Ama-85% ezikhumba embonini yoboya zivela ezilwaneni ezithunjiwe. Lamapulazi angagcina izinkulungwane zezilwane ngesikhathi, futhi izindlela zokuzalanisa ziyefana emhlabeni wonke. Izindlela ezisetshenziswa emapulazini zihloselwe ukwenza inzuzo, futhi njalo ngezindleko zezilwane.
Isilwane esivame kakhulu soboya emapulazini yi-mink, silandelwa yimpungushe. Ama-chinchillas, ama-lynx, ngisho nama-hamster akhuliswa nje ngenxa yezikhumba zawo. Izilwane zihlaliswa emakhejini amancane aminyene, ziphila ngokwesaba, izifo, izimuncagazi, konke kungenxa yemboni eyenza izigidigidi zamaRandi ngonyaka.
Ukuze kuncishiswe izindleko, izilwane zigcinwa emakhejini amancane lapho zingakwazi ngisho nokuhamba. Ukugqilazwa nokuminyene kwenza ama-mink abe nomunyu, futhi aqala ukuluma isikhumba, imisila nemilenze ngenxa yokuphelelwa ithemba. Izazi zezilwane eNyuvesi yase-Oxford eziye zafunda ama-mink ekuthunjweni bathole ukuthi awalokothi afuywe futhi ahlupheke kakhulu ekuthunjweni. Izimpungushe, ama-raccoon nezinye izilwane ziyadlana, zisabela ngokugcwala kweseli.
Izilwane ezisemapulazini oboya ziphakelwa izitho zomzimba ezingakulungele ukudliwa abantu. Amanzi ahlinzekwa ngamasistimu avame ukuba yiqhwa ebusika noma awonakele.
Izilwane ezivalelwe zingenwa kalula yizifo kunezazo ezikhululekile. Izifo ezithathelwanayo zisakazeka ngokushesha ngamaseli, amazeze, izintwala kanye nemikhaza kuyachuma. Izimpukane zigcwala udoti osekuphele izinyanga zinqwabelana. I-Minks ihlushwa ukushisa ehlobo, ayikwazi ukupholisa emanzini.
Uphenyo oluyimfihlo olwenziwa yi-Humane Society of the United States luthole ukuthi inja nekati zisetshenziswa kakhulu embonini engenisa izigidi zamaRandi e-Asia. Futhi imikhiqizo evela kulobu boya ithunyelwa kwamanye amazwe. Uma into engenisiwe ibiza ngaphansi kuka-$150, ongenisayo akaqinisekisi ukuthi yenziwe ngani. Naphezu komthetho ovimbela ukungeniswa kwezingubo ezenziwe ngamakati nezinja, uboya bawo busakazwa ngokungemthetho emhlabeni wonke, njengoba ubuqiniso bungatholakala kuphela ngosizo lokuhlola i-DNA ebizayo.
Ngokuphambene nalokho okushiwo imboni yoboya, ukukhiqizwa koboya kubhubhisa imvelo. Amandla asetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni ijazi loboya bemvelo aphindwe izikhathi ezingu-20 kunalawo adingekayo kweyokwenziwa. Inqubo yokusebenzisa amakhemikhali ukwelapha izikhumba iyingozi ngenxa yokungcoliswa kwamanzi.
I-Austria neGreat Britain bavala amapulazi oboya. I-Netherlands yaqala ukuqeda amapulazi ezimpungushe nama-chinchilla kusukela ngo-April 1998. E-US, inani lamapulazi oboya lehla ngengxenye yesithathu. Njengophawu lwezikhathi, i-supermodel uNaomi Campbell wenqatshelwe ukungena eklabhu yemfashini eNew York ngoba wayegqoke uboya.
Abathengi kufanele bazi ukuthi ijazi ngalinye loboya liwumphumela wokuhlupheka kwezilwane eziyishumi nambili, ngezinye izikhathi ezingakazalwa. Lesi sihluku sizophela lapho umphakathi wenqaba ukuthenga nokugqoka uboya. Sicela wabelane ngalolu lwazi nabanye ukuze usindise izilwane!
