esiphela ngoSepthemba 30, 2020, ngaphansi kwama-21% kunonyaka odlule ngenxa yemikhawulo ebekwe yiChina, ngokusho kombiko. CDC umbiko.
Isinqumo esenziwe yi-Kenya Airways sengeza ochungechungeni olude lwezingxabano phakathi kwezishoshovu zamalungelo ezilwane kanye nabacwaningi esihlokweni sokuhlolwa kwezilwane. Ngemva kwengozi eyenzeka ePennsylvania, inhlangano elwela amalungelo ezilwane i-People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals kuthiwa yacindezela inkampani yezindiza ukuba iyeke ukuthumela izinkawu ngomkhumbi, ithi lezi zilwane “zahlukunyezwa lapho kwenziwa ucwaningo.”
Ngolwesibili, Peta ubize abameleli bezokuThutha base-US ukuthi baphenye izinkampani ezithumela izinkawu, njengoba kungenzeka zephula imithetho ngezinto eziyingozi, njengoba izilwane zingase zithwale izifo.
Amaqembu alwela amalungelo ezilwane abelokhu ephikisana nezinkampani zezindiza ezithumela izinkawu e-US nase-UK kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-1990. Ngenxa yalokho, izindiza eziningi ezinkulu ziyekile ukuthutha izilwane zaselabhu.
