Okuqukethwe “kwesilwane esifuywayo” esinjalo kusanqatshelwe i-charter yedolobha lasePensacola. Umndeni onengulube ene-lop-bellied njengesilwane esifuywayo ulindele izinguquko ku-charter.
Ngokuvamile imfuyo ayizitholi izipho ngoKhisimusi futhi ayilali emakamelweni okulala amantombazane apinki. Ngokuvamile imfuyo ayilijwayele itreyi.
Umndeni wakwaKirkman wase-East Pensacola Heights uthi ingulube yawo i-Buttercup ayiyona imfuyo. Nokho, uhulumeni wedolobha lasePensacola ucabanga ngenye indlela.

Ucabanga ukuthi imithetho yokugcina izilwane idinga ukushintshwa ukuze umndeni ukwazi ukufuya ingulube? Sitshele ekhasini le-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pnjnews/posts/10151941525978499?stream_ref=10
Umndeni wakwaKirkman unesikhathi kuze kube uMay ukuze wenze uMkhandlu Wedolobha uguqule umthetho wezenhlalakahle yezilwane, othi: “Akukho emthethweni ukugcina amahhashi, iminyuzi, izimbongolo, izimbuzi, izimvu, izingulube, neminye imfuyo ezibayeni, ezibayeni nakumadlelo. imingcele yedolobha.”
AbakwaKirkman babizelwa ukuthi bazoziphendulela ngoDisemba ngokufuya ingulube eneminyaka emibili ubudala okuthiwa i-Buttercup, umndeni owayithola inamasonto angu-5 kuphela ubudala. Banesikhathi kuze kube uMeyi ukuthi bathuthe, banikeze ingulube, noma bakhombise uMkhandlu Wedolobha ukuthi ushintshe lo mthetho okhona.
Umndeni wakwaKirkman - umyeni uDavid, 47, unkosikazi uLaura Angstadt Kirkman, 44, kanye nezingane, uMolly oneminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye ubudala kanye no-Butch oneminyaka eyisikhombisa ubudala - bagcizelela ukuthi uButtercup, intombazane enkulu enezinwele ezimnyama ezimahhadla, akuyona inkomo, kodwa isilwane esifuywayo, njengenja noma ikati. Futhi-ke, akanawo umsindo futhi akaphumuli kunenja yabo u-Mac, isiphambano phakathi kwe-pit bull nomshayisibhakela. Laba bobabili bavame ukuzwana kahle, nakuba beqhelelana.
ULaura Kirkman ugcizelela ukuthi i-Webster’s Dictionary ichaza imfuyo “njengezilwane ezifuywa epulazini futhi ezikhuliselwa ukudayiswa nokwenza inzuzo.” Akuyona i-Buttercup.
“Ngeke siyidle noma siyidayise,” kusho uMolly Kirkman, onethemba lokungenela ingxoxo yoMkhandlu Wedolobha nabazali bakhe ngesiphetho sikaButtercup. “Akahlali epulazini, ulala ekamelweni lami.”
Umama wakhe uyanezela, “Isilwane esisodwa nje. Lesi sinqumo sibhekisela “ezingulubeni” ebuningini. Futhi nakuba inzima impela - cishe i-113 kg - iseyingulube eyodwa.
Umndeni ubizelwe enkantolo ngesikhathi kufakwa isikhalo esingaziwa sokuthi abakwaKirkman bafuye ingulube emzini wabo, endaweni ebiyelwe phakathi kweBayu Boulevard noSinic Highway. Kwakungekho lutho oluqondile esikhalazweni.
“Akawubangi umsindo, akanuki, futhi akabangeli muntu izinkinga,” kusho uLaura Kirkman. “Asiqondi nje ukuthi kungani lokhu kuyinkinga. Abantu abaningi bayayithanda. Uyingqophamlando lapha.”
AbakwaKirkman bebekhuluma nelungu loMkhandlu Wedolobha uSherry Myers mayelana neButtercup. UMyers uthe ucabanga ukuthi imithetho yezilwane ekhona manje “iphelelwe yisikhathi kancane” nokuthi usebenza ohlelweni lokuthi uMkhandlu ukhiphe izingulube ezinezisu “emfuyweni” futhi uzihlukanise njengezilwane ezifuywayo. Uhlele ukwethula lolu hlelo kule nyanga.
U-Myers usanda kubandakanyeka esigamekweni sengulube ene-lop-bellied. Emasontweni ayisithupha edlule, umakhelwane waseParker Circle wamshayela ucingo wambuza ukuthi ukhona yini komakhelwane owayenengulube enesisu: ingulube yayizulazule egcekeni lakhe.
“Wonke umuntu endaweni wayejabule ngokuthi kukhona owayenengulube eduze,” kusho uMyers. “Kwaze kwamnandi lokho!”
Impicabadala yaxazululeka ngesikhathi kuvela ukuthi owesifazane ubelusa ingulube yomngani wakhe, wabe esehamba. “Bekuwumcimbi omnandi endaweni yethu,” kusho yena.
ingulube engavamile
Izingulube ezinezisu ezixekethile zincane kakhulu kunezingulube ezijwayelekile, iningi lazo alidluli ubukhulu benja ephakathi nendawo noma enkulu. Kodwa zingaba nesisindo esingafika ku-140 kg.
“Impela ukhuluphele kakhulu,” kusho uDkt. Andy Hillmann, udokotela wezilwane we-Buttercup. “Kodwa akuyona imfuyo lena. Imfuyo ikhuliswa ukuze idliwe noma idayiswe. Bheka ukuthi uphila kanjani. Unegceke elihle, umbhede omuhle, nedamu elincane adlala kulo. Uphila ntofontofo kakhulu. Kumane kuyisilwane esifuywayo.”
Futhi isilwane esinjalo, uLaura Kirkman ayefuna ngaso sonke isikhathi. Uthi: “Ukuba nengulube bekusohlwini lwezifiso zami. UMolly uyakhumbula: “Wayebuka i-Web kaCharlotte wayesethi, ‘Ngifuna ingulube! Ngifuna ingulube!”
I-Buttercup yatholwa ngumndeni lapho inamasonto amahlanu ubudala, isakhamuzi saseMilton esasinezingulube ezinesisu. “Ngathi sidinga ingane encane. Wayebuthaka.”
NgeMigqibelo, ubuka uDandelion ehla ngephasishi eya endlini yokuphumula ukuze ahogele isivakashi. Kwesinye isikhathi uyabubula. Futhi lapho uButtercup ezama ukujika endlini, kufana neloli elijika endleleni encane. Kodwa umndeni uyayithanda.
“Akayona inkinga,” kusho uDavid Kirkman. Ekuqaleni wayengakujabuleli neze ukuba umnikazi wengulube. Kodwa lapho ingulube encane ilethwa ekhaya - yayinesisindo esingaba ngu-4,5 kg - kwathatha isikhathi esincane kakhulu ukuba babe abangane.
Wafundisa ingulube ukuya endlini encane ngaphandle. UButtercup waze wangena ephuma ngomnyango wenja ekuqaleni, waze waba mkhulu kakhulu kuye.
Manje ikakhulukazi ulala elangeni egcekeni noma ulala ekamelweni likaMolly phezu kwengubo ensomi eduze kombhede. Noma elala “emhumeni” kaDave, igaraji lakhe elingemuva kwendlu. Lapho idinga ukuphola, uButtercup ugibela echibini lokugwedla. Uma ifuna ukuginqika odakeni, amaKirkmans athulula ipayipi ebhuqwini. Udaka kulula kakhulu ukwenza!
AbakwaKirkman banethemba lokuthi uMkhandlu Wedolobha uzobheka i-Buttercup njengesilwane esifuywayo futhi uchibiyele imithetho yamanje ukuze imindeni ibe nengulube eyodwa enesisu. Uma kungenjalo, babhekana nesinqumo esinzima.
“Uyingxenye yomkhaya,” kusho uLaura. “Siyamthanda. Izingane ziyamthanda. Lena i-Buttercup yethu. " Unethemba lokuthi i-Buttercup izothatha indawo encane, njengoba umndeni wakhe usanda kumshintshela ekudleni okufanele ingulube engahlali epulazini. Nakuba uLaura evuma ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi ujabulela i-Buttercup ngezinto ezinhle.
“Uthandwa kakhulu,” kusho uLaura. “Le yindlela engilukhombisa ngayo uthando lwami. ngiyamphakela.” Ukholelwa ukuthi le nkinga ewumphumela iyinhle ezinganeni zabo ezimbili. “Bafunda ukubhekana nezinkinga,” kusho uLaura. “Bafunda ukwenza izinto ngendlela efanele nangenhlonipho.”
