Kodwa, ugqirha wezilwanyana wathi, Akufanelekanga ukuba njalo. Iiklinikhi zibaphatha kunjalo. Yaqala njalo iminyaka emine yokuphanga ukuhlala eNew York. Ummelwane wam utshaye ikhilo yentsangu qho ngeCawa, kodwa Mna Yayisoyika eso sakhiwo. Ndandisoyika qho xa kunkqonkqozwa emnyango umntu endingamaziyo, ndiphosa ingubo phezu kwekheji ngaphambi kokuba ndiphendule. Ndiqinisekisile ukuba ndingathethi ngezilwanyana kuFacebook. Izilwanyana zasekhaya zigcina konke ukutya okune-ferret, kwaye oomabhalane beqhwanyaza besazi xa ndikuthengile, kodwa imeko yam yokuphila yasoloko indigcina ndixhuma kwiiselfowuni zamapolisa. Ngenye imini, ndothuka, umphathi wam wesakhiwo wabona uGrizz esemnyango. Kodwa endaweni yesigunyaziso sokubanjwa kwam, ndafumana u-Well, ayingomfana omncinci mhle? Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa kamva, ndadlala esisimumu ndaza ndabuza iphoyisa kwisitalato sama-50 naseBroadway ukuba i-ferrets isemthethweni na. Ndicinga njalo… wafinga iintshiya. Ekhaya, ndibize izakhiwo ezimbalwa zohlobo lwee-doorman, ndibuza ukuba zilungile na. Iimpendulo ngokubanzi ziye zafikelela ku, Ngokuqinisekileyo. Akukho mntu wayebonakala ngathi ukhathalele ii-ferrets zam. Iiferrets zihambile ngoku. Ngaphandle kwalonto, ndihlaziyekile ehlotyeni xa ndisiva ukuba uSodolophu u-Blasio kunye neSebe lezeMpilo le-NYC zibhalise ngokusemthethweni . Ngeli xesha, bendisele ndigqibe kwelokuba ii-ferrets zezilwanyana bezingeyongozi (kwaye zinuka nje kancinci). Babengenabundlobongela kwisofa sam ngaphezu kweekati zendlu endakhula nazo, kwaye babengenabungozi kancinane kuneLabrador yam endala ekhaya e-Idaho. Kwaye iPeanut kunye neGrizz babuthathaka ngokwaneleyo ukuba sathintela izihlangu endlwini ngenxa yokoyika ukukhubazeka ngengozi. Ndazibuza ukuba kutheni kungekho semthethweni kwasekuqaleni. Kwiminyaka elikhulu eyadlulayo iNew York yayinengxaki enkulu yeempuku kwimizila engaphantsi komhlaba, umabhalana okwishumi elivisayo ePetLand kwi-49th Street nakwisi-9 Avenue wandazisa. Ke bakhupha i-ferrets kumatonela ukuba batye. Emva koko isixeko sasixhalabile malunga ne-ferret infestation, ke babenza babungekho semthethweni. Omnye umqeshwa, uErik, wayenendaba eyahlukileyo. UGiuliani ungene entlokweni yakhe yokuba abantu bakhupha i-ferrets ezitratweni, utshilo. Emva koko wongeza, ngokuqinisekileyo, ndihleli apha ubomi bam bonke, kwaye bekukho kuphela i-ferrets ezintathu ezikhululekileyo. Ndeva ukuba umntu ukhe wehla i-ferret phantsi kwebhulukhwe kaMichael Wolff, utshilo omnye intatheli esidlweni sangokuhlwa ngobunye ubusuku. Oko kufanele ukuba yinxalenye yeSixeko saseNew York. Iiferrets zi engekho mthethweni ? ndiphazamise umqeqeshi wam ongakholekiyo ngentsasa elandelayo. Mhlawumbi babukele loo ndawo IBig Lebowski enkulu kunye ne-ferret ebhafini. Kwacaca kum ukuba iNew Yorkers kunye nee-ferrets zinobudlelwane obudidekileyo. Kodwa ibali lokwenyani lalinzima ngakumbi kunayo nayiphi na ithiyori endakha ndaliva ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. *** U-Mustela putorius furo bebehlala ekhaya ubuncinci iminyaka engama-2 500. Ezinye iingcali ziqikelela ixesha elide kuneekati. Iindawo zokuhlala zabantu zakuqala, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba zikumNtla Afrika, zatsala iimpuku kunye neempuku ngokugcina ukutya. Iipolecats — apho kuveliswa khona ii-ferrets zasekhaya — zazisitya izinambuzane. Abo babethathwa njengesitshabalalisi esiyingozi ngokwabo babulawa, kwaye ekuphela kwabo basindayo ukuvelisa isizukulwana esilandelayo babengoyena ululamileyo, UGqirha Richard Bulliet, unjingalwazi wembali yase Columbia kunye nezifundo ngezilwanyana, undicacisele. Endle, izilwanyana ezinobulali ngaphakathi kohlobo alunanxaxheba kwisizukulwana esilandelayo kuba zibulawa ngamarhamncwa. Nangona kunjalo, kwimpucuko yakudala, ezo [zibekiweyo polecats] zazingatyiwa ngookhetshe, iinkozi, nezinto ezinjeya kuba abantu babulala iintshaba zabo. Utshilo uBulliet. Ngaphezulu kwama-20 ukuya kuma-30 ezizukulwana, iipolkats ziye zanda ngokuthe chatha, iincindi zamadlala zazo zinciphisa ubunzima ngamashumi asixhenxe anesihlanu eepesenti, zinciphisa umlo wabo okanye ubuchule bendiza kwaye babavumela ukuba bangenise ebantwini njengezilwanyana zasekhaya. Njengezinja, ii-ferrets zazisetyenziswa njengezixhobo zokuzingela — zigxotha imivundla emingxunyeni — zaze ekugqibeleni zaba ngamaqabane. Baye bathandwa njengezilwanyana zasekhaya ikakhulu eYurophu. (Ngapha koko, upeyintiwe nguLeonardo da Vinci oko kubonakala ngathi yi-ferret emhlophe phakathi Inenekazi eline-Ermine ). Ngama-1980, isilo-qabane esifuywayo sawela saya eMelika, apho abantu babedla ngokungazi ukuba isilwanyana siyintonga - njengoko iindaba ezininzi zisasaza njalo-okanye isilo sasendle esineenyawo ezimnyama zaseMelika — esinefoto rhoqo ivela ecaleni kweendaba zasekhaya zase-Europe . Iingxelo zeeminks ezihlasela abantu, okanye abantu be-feral stoat ngamanye amaxesha zazichazwa njenge-ferrets. I-cinema edumileyo yokuchwetheza i-ferret njenge-sidekick yasendle kunye ne-crazy. Kodwa kwihlabathi lokwenyani, ubukhulu becala ndalala iiyure ezili-18 ngosuku kwaye ndatya iipelethi zenkukhu. Amashumi amane anesibhozo amazwe athi ekugqibeleni amkele ii-ferrets njengezilwanyana zasekhaya ezisemthethweni, kubandakanya ilizwe laseNew York. Kodwa isiXeko saseNew York asikhange sifune ukutsiba kwi-bandwagon. I-Ferrets ayisosilwanyana sokuqala esiphikisayo esiphambili se-Apple. Kwimbali yayo yokuqala, iihagu zazingumgxeki ozikhethele i-NYC , kwaye izinja zasendle zazingumngcipheko wendawo. Zifumaneka rhoqo ezitalatweni kwii-lithographs zenkulungwane ye-19 , zibaleka kwaye zincothule inkunkuma— eyaqokelela phezulu kangangeenkulungwane kude kube isixeko sifaka ikhowudi yococeko. Kwinyanga enikiweyo kwii-1850s, uMhloli weSixeko wayeza kunika ingxelo ngokususwa kwamakhulu ezinja ezifileyo, iikati, iigusha, iibhokhwe kunye neenkuku kwindawo yomgwaqo. Imithetho yokuthintela iihagu zasekhaya ezitalatweni kukhokelele kwimilo eyahlukeneyo phakathi kwamaIreland namaAfrika aseMelika kunye nesiXeko kwinto eyaziwa ngokuba ziimbumbulu zehagu. Olo gonyamelo lwakhokelela kwi-1933 Code Sanitary esemthethweni, eyayibeka umgaqo-nkqubo othile kwizilwanyana ezinokuba zezesixekweni konke konke. ISebe lerekhodi le-NYC liphulukene noxwebhu, kodwa i-1943 Code Sanitary Appendix ikhomba ikhowudi yoqobo, apho icandelo lokugcina izilwanyana zasendle lingavumelekanga ubeka isithintelo kwiingonyama okanye iinyama ezingafakwanga, iibhere, iingcuka, iimpungutye, iinyoka okanye ezinye izilwanyana ezinolwazelelelo olufanayo. Ngo-1959 iKhowudi yoGutyulo yathatyathwa yiKhowudi yezeMpilo. IsiXeko siphulukene nolo xwebhu. Kodwa iSixeko sinaso isihlomelo ngo-1969 esichaza izilwanyana zasendle hayi ngokwenkcazo yesayensi, kodwa njengalo naluphi na uhlobo lwesixeko olubona ukuba luyingozi okanye ngokwemvelo luthanda ukwenza ingozi. Ikhankanya ukuba ezinye zasendle izilwanyana ezifana neentaka ngokwenyani aziyongozi, kwaye ezinye zezasekhaya Iintlobo zezinja zikhohlakele kwaye kufuneka ikhutshelwe ngaphandle. Iiferrets zazingachazwanga ngokukodwa; nangona kunjalo, kuyabonakala ukuba usapho lwezilwanyana kufuneka -Zonke iintlobo zazo zezasendle kodwa ii-ferrets-zafakwa kwinkcazo ethathwa njengesiXeko yezilwanyana zasendle. Ngeli xesha, inani elandayo labanini be-NYC ferret babehlala kwindawo engwevu, besithi izilwanyana zabo zazingezizo ezasendle ngokwenene, kodwa besoyika ukuthinjwa kuba babengekho kuluhlu olukhuselekileyo ngokusemthethweni. Ngama-1990, i-New York State yayilahlile imfuneko yokuba abanini be-ferret bafumane okuninzi njengemvume yezilwanyana zasekhaya. Kodwa ngoJuni 1999, iSebe lezeMpilo lesiXeko lakhupha uluhlu olupheleleyo lwezilwanyana ezivaliweyo ukuze zithathe indawo engacacanga kwezi ncwadi, livakalisa ukuba izilwanyana ezingekho mthethweni ezifunyenwe zilume iNew Yorker ziyaxelelwa kwaye zihlolisiswe kwangoko — ngaloo ndlela. Iiferrets zaxutywa kunye ne-weasel yazo yasendle kunye nabazala beebhokhwe, ekothuseni kwabameli be-ferret. Umntu uyazibuza ukuba yintoni ebangele le thintelo, utshilo uKenneth Cobb, uMkhomishinala oNcedisayo kwiSebe lezeNkcukacha le-NYC, ongafumani ngxelo yokuba kutheni i-ferrets iphakathi kwezilwanyana zasekhaya kuphela ezingavumelekanga. Abathetheleli bezilwanyana zasekhaya babanga ukuba ukhuthazo yayileta eyilahlekisayo ethunyelwe kwiSebe lezeMpilo ngugqirha wezilwanyana oziikhilomitha ezingama-250 ukusuka eNew Hampshire. Ifanisa ii-ferrets namantshontsho engwe kwaye yaqinisekisa-ngobungqina obungeyonyani-ukuba ii-ferrets zinento yokuhlafuna iintsana. Abantu be-ferret basimangalela isixeko. *** Ongasekhoyo umgwebi u-Allen G. Schwartz, ubulungisa kwezomthetho obonyulwe kwityala lamalungelo e-ferret ka-1999, wayengumthandi wezilwanyana kwaye engumnikazi wenja egama linguWinnie the Poodle, ngokwentombi yakhe, uRachel. Iqela labanini be-ferret ababezulazule kwindlu yakhe yenkundla yayiliqela le-motley, umfazi oneenwele ezipinki embindini. Babanga ukwaphulwa kwamalungelo alinganayo-uhlobo olunzima kakhulu lwamatyala ukubonisa, wachaza uRebecca Wisch, uMhleli oDibeneyo weZilwanyana kwezomthetho nakwiziko lembali kwiYunivesithi yaseMichigan State. Abamangali kwakufuneka babonise ubungqina obucacileyo nobukholisayo bokuba umthetho awuhambisani nomgaqo-siseko. Lo ngumgangatho ophezulu kakhulu, U-Wisch undixelele. Isixeko sasifuna kuphela ukubonisa ukuba lo mthetho ukhusela impilo, ukhuseleko kunye nentlalontle yabemi bawo. Ukhuselo luthandabuza ubunyani kunye nomdla wabamangali ’ amangqina amabini, ugqirha wabantwana kunye nogqirha onabazali abanefama enkulu yokuzala (iMarshall Farms). Indawo yokufikisa ayiphumelelanga ukucela umngeni ngempumelelo kumangqina esiXeko, akukho namnye kubo obonakala ngathi wayenobungcali kwezenzululwazi kwi-ferrets-ngaphandle komnye uGqirha Charles Rupprecht, umphandi oyintloko wamarabi kwiCenters for Disease Control owayekongamele uphuhliso lweyeza lokugonya i-ferret. Nangona ii-lobretists ze-ferret besele zinengxoxo yezomthetho ebuthathaka (apho kuya kufuneka babonakalise ucalucalulo ngokusekwe kwinto ehlawuliswe ngobuhlanga, inkolo, njlnjl.), Uninzi lwengxoxo enkundleni yayijolise ekubeni ii-ferrets zizilwanyana zasendle. Ngokutsho kobungqina bukaMartin Kurtz, uMlawuli we-Bureau yeNkonzo yezeMpilo yoLuntu, iiFerrets zihlala zithande ukuhlaselwa ngabantu, ingakumbi abantwana neentsana, inkundla yarekhoda. UKurtz wayengenabo ubuchwephesha kule ndawo buqu. Wabane ndarhoxa kwibhodi yeZiko loKhathalelo lweZilwanyana noLawulo ngo-1997 emva kokuba etyholwa ngokuphatha kakubi isixeko senkqubo yokufihla izilwanyana. Obona bungqina bukhankanyiweyo bokuxhasa ibango likaKurtz yayisisifundo sango-1988 eCalifornia esabizwa Izilwanyana zasekhaya zaseYurophu: Iingozi kwiMpilo yoLuntu, eyathi iintsana zibonwa ngeeferrets njengexhoba. Kwisithuba seminyaka elishumi, uphononongo lubonise, iintsana ezingama-62 kunye nabantwana kumazwe ali-18 bahlaselwe bengakhange babenasizathu. Nangona kunjalo, uviwo lwe isifundo ityhila ubunzululwazi obuhlwempuzekileyo. Igunyaziswe yingcali ye-bat rabies kunye nomphathi wezempilo, ithatha kwimithombo ethandabuzekayo, kubandakanya incwadi ka-1837 ngugqirha wamazinyo wase-Bhritane kunye nozilwanyana wezilwanyana u-Thomas Bell owathi i-ferret iyonwabile livumba kunye nokunambitheka kwegazi. Olu xwebhu, olungaxhaswanga yinzululwazi, lwaba bubungqina kuxwebhu lowe-1988, nelathi ke laba bubungqina obuphambili kwityala lenkundla lowe-1999. Uhlaselo lwama-62 olukhankanyiweyo kolu phononongo aluzange lubonelele ngokubaluleka kwamanani ukufikelela kwizigqibo ezenziwa ngababhali, kwaye ngelixa uhlaselo ezintlanu lwalufuna utyando lokwakha ngokutsha-into eyoyikekayo emntwaneni ukuba ayifune- kwangelo xesha linye kuqikelelwa ukuba yizinja ezingama-300,000 zaseMelika ezilumayo Kwakufuneka olu tyando. Phantse i-100,000 yokuhlaselwa kweenja zenzeka kwisiXeko saseNew York kuphela ngelo xesha. (Isixeko sikwabhale phantsi i-10 ferret, ngaphezulu kwe-2,500 ikati, i-37 yomvundla, kunye ne-52 ye hamster.) Ityala elothusayo liye laxelwa kule minyaka idlulileyo yokuhlafunwa kweentsana iindlebe, iminwe, kunye neenkophe. Ugqirha Erika Matulich, unjingalwazi wentengiso ngoku kwiDyunivesithi yaseTampa kunye nomnini weefreyiti ezintandathu, ubanga ukuba uye waphanda zonke izehlo ezichazwe esidlangalaleni zokuhlaselwa komntwana e-US ukuze anike ubungqina ngee-ferrets kwingingqi yaseTexas ngo-1999. Into endiyifumeneyo kukuba kuzo zonke iimeko, i-ferret ibikwimo yokuxhatshazwa okanye yendlala, wandixelela. Inxulumene noninzi lala matyala ayanyaniswa amatyala okuphathwa gadalala kwabantwana nawo. Umzekelo wakutshanje wale meko yaziswa kakhulu ngo-2011 apho isibini esineenyanga ezine ubudala saseMissouri sasineminwe esixhenxe ehlafunwe yindlala yomntwana olambileyo. Ibali kutshanje iphele ngesicelo senetyala sokubeka esichengeni ngokutshintshela isigwebo esincinci kubazali , ngubani ojamelene nexesha lasejele. Idatha yeselfowuni ityhila ukuba, nangona bebanga ukuba bebelele, abazali banako ndishiye umntwana yedwa ekhaya . Abachasi beFerret abakhange bayiphikise ibango likaMatulich, nangona ndingakhange ndikwazi ukuyiqinisekisa. Izibalo, nangona kunjalo, zibonisa ukuba umntu ngamnye, ii-ferrets azifane zenzakalise kunezinja. Umbutho WezeMpilo Wehlabathi uqikelelo malunga ne-4.5 yezigidi zokulunywa yinja kwenzeka ngonyaka eMelika. Phakathi kwe-13 kunye ne-20 yokufa kwenja kubikwa minyaka le, uninzi lwabo ngabantwana. Ngo-2012, i-retriever yegolide waqhekeza umntwana eneenyanga ezimbini ubudala eMzantsi Carolina. Kwakuloo nyaka, uJack Russell wabulala usana olusandul 'ukuzalwa yomama okwishumi elivisayo eNgilani. Kunyaka ophelileyo, ipakethi ye-chihuahuas utyumle umntwana oneminyaka emi-6 ubudala eOregon. Kulo nyaka, umntwana oneminyaka emi-3 ubudala ibulawa ngumngxuma wommelwane . (Umniniyo wayeneminyaka engama-24 ubudala umama wabantwana abathathu.) Kwaye nomntwana wase-South Wales yayityiwe intloko nguMalamute ngoFebruwari. Ngokwe-Dogsbite.org engenzi nzuzo , ukulunywa yinja kwenzeka rhoqo kwimizuzwana engama-75 e-U.S. ukuvelisa ngaphezulu kokutyelelwa okungaphezulu kwe-1 000 ER ngosuku. Iikati nazo azinakusoleka. Ngapha koko, indoda esele ikhulile yathunyelwa esibhedlele ngenqwelo-moya emva kokuba ikati yakhe yendlu imhlasele Ngo-2011. Inkundla yase-New York ka-1999, nangona kunjalo, yagqiba ekubeni ngenxa yokuba i-ferret ayikwazi ukuqikelelwa ngokuthembekileyo, iipesenti zokuluma i-ferret zingaphakama kunokuba zicingelwa ngoku, nangona izibalo ezisekelwe kwisixa sokutya kwe-ferret esithengiswa e-US kubonisa ukuba i-ferrets ngamaxesha amaninzi mancinci amathuba okuluma umntu kunenja. Ndihlala ndicebisa ukuba abantwana babekwe esweni nanini na xa bedlala nezilwanyana zasekhaya, Ugqirha Shachar Malka, I-diplomate ABVP kwi-Humane Society yaseNew York kwaye enye yeengcali zezilwanyana zasekhaya ezingaqhelekanga ezili-150 zohlobo lwakhe ehlabathini, undixelele. Kodwa ndinokuxelela, ndilunywe ziiparakeet, iihamsters kunye neebhedgehogs ngaphezulu kokuba ndikhe ndalunywa yi-ferret. Nokuba yeyiphi na, inkundla ibhengeze ukuba izibalo ze-ferret kunye nezinja ngama-apile xa kuthelekiswa neeorenji. Inkundla yaqhubeka ixhalabile ngokuba i-pet ferrets inokubumba abantu besixeko, okanye i-rabid. Iziganeko ezibini zeeferal ferret colonies e-US zakhankanywa njengobungqina. Nangona kunjalo, ezi kholoni zibandakanyeka ngabom zazisa i-ferrets ngenjongo yokuzalisa endle ukubulala izinambuzane. Ngokwazi kwam, inani lezilwanyana zasekhaya [izilwanyana ezibalekileyo] i-ferrets zange zabhalwa, Ugqirha Malka undixelele. Iiferrets ziyinyumba ngexesha zithengiswa kwiivenkile zezilwanyana, watsho. Kwizilwanyana zasekhaya ’ ityala, wathi, Le phantse yintsomi yokuba banokuphila endle. Ugqirha Rupprecht we-CDC ubeke umbuzo werabi ekuphumleni. Sasinesitofu esigunyazisiweyo. Sibonise ukuba ii-ferrets zichithe intsholongwane yomgada ematheni ngendlela efanayo neyenziwa ziinja neekati, wandixelela. Yamkelwa sisiQinisekiso soThintelo noLawulo lweeRabies zezilwanyana. Amanye amangqina enkundla alila umgada. Ubungqina obungavumelekanga abuzange buchithwe, kwaye inkundla yathi ekubeni ubunini be-ferret 'bunokuxoxwa' umbuzo, Ukuvalwa kweSixeko kwakungekho mgaqweni. Indawo yokwamkela iindwendwe yaphulukana netyala. Kwisibhengezo seendaba esalandelayo, uMkomishinala wezeMpilo uNeal L. Cohen wacengceleza enye inkxalabo waziswa luphando lwaseCalifornia. Kwiindawo zokuhlala ezininzi, ezingezizo iindawo zokuhlala zendalo ze-ferrets, i-ferret inokukhasa kwimingxunya eludongeni okanye ihambe ngeerisers okanye imibhobho iye kwenye indlu, uthe. Iziphumo ezinokubakho kummelwane womnini we-ferret, ngakumbi kummelwane wosana, kunokuba buhlungu. Ugqirha Malka uqinisekisile ukuba le nto zange yenzeke eNew York, kwaye akukho ngxelo inokufunyanwa kwezi zinto zenzeke eTokyo, eToronto, naseChicago. *** Abantu be-ferret bahlala kwilahleko yabo. Bathumela umgca-ngomgca wokuchasana kwi-intanethi. Bakhupha umbhali-wegama ongaziwayo, kwaye, umbhali wandixelela, bamhlukumeza ukuya kwinqanaba loxinzelelo. Babetha amalungu ebhunga kunye namagosa ezempilo ngomsindo kunye neefowuni. Mhlawumbi yiloo nto ngo-2001 iBhunga lesiXeko lapasisa ivoti yokuguqula ngokusemthethweni ukuvalwa kwaye kwenziwe ngalo. Nangona kunjalo, uSodolophu uGiuliani uvotile. Uye wathelekisa ii-ferrets ezisemthethweni nokufaka ii-tiger ngokusemthethweni, kwaye abameli be-ferret bathi elinye ilungu lebhunga libize iqela, Abathandi be-Evil ferret. Nangona evakalisa ukungakhathali INew York Times Kwihlobo ephelileyo, uGiuliani wayedume ngokuthanda umcimbi we-ferret. Isikhokelo sokuba kutheni ivela i-ferret yakhe edumileyo NgoJulayi 1999 apho wabiza igqwetha, uDavid Guthartz, waphazamiseka. Ngokuqinisekileyo, usodolophu wayeyinto ehlekisayo, kodwa kwakutheni ukuze abaleke aye kude nomqheba? Kuyabonakala ukuba uGuthartz wayekhe wahlukumeza uGiuliani okwethutyana, ngendlela efanayo nentshutshiso yabanye abaphikisi be-ferret njenge-vet yaseNew Hampshire-ade abize ezinzulwini zobusuku. Mhlawumbi usodolophu wenziwa urhwaphilizo ngenxa yezi ngenelelo? Okanye mhlawumbi wayezithiyile i-ferrets? Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, ngaloo rant, imeko ye-NYC ferret iguqulwe ukusuka kwimiba yesayensi engaqondakaliyo ukuya kubuntu obugqithisileyo. Uphando lwamva nje luzichasile iimpikiswano kwityala lika-1999. I-CDC ibone ngokusemthethweni ukuba i-ferrets ikhuselekile. A Isifundo se-2010 California ziphikisiwe amabango esi sifundo sango-1988. Ukugqabhuka kweengcali kuthethile ngaphandle kweeferrets. Ezinye izixeko ezikhulu zavumela i-ferrets ngaphandle kwesehlo esikhulu. Kwaye siye safumanisa ukuba abantu bayaluma abantu ngaphezu kwe-ferrets ukuluma abantu, kwaye ukulunywa kwabantu kusulelwa yipesenti embi yexesha. Okwangoku, ubunini be-ferret eNew York buye benziwa ngokusemthethweni. Nangona kunjalo, ngokungafaniyo nabachasi bolunye ulwaphulo-mthetho, njengokufumana intsangu, abachasi be-ferret babonakala ngathi abafuni ukuthetha ngalo mbandela. UGqirha Cohen wenqabile ukuthetha kwirekhodi ngezizathu ezininzi. Ugqirha wezilwanyana ongaziwayo wandicenga ukuba ndigcine igama lakhe ngaphandle kwebali, esithi unqwenela ukuba angaze abhale le leta. Ukuba bendinokuphinda ndiyibhale le leta namhlanje ndingacebisa ilayisensi ye-ferrets endaweni yokuvalwa, uthe. Ngokuqinisekileyo kukho isixa esikhulu somonakalo owenziwe zizinja. Iofisi yoonondaba kaGiuliani yayizimisele ukuthetha nam, de ive ukuba isihloko besiyi-ferrets, emva koko ale ukwenza umnxeba. UGqr Kurtz ngoku ubonakala esebenzela umvelisi we-dessert e-Illinois kwaye akunakunxibelelana naye. Ujaji Schwartz usweleke, kodwa intombi yakhe ithe yayixolile malunga netyala. Ingqina ekukuphela kwalo elangazelela ukuthetha yayinguGqirha Rupprecht, okwenzekileyo ekuphela kwakhe ososayensi enkundleni, kwaye nangona kungekho buhlobo bodwa kwi-ferrets endixelele, Ngaba ikhona into exhasayo apho malunga nokuba kutheni i-ferrets kufuneka ingabikho mthethweni ngaphezu kwezinja okanye iikati? Andicingi njalo. Uqhubeke wathi, ukuba kukho nantoni na, mancinci amathuba okuba semngciphekweni kwiSixeko saseNew York njengoko ubunokwenza kwimimandla yasemaphandleni. Nangona ndandisoyika ngesilwanyana saseNew York City ngokubanzi, iiferrets zezilwanyana zazimangalisile. UGrizz, ngoku oswelekileyo, wakha waluma umntwana oneminyaka emithathu elunyaweni emva kokuba umntwana oneminyaka emithathu emkhabe eludongeni. Ngaphandle koko, zange baziphathe zasendle-kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo azikho zasendle njengeebhokhwe ezinobuqhetseba ekhaya ekhaya labazali bam, okanye inja yommelwane edlamkileyo ebulala iinkukhu zabo. Nokuba nguGrizz okanye Peanut, ngoku ohlala eNew Mexico, wakha wakhasa kuyo nayiphi na imingxunya. Ibhodi yezeMpilo ye-NYC ibambe indibano yoluntu malunga ne-ferrets ngoJanuwari 21, kwaye iceba ukuvota kwisindululo kungekudala. I-paranoia yam iya kuqhubeka de ubuncinci ngelo xesha, nangona ngoku igutyungelwe luloyiko lokuba ngenye imini ndizifumene ndiphethe i-ferrets kunye nokukhwaza kubasebenzi bakarhulumente, ndizibuza ukuba ndifike njani kweli nqanaba. Kodwa okwangoku, ukuba i-NYPD ifunda eli bali kwaye iza kubanjwa kwam, nceda ubaxelele ukuba bayeke ngendlu yommelwane wam ngamatye, nabo.
Bona zaziyi-ferrets. Peanut kunye neGrizz. Ubukhulu becala ubungakanani kunye nokuhambelana kwesitokhwe esigcwele isanti, zazinesimilo samantshontsho ekati kwaye zenza isiphithiphithi seempuku. Ifezekile kwigumbi lethu lendlu yasekhitshini laseHell's 300.
