Ukwanda kwezinsolo zobugebengu ezinyakazise i-Dallas Zoo emasontweni asanda kwedlula kuxake imboni yonke.
“Angazi noma iyiphi i-zoo enezinto ezifana nalezi,” kusho uMichael Reiner, uprofesa wesayensi yezinto eziphilayo neyokusebenza kwengqondo eDrake University e-Iowa futhi ongumxhumanisi wohlelo lwe-zoo and conservation science.
“Abantu bacishe bamangala,” esho."Babefuna iphethini ezobaholela ekuchazeni."
Lesi sigameko siqale ngoJanuwari 13, lapho kwabikwa ukuthi ingwe ebigubuzelwe yifu idukile endaweni yayo.Ezinsukwini nasemavikini alandelayo, kwatholakala ukuvuza endaweni ebiyelwe nge-langur, inqe esengozini yatholakala ishonile, futhi kuthiwa kwebiwa izinkawu ezimbili ze-emperor.
UTom Schmid, oyi-CEO kanye nomongameli weColumbus Zoo and Aquarium, uthe akakaze ayibone into enje.
“Akuchazeki,” esho.“Eminyakeni engu-20+ ngikulo mkhakha, angikwazi ukucabanga ngesimo esifana nalesi.”
Ngenkathi bezama ukuthola ukuthi bangakuthola kanjani lokhu, i-Dallas Zoo yathembisa ukwenza "izinguquko ezinkulu" ohlelweni lwezokuphepha lwalesi sikhungo ukuze kuvinjelwe izigameko ezifanayo ukuthi zingaphinde zenzeke.
NgoLwesihlanu, iziphathimandla zixhumanise lesi sivakashi esineminyaka engu-24 ubudala namacala amathathu, okuhlanganisa nezinsolo zokweba ama-emperor marmosets.UDavion Irwin uboshwe ngoLwesine ngamacala okugqekeza kanye nokuhlukumeza izilwane.
U-Irving uphinde abhekane namacala okugqekeza ahlobene nokubalekela ingwe yaseNova eguqubele, kusho uMnyango Wamaphoyisa aseDallas.U-Owen "wayethinteka" esigamekweni se-langur kodwa akazange abekwe icala kuleli cala.
U-Irvine naye akazange abekwe icala mayelana nokufa kukaJanuwari 21 kuka-Pin, ukhozi oneminyaka engu-35 ubudala, owatholakala "enamanxeba angajwayelekile" izikhulu ze-zoo eziwachaza ngokuthi "angavamile".
Iziphathimandla azikasitholi isizathu, kodwa uLoman uthe abaphenyi bakholelwa ukuthi u-Owen wayehlela elinye icala ngaphambi kokuba aboshwe.Isisebenzi saseDallas World Aquarium sazise u-Irving ngalokhu ngemva kokuba umnyango wamaphoyisa ukhiphe isithombe somuntu obufuna ukukhuluma naye mayelana nesilwane esilahlekile.Ngokwencwadi efungelwe yamaphoyisa esekela incwadi yakhe egunyaza ukuboshwa, u-Owen wabuza iphoyisa “ngezindlela nendlela yokuthumba isilwane.”
UMongameli weDallas Zoo kanye ne-CEO uGreg Hudson uthe ngoLwesihlanu u-Irwin akasebenzanga noma azivolontiya e-Dallas Zoo, kodwa uvunyelwe njengesivakashi.
"Kube yisonto elimangalisayo kithina sonke ezu," kusho u-Hudson etshela izintatheli.“Okwenzeka lapha akukaze kwenzeke.”
Uma kukhona okungahambi kahle kuma-zoo, izigameko zivame ukuhlukaniswa futhi zingaxhunyaniswa nomuntu ozama ukuletha isilwane ekhaya noma endaweni yokuhlala, kusho uSchmid.
"Akujwayelekile," kusho uSchmid.“Iqiniso lokuthi sebenezehlakalo ezimbalwa lenza lokhu kubaxake kakhulu.”
Izikhulu zaseDallas zinikeze imininingwane embalwa ngalezi zigameko, nakuba ezintathu zazo - izingwe, izimbila nama-langurs - zinezilonda ezitholwe ocingweni.amanethalapho izilwane zazigcinwa ndawonye.Iziphathimandla zithi kubukeka sengathi zenziwe ngamabomu.
Okhulumela i-zoo uthe u-Pin uhlala endaweni evulekile.Imbangela yokufa kokhozi olusengozini yokushabalala ayikatholakali.
Iziphathimandla azizange zisho ukuthi yiliphi ithuluzi elisetshenziswe ukusika ucingoImeshi.U-Pat Janikowski, umklami we-zoo osenesikhathi eside eyinhloko ye-PJA Architects, uthe le mesh ivamise ukwenziwa ngemicu eminingi yensimbi engagqwali elukiwe ibe yizintambo futhi ilukwe ndawonye.
“Inamandla ngempela,” esho.“Iqine ngokwanele ukuthi i-gorilla ingagxuma ilidonse ngaphandle kokuyiphula.”
USean Stoddard, inkampani yakhe i-A Thru Z Consulting and Distributing ephakela imboni futhi usesebenze neDallas Zoo iminyaka engaphezu kuka-20, uthe udale igebe elikhulu ngokwanele ukuthi izilwane zikwazi ukuphatha amabhawodi noma izinsimbi zokusika umsolwa. .
Iziphathimandla azizange zisho ukuthi leli thuluzi lalingasetshenziswa nini.Ezimweni ezimbili - ngengwe kanye ne-tamarin - abasebenzi be-zoo bathola izilwane ezilahlekile ekuseni.
UJoey Mazzola, obesebenza njengesazi sezinto eziphilayo zasolwandle e-zoo kusukela ngo-2013 kuya ku-2017, uthe abasebenzi kungenzeka bathole izinkawu nezingwe ezingekho lapho bebala izilwane, njengoba nje benza njalo ekuseni nasebusuku.
Okhulumela iZoo uKari Streiber uthe zombili lezi zilwane zithathwe ngobusuku bangaphambilini.UNova ubalekile ezindaweni ezivamile lapho ehlala khona nodadewabo omdala uLuna.UStreiber uthe akukacaci ukuthi uNova uzohamba nini.
Ngokusho kukaStreiber, lezi zinkawu zinyamalale endaweni yokugcina izinto eduze nendawo ezihlala kuyo.UMazzola ufanisa lezi zindawo namagceke angemuva: izindawo ezingafihlwa kubavakashi futhi zihlukaniswe nezindawo zokuhlala zomphakathi zezilwane nezindawo ezilala kuzo.
Akukacaci ukuthi u-Irwin ungene kanjani emkhathini.Okhulumela amaphoyisa uLohman uthe iziphathimandla zazi ukuthi u-Irwin wazidonsa kanjani izimbila zithutha, kodwa wenqabile ukuphawula, ecaphuna uphenyo oluqhubekayo, njengoba kwenza uStreiber.
U-Hudson uthe i-zoo ithatha izinyathelo zokuphepha ukuqinisekisa ukuthi "into efana nalena ayiphindi yenzeke."
Wengeze amakhamera, okuhlanganisa nombhoshongo obolekwe eMnyangweni Wamaphoyisa waseDallas, nonogada abaningi ebusuku abazoqapha indawo engamahektare angu-106.Abasebenzi bavimba ezinye izilwane ukuthi zichithe ubusuku ngaphandle, kusho uStreiber.
"Ukonga i-zoo kuyinselelo eyingqayizivele edinga izidingo ezikhethekile ngenxa yemvelo," kusho isitatimende se-zoo ngoLwesithathu.“Kuvame ukuba nezihlahla ezinde, izindawo zokuhlala ezibanzi, nezindawo ezingemuva kwesiteji ezidinga ukugadwa, kanye nokugcwala kwezivakashi, osonkontileka nabasebenzi bamafilimu.”
Akucaci ukuthi bekukhona yini ainsimbiumtshina phezu kwetafula.Njengamazoo amaningi aseMelika, iDallas ayinayo, futhi uStreiber uthe akazi noma bayacatshangelwa yini.
Ezinye izikhungo zicabanga ukufaka lezi zinhlelo, kusho uSchmid, kanti iColumbus Zoo iyawafaka ukuvikela ukudubula kwabantu abaningi.
Isigameko saseDallas singase senze izikhulu zama-zoo agunyaziwe angaphezu kuka-200 ezweni lonke zihlole ukuthi "zenzani," esho.
USchmid akanaso isiqiniseko sokuthi lokhu kuzoshintsha kanjani ezokuphepha eColumbus Zoo, kodwa uthe kube nezingxoxo eziningi mayelana nokunakekelwa kwezilwane nokuphepha.
U-Renner wase-Drake University wethemba ukuthi ukugcizelela okusha kwe-Dallas kwezokuphepha nokuphepha ngeke kunciphise umgomo we-zoo wokudala ukuxhumana okunengqondo phakathi kwezilwane nezivakashi.
“Mhlawumbe kunendlela yamasu yokuthuthukisa ezokuphepha ngaphandle kokulimaza i-zoo noma ukucekela phansi isivakashi,” esho.“Ngiyethemba ukuthi yilokho abakwenzayo.”
