Lesi sigaba siphenya izinga lomuntu lokuxhashazwa kwezilwane—indlela thina njengabantu ngabanye nemiphakathi esithethelela ngayo, esisekela, noma esimelana ngayo nezinhlelo zonya. Kusukela kumasiko amasiko nokuncika kwezomnotho kuye empilweni yomphakathi nezinkolelo zomoya, ubudlelwano bethu nezilwane bubonisa izindinganiso esiziphethe kanye nezakhiwo zamandla esihlala kuzo. Ingxenye ethi “Abantu” ihlola lokhu kuxhumana, iveze ukuthi inhlalakahle yethu ixhumene ngokujule kangakanani nezimpilo esizibusayo.
Sihlola ukuthi ukudla okusindayo kwenyama, ukulima kwezimboni, nochungechunge lokuhlinzekwa komhlaba wonke kulimaza kanjani ukondliwa kwabantu, impilo yengqondo, kanye nomnotho wendawo. Izinkinga zempilo yomphakathi, ukungavikeleki kokudla, nokuwohloka kwemvelo akuzona izehlakalo ezingazodwa—kuyizimpawu zesimiso esingenakubekezelelwa esibeka phambili inzuzo phezu kwabantu neplanethi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, lesi sigaba sigqamisa ithemba noguquko: imindeni yezilwane ezidla inyama, abasubathi, imiphakathi, nezishoshovu ezicabanga kabusha ubudlelwano babantu nesilwane futhi zakha izindlela zokuphila eziqinile nezinozwela.
Ngokubhekana nezimiso zokuziphatha, amasiko, kanye nemithelela engokoqobo yokusetshenziswa kwezilwane, nathi sibhekana nathi. Hlobo luni lomphakathi esifuna ukuba yingxenye yalo? Izinqumo zethu zibonisa noma zikhaphela kanjani izindinganiso zethu? Indlela eya ebulungisa—ezilwaneni nakubantu—iyafana. Ngokuqwashisa, uzwela, kanye nesenzo, singaqala ukulungisa ukunqanyulwa obhebhethekisa ukuhlupheka okungaka, futhi siye ekusaseni elinobulungisa neliqhubekayo.
Sekungamakhulu eminyaka, izilwane ezidla zifakwe kakhulu esikweni lesintu nokudla. Kodwa-ke, njengoba ukuqwashisa ngezinkinga zokuziphatha, ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo, futhi imiphumela yezempilo ikhula, isidingo sokudla izilwane siphinde sabalwa kabusha. Ingabe abantu bangachuma ngempela ngaphandle kwemikhiqizo yezilwane? Abameli bokudla okususelwa kwimithi baphikisana no-Yebo - bakhomba umthwalo wemfanelo wokuziphatha ukuze banciphise ukuhlupheka kwezilwane, ukuphuthuma kwezemvelo ukunciphisa ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu okubangelwa ukulima kwezimboni, kanye nezinzuzo zezempilo ezifakazelwe ngokudla okususelwa kwizitshalo. Lo mbhalo uhlola ukuthi kungani ukusukela ekusetshenzisweni kwezilwane akunakwenzeka kuphela kodwa kubalulekile ekwakheni ikusasa elinozwela, elimeme elihlonipha impilo yonke emhlabeni
