Njengenhloko ye-PAWS Atlanta, uJoe Labriola angathola umuzwa omuhle wenhlalakahle yezomnotho yesifunda kusukela emsebenzini wansuku zonke wendawo yokukhosela yezilwane endala kunazo zonke zedolobha ezingabulali.

Ngokuhamba konyaka odlule, kuye kwacaca kuye ukuthi abantu bakule ndawo badonsa kanzima isisindo sokwehla kwamandla emali futhi ukungaqiniseki kwezomnotho.

Cishe lonke inani lezingcingo zansuku zonke liqukethe izicelo zokubuyisela ekhaya izilwane ezifuywayo. “Umugqa wokuzinikela” wendawo yokukhosela ugcwele, ulindele ukutholwa ukuze kukhululwe isikhala endaweni yokukhosela enkulu. Futhi amashalofu ase-PAWS Atlanta’s Pet Food Pantry ayashesha ukuvela.

Kodwa mhlawumbe inkomba edabukisa kakhulu into engakaze ilandelwe yile ndawo ngaphambi kuka-2022. Ngonyaka odlule, izilwane ezifuywayo ezingu-166 zatholwa zilahliwe esangweni langaphambili lendawo yokukhosela.

“Izilwane eziningi ziyalahlwa ezinezinkinga ezinkulu zezempilo,” kusho uLabriola etshela i-CNN. “Into nje esingaqagela ukuthi abantu abakwazi ukukhokhela lezo zindleko, futhi banethemba ngokushiya phansi. [their pets] endaweni yethu ukuthi sizokwazi ukuqeda ukuxega. Futhi senza konke okusemandleni ethu, kodwa empeleni kubeka ubunzima ezinsizeni zethu.”

Ukwehla kwamandla emali sekukonke kusalokhu kuphezulu kulo lonke elase-United States, kodwa sekukhona kancane nangendlela yehla kusukela ekubekeni irekhodi elisha leminyaka engu-40 lika-9.1% ngoJuni 2022, njengoba kulinganiswa Ngenkomba Yentengo Yabathengi. Kodwa-ke, phakathi nezinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili ezedlule, ukwehla kwamandla emali emikhiqizweni nasezinkonzweni ezihlobene nezilwane ezifuywayo kuye kwaba kubi kakhulu, kwezinye izimo kukhuphukele emazingeni okusetha amarekhodi.

NgoFebhuwari, lapho i-CPI yonyaka yehla yaba ngu-6%, inkomba “yezilwane ezifuywayo, imikhiqizo yezilwane kanye nezinsizakalo” yokubamba zonke ikhuphuke yafinyelela ku-10.9%, izinsizakalo zezilwane zeqa cishe ngamaphesenti ama-2 zaya ku-10.3% nokudla kwezilwane ezifuywayo kukhuphuke kwafinyelela ku-15.2%, ngokusho kweBureau. yedatha Yezibalo Zabasebenzi.

Lokho kwenyuka kwamanani kuyisimo esibi esiphindwe kabili kubanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo imali yabo yasendlini eye yenziwa buthaka ngenxa yokwehla kwamandla emali okuphikelelayo kanye nakulabo abesaba ukukhuphuka kwezimo “zokufa kwezomnotho,” lapho izilwane zibulawa ngobuntu ngenxa yezizathu zezimali.

Ukwenyuka kwentengo okuqondene nezilwane ezifuywayo kwakamuva kuhlanganisa izingcindezi ezibhekene nezinhlangano ezinikezwe umsebenzi wokuhlinzeka ngenethi yokuphepha ezilwaneni ezidingayo.

Ezweni lonke, izindawo zokukhosela aziboni ukwanda kwezilwane ezifuywayo ezinikelwayo, kusho uKitty Block, isikhulu esiphezulu kanye nomongameli we-Humane Society of the United States. Kodwa-ke, lapho kunemiphakathi ethile ebona ama-spikes ezilwaneni ezifuywayo ezilahliwe noma ezinikelwe, lokho kuwuphawu lobunzima bomphakathi obanzi, kusho yena.

“Lapho abantu kufanele banikele ngemfuyo yabo ngenxa yezizathu zezomnotho noma ngenxa yokuthi baphakathi kwenhlekelele embi kakhulu noma endaweni yempi, lokho kuyinkinga yabantu; lokhu akulona udaba oluthile olungabalulekile kubantu,” kusho uBlock. “Lokhu kukhulu kunezinja noma amakati asezindlini. Imayelana nabantu ababathandayo.”

Ezingeni lesitolo, imikhiqizo eminingi yezilwane ezifuywayo ibone ukukhuphuka kwentengo yeyunithi enamadijithi amabili ngonyaka odlule, kunezinto ezimbalwa – okuhlanganisa ukudla kwezilwane ezifuywayo, udoti wekati ongagxili kanye nezinto zokulungisa izinyoni – ukubona amanani entengo ekhuphuka unyaka nonyaka enyakatho yezingu-20. %, ngokusho kwedatha ye-Nielsen IQ yesikhathi samaviki angu-52 esiphele ngoJanuwari 28, 2023.

“Kuwo wonke u-2022, ukunyuka kwamanani bekukhulu kakhulu – kuze kufike ku-20% futhi cishe u-30% wenyuka amanani uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka owandulele – emnyangweni wezilwane ezifuywayo,” kusho u-Andrea Binder, iphini likamongameli we-NielsenIQ North America. “Ekuqaleni kuka-2023, sesiqalile ukubona labo beqala ukwehla kancane. Amanani asakhuphuka kodwa ngezinga eliphansi kunango-2022.”

Ukwenyuka kwamanani kudalwe ukukhuphuka kwezindleko zokufakwa kanye nezithako, wengeza.

“Izindleko zenkukhu, izindleko zenyama yenkomo, izindleko ze-aluminium ukwenza ukudla kwekati elimanzi zinga … eziningi zalezo ntengo zempahla bezilokhu zenyuka ngendlela emangalisayo phakathi kuka-2021 no-2022, okubangele ukuthi abakhiqizi banyuse izindleko zabo, bese kuba ngakho-ke abathengisi abaningi bayalandela,” kusho yena.

Imikhiqizo yezilwane ezifuywayo, izinsiza kanye nokudla sekuyabiza kakhulu, kusho uLinda Harding, ohlala eSan Diego nezinja ezimbili. Uthe izindleko zokudla kwezilwane ezifuywayo zikaLola, ingxube yakhe ye-Australian Shepherd, kanye nekaPhoebe, iGolden Retriever yakhe, ziphindeke kabili zafinyelela ku-$250 ngenyanga.

UHarding usehlise izindleko zakhe. Ubusika bonke akakabasi ukushisa kakhulu, ugesi ulinganiselwe futhi useyekile nokuthenga izinto ezifana nezingubo namaqanda.

“Uma uthatha isilwane esifuywayo, uthwala umthwalo omkhulu,” kusho yena. “Kufana nokuthi uma uthenga imoto uzothwala kanzima kuleyo moto. Leyomoto izophuka, leyo moto izodinga ukulungiswa. Ukutshala imali.”

Wengeze wathi: “Futhi bangabantwana bethu. Siyabathanda baba yizicucu. Ngakho akuwona ngisho umbuzo ngempela. Ngidinga ukuthola imali yokubagcina bephilile ukuze sibathande isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka.”

UMary Avila, umakadebona okhubazekile ophila ngemali engashintshi, ugcina izinto zilula.

Akasayothenga izingubo zokugqoka, uthenga inyama eshibhile, futhi uyazama ukuvala imali uma kwenzeka izilwane ezifuywayo zidinga ukwelashwa okuncane.

“Bahlala bephana,” kusho u-Avila, ohlala e-Bakersfield, eCalifornia, nekati lakhe, uJack, nezinja ezimbili, uDomino kanye noSquirt. “Ikati alinikezi kangako, ngoba amakati. Kodwa izinja, zihlala zipha, zihlala zijabule, zihlala zikufuna eduze kwakho. Bahlezi bekulungele.”

UPatricia Kelvin wasePoland, e-Ohio, uthe izinzuzo zakhe Zokuvikeleka Komphakathi kanye nempesheni zingahamba kuze kube manje, ngakho-ke lapho izindleko zezinsiza, ukudla noma ukuqoqwa kukadoti zikhuphuka, kufanele anciphise.

Kodwa hhayi ngekati lakhe, Jesse.

“Ukube ubenokukhathazeka okukhulu ngokwezempilo, ziningi izinto ebengingaziyeka ukuze athole ukunakekelwa,” kusho yena. “Akukho mbuzo nje engqondweni yami. Ukube ukudla kwami ​​bekuzoba ubhontshisi ngaphezu kokunye, bengingeke ngingabaze. Ukube kufanele ngidayise isiliva lami elihle, osekuyiminyaka engu-60 nginalo, lokho bekuzodlula ngaphambi kokuba kuphucwe ama-‘Whiskers’ ami amancane.”

I-Animal Rescue League yase-Iowa iyinhlangano enkulu yokuhlenga engenzi nzuzo eSifundazweni sase-Hawkeye futhi yamukela izinja, amakati nezilwane ezincane ezingu-8,400 phakathi nonyaka odlule.

Njengomphathi wezinsizakalo ezisekela izilwane ezifuywayo, indima ka-Josh Fiala kwa-ARL iwukusiza ukugcina izilwane zingekho endaweni yokukhosela ngokunikeza izinhlelo – njengendawo yokudla yezilwane ezifuywayo, imitholampilo yokugoma, usizo lwezilwane nokunakekelwa kwezinkinga – ukusiza ukugcina izilwane ezifuywayo nabantu bazo.

“Nakanjani, ngaphandle kokungabaza, sibone ukwanda okumangazayo kuzo zonke lezo zinsizakalo,” esho, ephawula ukuthi isitolo sokudla kwezilwane ezifuywayo ikakhulukazi sibona isidingo se-spikes.

I-ARL ikhiphe cishe amaphawundi angu-40,000 okudla kwesilwane esifuywayo kukho kokubili u-2020 no-2021. Ngonyaka odlule, yasabalalisa amaphawundi angu-146,000 okudla.

I-Waggle, inkundla yokuxhasa ngemali isilwane esizinikezele ngezindleko zezokwelapha kanye nezimo eziphuthumayo, ibone ukwanda kwakamuva kumthamo wokuthunyelwa kuwebhusayithi yayo – nokukhuphuka okukhulu okuvela kubanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo emiphakathini yasemakhaya nasezindaweni ezinezindleko eziphezulu zokuphila, kusho uSteven. Mornelli, isikhulu esiphezulu kanye nomsunguli. Ukwengeza, u-Waggle uphinde wabona ukwenyuka kwama-30% ekuthumeleni usizo ngezikweletu zezokwelapha ezingama- $250 nangaphansi, utshele i-CNN.

“Lokho sikuthathe njengokuhambisana nengcindezi yokwehla kwamandla emali,” esho.

Ngo-2022, izilwane ezingaphezulu kuka-4% zangena ezindaweni zokukhosela kunakwesokunxele, ngokusho kwe-Shelter Animals Count, isizindalwazi sikazwelonke sezibalo zokukhosela izilwane eyethulwe ezinye zezinhlangano ezinkulu zezenhlalakahle zezilwane e-United States.

Lelo igebe elikhulu kunawo wonke elike labonakala eminyakeni emine edlule futhi kuwumphumela wezilwane ezifuywayo ezimbalwa ezishiya izindawo zokukhosela, hhayi ukwanda kwabantu abazinikelayo, kusho uChrista Chadwick, iphini likamongameli wezinsizakalo zokukhosela e-American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Amazinga okutholwa ahlala eyisicaba, kodwa kube nokwehla okukhulu kwezilwane ezidluliselwa kwezinye izindawo zokukhosela ngenxa yokushoda kwabasebenzi kanye nokushoda kwabashayeli, wengeza.

Kodwa ubuye wagqamisa izingcindezi zezomnotho ezithinta abanikazi bamanje kanye nalabo abazoba ngabanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo.

“Kuyadabukisa ukwazi ukuthi kunezimo lapho abanikazi bezilwane bebekwa ezimeni lapho bethatha isinqumo ngesilwane sabo esifuywayo, ukuthi banikele leso silwane endaweni yokukhosela izilwane noma bathathe isinqumo ngokubulawa kwesilwane ngoba bayakwazi. ngingakwazi ukunakekelwa, kusho yena.

“Abantu bavama ukuthukuthela umnikazi wesilwane uma benza kanjalo [abandon or surrender their pet] kodwa okuhlangenwe nakho kwethu kubonise ukuthi lapho abanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo befika kulelo qophelo, kuwukuphela kwenketho abayibona itholakala kubo,” uChadwick. “Futhi lokho kuyiqiniso, futhi lokho kunzima kuwo wonke umuntu ohilelekile, futhi lokho kunzima ngempela esilwaneni esiphakathi kwalokho.”

U-Chadwick ubona indima yezindawo zokukhosela nezinye izinhlangano ukunikeza indawo ephephile neyamukelekayo kubanikazi abangase bazizwe sengathi abanayo enye inketho.

Naphezu kwezinselelo ezibanzi zezomnotho ezenzeka e-US, i-PAWS Atlanta’s Labriola ibe nengxenye yayo yezindaba zempumelelo ezizwakalayo kulo nyaka.

Uthe iminikelo isalokhu iqinile njengohlelo lwamavolontiya. Umgomo oshibhile womphakathi kanye nemitholampilo ye-spay kanye ne-neuter iyathengiswa, okubonisa ukuthi abantu basebenzisa izindlela ezingabizi zokunakekela izilwane ezifuywayo, wengeza.

Futhi muva nje, ukugxila kwendawo yokukhosela yokusebenza nezinja esezihlale isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka, noma “izivakashi zesikhathi eside,” sekuqala ukuphumelela, esho.

“Sikwazile ukufaka abantu abathathu asebenesikhathi eside ezindlini ezihlala isikhathi eside muva nje, sakhulula isikhala sokuhlenga izinja eziningi ezingenamakhaya,” usho kanje.
