Izimpawu ezengeziwe ezimfundeni ziyaxwayisa: “Ayikho indlu yangasese yezinja lapha”. Kodwa kubopha kangakanani ukuvinjelwa okunjalo? Isicelo kubameli ababili bamalungelo ezilwane siletha ukukhanya ebumnyameni.
Selokhu athutha, uNicole Müller* noChico wakhe kuye kwadingeka bagijime njalo ekuseni ukuze bachame. Empeleni, ufuna nje ukuhlanza inja yakhe yesilisa ngaphambi kokuba ithole isidlo sasekuseni. “Phela nathi bantu sifuna ukuya endlini yangasese ngaphambi kokuba sidle i-muesli yethu,” kusho uMüller. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inja egcwele isisu lapho ihamba isengozini yokuba nesisu esisontekile.
Wenza izibalo ngaphandle kwezakhamuzi zendawo. “Omunye umakhelwane akawufuni umchamo wenja othangweni lwakhe,” kusho uMüller. “Lona omunye umakhelwane, usememezele indawo engaphesheya komgwaqo njengendawo engafanele, nakuba ngihlala ngicosha indle.” Ngakho-ke, oneminyaka engu-34 ubudala kufanele aqale amqondise u-Chico wakhe amakhulu amamitha adlule uthango nezimfunda ngaphambi kokuthi ekugcineni aphakamise umlenze wakhe enze umsebenzi wakhe omkhulu. UMüller akazi noma uvunyelwe ngempela ukwenza lokho lapho, eduze kwesihlahla esisemgwaqweni. “Okungenani akekho oseke wakhononda lapha.” Iqiniso lokuthi ocingweni oluya emfuleni eduze kwesihlahla kukhona uphawu olunqabela ngokungananazi inja ukwenza ibhizinisi elikhulu akusizi ngempela ukucacisa isimo. “Kancane kancane angisazi ukuthi ngingamhlanza kuphi uChico,” kusho umnikazi wezinja.
Ilawulwa Emithethweni Yezinja kanye ne-ZGB
Ingayaphi inja uma kufanele? Futhi ingabe ukulungiswa kwezinja kulawulwa umthetho? Ebhekene nale mibuzo, ummeli kanye nommeli wezinja uDaniel Jung ubhekisela emithethweni ye-canton mayelana nobunikazi bezinja. “Ngamunye uhlinzeka ngesibopho sokudla okunendle kwesinye isikhathi esiklanywe ngokuningiliziwe ngendlela ehlukile,” kusho uJung. I-Zurich Dog Law of 2010, isibonelo, ithi ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi “Ukususwa kwendle yenja” ukuthi inja kumele igadwe uma ihamba “ukuze izindawo ezilinywayo nezokungcebeleka zingangcoliswa indle”. Indle ezindaweni okuhlalwa kuzo nezolimo kanye nasemigwaqweni nasezindleleni kufanele “zisuswe ngendlela efanele”. Umthetho wezinja waseCanton of Thurgau uthi indawo egandayiwe nemigwaqo yezinyawo, amapaki, izikole, izindawo zokudlala nezemidlalo, izingadi, izimfunda namasimu emifino akufanele kungcoliswe futhi indle kumelwe isuswe ngendlela efanele. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, emthethweni wezinja waseBernese, lisho ngamafuphi: “Noma ubani ohambisa inja kufanele akhiphe ubulongwe bayo.”
Lesi sibopho somthetho womphakathi sokurekhoda lapho uhlanza izinja sithinta kuphela indle yenja kusho, Jung. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi umchamo awukwazi ukumunca futhi, ngaphandle kokunye, awunayo inkinga uma ungenzeki ngobuningi.” Lokhu kuphinde kuqinisekiswe ngu-Antoine Goetschel, ummeli kanye nowayengummeli wezilwane eZurich kanye noMongameli wenhlangano yeGlobal Animal Law (GAL). Uphinde abhekisele kumgomo wokulinganisa kanye “nesithunzi sesidalwa” esivikelwe ngokomthetho. “Uma inja iphuma emafulethini ekuseni bese ikhipha amanzi kafushane esihlahleni esiseduze – futhi kusobala ukuthi ibingenalo ithuba lokwenza kanjalo ebusuku – lokhu kuhambisana nesidingo ‘sesilwane’, esidingekayo umbono wesithunzi sakhe kanye nomthetho womthetho Umgomo wokulingana kufanele ucatshangelwe.”
Ngokungeziwe emithethweni yezinja ze-canton, uma kuziwa ekuhlanzweni kwezinja, isimiso somthetho we-civil siyasebenza sokuthi akumele ulimaze muntu. “Lokhu kungahlanganisa ukuchama ezintweni ezibucayi njengezimoto, izikhwama zokuthenga noma obhasikidi bokugeza,” kuchaza uDaniel Jung. Lokhu kuzobe sekufanele kusetshenziswe ngokuyinhloko ngaphansi komthetho womphakathi kanye nezicelo zomonakalo.
Izimpawu Eziyisibopho Ziyabiza
Izimpawu ezivimbelayo ezithi “Ayikho indlu yangasese yezinja lapha!”, ezitholakala ku-inthanethi noma ezitolo ze-hardware, zibophezela ngokusemthethweni kancane, kusho uJung. “Uma inja iyazikhulula edlelweni naphezu kophawu futhi le ndle iyasuswa ngaphandle kokushiya noma yimuphi umonakalo, umnikazi wenja akasongelwa nganoma iyiphi ingozi.” Umnikazi wendawo akavunyelwe ukusabalalisa izinhlawulo ngenxa yamabhodi ezimemezelo akhiwe ngasese, njengoba no-Antoine Goetschel eqinisekisa.
NgokukaJung, noma ubani ofuna ukuvikela impahla yakhe ngokusemthethweni ekuhlanzeni izinja udinga lokho okubizwa ngokuthi yijaji elilodwa lomthetho ovimbela abantu abangagunyaziwe ukushayela nokungena endaweni besongelwa inhlawulo efinyelela ku-2,000 francs. “Ukuvinjelwa okunjalo kuvame ukushicilelwa kugazethi esemthethweni futhi kumakwe esizeni ngemingcele nezimpawu ezibonakala ngokucacile,” kusho uDaniel Jung. "Lokhu kuhambisana nezindleko ezithile, kodwa kusho ukuthi abantu noma izinja azivunyelwe ukungena kule ndawo."
Uma uJung enendlela yakhe, u-Chico angakwazi - ngaphandle uma umthetho wezinja ze-canton usho okuhlukile - enze ibhizinisi lakhe endaweni engabiyelwe endaweni uma uMüller esusa inqwaba futhi kungekho mthetho ovinjelwayo. Lokhu, noma ngabe idlelo lingelamuntu oyimfihlo futhi uphawu lwesitolo sezingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha luvimbela izinja ukuthi zizikhiphe indle.
U-Antoine Goetschel uthatha umbono ofanayo: Uma umnikazi wendawo ezizwa ekhathazwa izinja ezizikhululayo kanye nabanikazi bazo, angamelana nalokhu ngokubiyela indawo yakhe noma ngokukhipha ukuvinjelwa okuvamile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, angaphinde athathele abanikazi abangamukelekile izinyathelo zomthetho uma enxusa lokho okubizwa “ngenkululeko yobunikazi” futhi ebamangalela ngokungakwenzi lokho uma kwenzeka kuphinda isigameko. "Le ndlela ayishibhile futhi ayinabungozi, kuyadingeka ukufakazela ukuphinda kwenzeke," kusho uGoetschel.
Ukuthi umnikazi wendawo uyafuna yini ukuhileleka ekuhwebeni okunjalo okungokomthetho? Ikakhulukazi uma engazizwa ecasulwe umnikazi wenja, kusho uGoetschel. "Futhi ukuya enkantolo ngenxa yenja echama lapha nalaphaya othangweni akwenzeki." Ekugcineni, kuyodingeka kufakazelwe ukuthi umnikazi wendawo empeleni uzizwa ekhathazekile, okufanele kusetshenziswe izindinganiso eziqondile zabantu abanengqondo nabalungile, kuchaza uGoetschel. “Ngokombono wobugebengu, kuzomele kube nezimo ezikhetheke kakhulu ukuthi abanikazi bezinja ezizikhulula endaweni eseduze bazogwetshwa ngokungena ngaphandle kwemvume noma ukucekela phansi impahla ngesicelo somnikazi wendawo.”
Ehlathini, Kunesibopho Sokuqoqa Indle
Konke lokhu kuyasebenza nasehlathini, kusho uGoetschel. Ingabanikazi abahlukene abangu-250,000 eSwitzerland, cishe abangu-244,000 ingxenye enkulu yangasese. Empeleni, isibopho sokuthatha indle siyasebenza lapha. Ekugcineni, uGoetschel uveza ukuthi abanikazi bomhlaba akudingeki babekezelele indle yezinja engacoshwa, ngisho nasehlathini. Endabeni yabenzi bomthetho abaphindayo, bangaphinde bacabangele icala elingelona lobunikazi.
U-Nicole Müller uqinisekisiwe. Ingxoxo ecacisayo nomakhelwane yehlulekile. “Sikhuluma sidlula sodwa.” Okungenani useyazi manje ukuthi kuthatha malini ngaphambi kokuba azenze icala njengomnikazi wezinja. Uma nje ngihlala ngicosha indle futhi ngingamvumeli uChico angene emagcekeni abiyelwe, ngeke kube nenkinga.” Kumelwe kwethenjwa ukuthi omakhelwane babo bayasazi isaga u-Antoine Goetschel asikhumbulayo ngokuqulwa kweziphathimandla nezinkantolo: “Noma ubani odoba udoti, uyawina noma ehluliwe, uhamba engcolile.”
