I-Philadelphia Zoo yamemezela ngo-Oktobha 5, 2006 isigqibo sabo sokuvala umboniso wayo weendlovu kwintwasahlobo ka-2007 kwaye idlulisele zonke iindlovu zazo kwezinye iindawo.
Izindlovu ezintathu ze-zoo zaseAfrika, uPetal (50), uKallie (24) kunye noBette (23) baya kutsho kwi-Maryland Zoo eBaltimore. Indlovu ye-zoo yase-Asia kuphela, i-Dulary (42), iya ku-Sondon ye-Elephant Sanctuary eTennessee.
Uxinzelelo olunzima ukufudukela kwiNdlovu zeNdlovu
I-zoo iphantsi koxinzelelo iminyaka emininzi ukusuka kumaqela afana nabahlobo be-Philly Zoo Elephants kunye ne-Save Elephants e-Zoos ukufumana amakhaya angcono kwiindlovu zazo ezine.
La maqela achaza ukuba izindlovu zidinga indawo eninzi kunye neemeko zendalo ezingaphezu kwezona zinto zikhoyo kwiindawo ezininzi zezilwanyana emhlabeni jikelele. Iindlovu ezine ngoku zihlala kwidire ye-ekre kunye ne-1,800-square-foot-foot barn eyakhiwe kuma-1940.
Impembelelo yokuLawulwa kweziNtu
Isimo seFiladelphia saziswa ngentloko ngezinto ezimbini ezibalulekileyo. Okokuqala, ngelixa iindlovu ezindala zodwa, uPetal noDulary behlala ndawonye ngokuthula iminyaka emininzi, ukuqaliswa kweendlovu ezimbini ezincinane, uKallie noBette, ngo-Epreli 2004 batshintshisa ubomi obuqilileyo. Indlovu yaseAsia, i-Dulary, yabangela ukulimala kwamehlo ngo-Agasti 2005 ekulweni nendlovu encinane yaseAfrika, uBette. Ukuqhawulwa kwamatyala kuye kwahlukana nabanye ukususela kuloo xesha kwaye uxinzelelo luye lwaba lukhulu ukumfumana ikhaya elitsha.
ISigqibo se-Scrap Plans kwi-Exhibit entsha
I-zoo yayithembele ukubandakanya indlovu entsha ye-2.5-acre kwiprojekti yokuphucula iiprojekthi ezibandakanya iPeco Primate Reserve, iBhan of America Big Cat Falls kunye ne-Bird House entsha kunye ne-Children's Zoo.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, i-zoo yawa phantsi izicwangciso zemiboniso entsha yeendlovu ekhankanya ubunzima ekukhuliseni i-$ 22 yezigidi eziya kufunwa. Ukususela kwixesha elenziwe isigqibo, kwakubonakala kucacile ukuba kwakuphela nje ixesha ngaphambi kokuba izindlu zendlovu zihanjiswe.
I-zoo igcinwe iminyaka kangangokuba umboniso wabo okhoyo uhlangabezana nemigangatho kazwelonke yokunyamekela indlovu kwaye eqinisweni xa kuthelekiswa namanye ama-zoos afana neZwe zoZwelonke eWashington, umboniso ufana nokubonakala.
Ngokucacileyo, nangona kunjalo, ingcinezelo yangaphandle edlalwa indima njengengxaki yezimali ekugqityweni kwesigqibo se-zoo.
Impembelelo yokulahlekelwa kweendlovu kwi-Philadelphia Zoo
Ngokomntu ndifumanisa ukuba oku kuyisidabu, kodwa isilungileyo. Izindlovu ziye zihlala zihlala emibonweni yam intandokazi kwi-zoo kunye nenye yezona ziintandane ezidumileyo kuzo zonke iindwendwe. Unyango olwenziwe yizindlovu kwi-zoo yaseFiladelphia lubonakala lubhetele kangcono kunokuba izindlovu zifumaneke kwii-circuses. Ixesha lazo zilwanyana ezihle kakhulu zasendle zihlala zininzi. Amanani ezindlovu kwizilwanyana zasendle zaseAfrika naseAsia ziyaqhubeka nokuhla ekuxhaseni kwabantu kunye nokusondeza. Kubonakala ukuba umhla uya kuza xa iindlovu kuphela eziphilayo zizobanjelwa ekuthinjweni. Ngenxa yeso sizathu i-zoo kunye neendlovu zokulondoloza iinkqubo zibalulekile ekusindeni kwezilwanyana.
Akudabuki nje kuphela, kodwa ngenye indlela ebonisa ukuhlazola ngathi sonke abahlobo kunye namalungu e-zoo eza kulesi sigqibo. I-zoo yokuqala yesizwe kufuneka ibe nomboniso wamanje wezindlovu apho thina nabantwana bethu sinokuzijonga ngokusisigxina ezi zilwanyana kwiimeko ezifanele.
Ngelixa elizayo
Mhlawumbi umhla uza kuza kwixa elizayo apho uxinzelelo, mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuhamba kweentlanganiso, luya kuphoqa i-zoo ukuba ihlolisise kwakhona i-capital priorities.
Ngelishwa, nangona kunjalo, uvalelwe njengoko kuFairmount Park, i-zoo inegumbi elincinci lokunyuselwa kunye nenkxaso-mali isoloko ingxaki. Ngoku ngoku sinokuthemba nje ukuba uPetal, uKallie, uBette kunye noDulary bayavuya kwaye baphila ubomi obude emakhaya abo amatsha.
