Izinja eziphekiweyo ziboniswa kwivenkile yomthengisi e-Yulin, kwiphondo lase-Guangxi elisemazantsi e-China kwangoko nge-22 kaJuni, 2015. Esi sixeko sibambe umnyhadala waminyaka le onikezelwe kwinyama yesilwanyana kwi-solstice yehlobo ethe yabangela ukwanda okwandayo kubaphembeleli bokukhusela izilwanyana.(Ifoto: Johannes Eisele / AFP / Getty Izithombe) Rhoqo ngonyakaNge-20 kaJuni, isixeko saseYulin kwiphondo laseGuangzi e-China sibambe umnyhadala wokutya inyama yenja. Phakathi Izinja ezili-10 kunye nezigidi ezingama-20 Babulawa eTshayina minyaka le, kunye nomnyhadala wase-Yulin-oxhela ngeenxa zonke Izinja ezingama-10,000 -Iye yangumfuziselo wenkohlakalo kunye nendlela engenabuntu ekuphathwa ngayo izinja kwihlabathi liphela.
Ngo-2015, uxinzelelo olukhulu lwabekwa kumagosa amaTshayina, kwaye ngoncedo lwabantu abadumileyo abafana nosomaqhula uRicky Gervais okhuthaza i-hashtag # StopYulin2015, ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezine zokutyikitywa zifunyenwe kwidijithali uxwebhu lwezikhalazo ukumisa umthendeleko. Kunyaka ophelileyo, ngo-2014, amatshantliziyo enza inkqubela phambili ebonakalayo xa amagosa esiXeko saseYulin mgama ngokwabo kumnyhadala, benqaba ukusebenza njengomxhasi wawo.
Ngelixa kwiindawo ezininzi zehlabathi kukho ubudlelwane phakathi kwabantu nezinja okuthintela ukuxhelwa kwezinja zenyama yazo, eYulin nakwamanye amazwe e-China ukutya izinja kuyinto eqhelekileyo. Ukuzikhusela kwabo, abahlali baseYulin bathi isenzo eso sihlolwe ngokungenabulungisa. Ewe kunjalo, amanye amazwe ayazitya izilwanyana — kodwa urhwebo lwenyama yenja eTshayina ludume kakubi ngokusebenzisa izilwanyana zasekhaya ezibhaduliweyo kunye nezilahlekileyo. A ingxelo eqhutywa ziZilwanyana zaseAsia ngo-2015 zafumanisa ukuba uninzi lwezinja zifunyenwe zorhwebo lwenyama yenja ngobusela, ukubanjwa kwezinto ezilahlekileyo kunye nokuthenga izinja ezingaphezulu kubathengisi okanye kwiindawo zokufihla inja. Ukufuya izinja ngenjongo yokutya inyama, iqela lifumene, kunqabile-ngenxa yeendleko eziphezulu zokondla izinja kunye nokuzigcina zisempilweni. Kulo nyaka, amatshantliziyo ezilwanyana aphinda ngokucinezela I-China iphelise umnyhadala kwaye yenze umthetho ukwenza ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwezinja kunye neekati kungabikho semthethweni.
Ngelixa uninzi lwabantu e-China lungasokuze lutye inja, inyama ihlala iyinto emnandi kwiindawo ezininzi zeli kwaye umzi-mveliso uthatha ukuphathwa gadalala kwezilwanyana ukuya kubukhulu obungaziwayo kwiindawo ezininzi zehlabathi. Abanye babanini beevenkile babulala izinja ngeklabhu phantsi kwe inkolelo ukuba iadrenaline eveliswa ziintlungu kunye noloyiko lwezilwanyana yenza inyama yazo ingcamle ngcono. Ukubuyela umva kunyuse kuphela isisombululo sabemi abaninzi baseYulin ukugcina umthendeleko, ngokwe Ngo-2014 Iindaba zeVice ingxelo .
Ukuba asikwazi ukuhlonipha uhlobo olunobudlelwane obusondeleyo kunye nobobuqu kunye nathi, abukho obunye ubudlelwane kulo mhlaba bume ithuba.

Impikiswano yokuba kuncinci ukucaphuka ngokusetyenziswa kwezinye izilwanyana ayisebenzi xa kuziwa ekusetyenzisweni kwenyama yenja, kwaye i-ethnocentrism ayisosizathu sokuxolela iindlela zokubulala ezoyikekayo e-China.
Izinja kunye nabantu bavela ngokulandelelana kwaye bakhulisa ubudlelwane obuxhomekeke kubuntu okoko izilwanyana zazifuywe. Ngapha koko, iintlobo zethu zidibene kangangokuba u-2013 ukufunda yiYunivesithi yaseChicago yafumanisa ukuba inja kunye ne-genomes yabantu ziye zavela ngokuhambelana kumawaka eminyaka.
Baye baqweqwedisa indlela yabazali ebuchotsheni, besenza ukuba sibakhathalele phantse ngendlela efanayo esibakhathalele ngayo abantwana bethu, wabhala watsho ugqirha wamandulo uGqirha Frans de Waal kwincwadi yakhe yamva nje, Ngaba zilumkile ngokwaneleyo ukuba zazi ukuba ziZilwanyana eziNgcono kanjani? Abanini bezinja abajonge emehlweni esilwanyana sabo bafumana ukonyuka okukhawulezileyo kwe-oxytocin-neuropeptide ebandakanyeka ekuncamathiseni nasekuqiniseni.
Azikho ezinye iintlobo eziphakathi ikhonkco nge-oxytocin eyakhe yaqwalaselwa, isenza ubudlelwane phakathi kwezinja nabantu bahluke ngenene-ke ayothusi into yokuba umnyhadala wokubhiyozela ukubulawa nokutya izinja ufumene ukugxekwa okungaka. Urhulumente wase-China ubabeke phantsi abanyanzeli bezilwanyana ngokunyanzela umnyhadala ukuba usebenze ngasemva kweengcango ezivaliweyo, ezinokubangela ukuphathwa gadalala nokuphathwa gadalala kwezilwanyana.
Ngomnyhadala ka-2016 osondela kuloJuni, ngethemba lokuba ingqumbo evela kuluntu lwamanye amazwe izakuxhokonxa iChina ukuba ithathe amanyathelo afanelekileyo kwaye ivalwe lo mkhuba kube kanye. Ayisiyongxaki nje yenkcubeko; ukuba asikwazi ukuhlonipha uhlobo olunobudlelwane obusondeleyo nobobuqu kunye nathi, abukho obunye ubudlelwane kulo mhlaba obume ithuba.
