NgoSepthemba 2020, ukushona okudabukisayo kuka-Strawberry umshayisibhakela kanye nemidlwane yakhe engakazalwa kwafaka isidingo ezweni lonke somthetho oqinile nongaguquki wokuvikela izilwane emapulazini omdlwane kulo lonke elase-Australia. Naphezu kwalokhu kumemeza, izifundazwe eziningi zase-Australia kusamele zithathe isinyathelo esiwujuqu. E-Victoria, nokho, i-Animal Law Institute (ALI) ivula indlela entsha yezomthetho yokubopha abalimi bobudedengu baphendule ngaphansi koMthetho Wabathengi base-Australia. U-Voiceless usanda kumema u-Erin Germantis wase-ALI ukuthi azosikhanyisela ngendaba egcwele yonke indawo yamapulazi omdlwane e-Australia kanye neqhaza elibalulekile le-'Anti-Puppy Farm Legal clinic esanda kusungulwa.'
Amapulazi omdlwane, awaziwa nangokuthi 'amafekthri omdlwane' noma 'ama-puppy mills,' ayimisebenzi ejulile yokuzalanisa izinja ebeka phambili inzuzo ngaphezu kwenhlalakahle yezilwane. Lezi zinsiza zivame ukufaka izinja ezimeni eziminyene, ezingahlanzekile futhi zinganakwa ezindingo zazo zomzimba, zomphakathi, nezokuziphatha. Isimo sokuxhaphaza sokufuywa kwemidlwane siholela ezinkingeni eziningi zezenhlalakahle, kusukela ekungeneni kokudla namanzi kuya ekulimaleni okungokwengqondo okukhulu ngenxa yokuntuleka kobudlelwane. Imiphumela mibi, zombili izinja ezizalanisayo kanye nenzalo yazo ivame ukuhlushwa uhla lwezinkinga zempilo.
Isimo esingokomthetho esizungeze ukufuywa kwemidlwane e-Australia sihlukene futhi asihambisani, nemithethonqubo ihluka kakhulu kuzo zonke izifunda nezindawo. Nakuba u-Victoria esebenzise izinyathelo eziqhubekayo zokulawula izinqubo zokuzalanisa nokuthuthukisa inhlalakahle yezilwane , ezinye izifundazwe ezinjengeNew South Wales zisalela emuva, azinazo izindlela zokuvikela ezanele. Lokhu kuhlukana kugcizelela isidingo esiphuthumayo sohlaka lukahulumeni oludidiyelwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe amazinga afanayo okuvikela izilwane.
Ukuphendula isidingo esikhulayo sezilwane ezifuywayo phakathi nobhadane lwe-COVID-19, i-Anti-PuppyFarm Legal Clinic inikeza izeluleko zezomthetho zamahhala emphakathini. Umtholampilo unika amandla uMthetho Wabathengi base-Australia ukuze uthole ubulungisa bezilwane ezigulayo ezitholwa kubafuyi noma izitolo zezilwane ezifuywayo, okuhloswe ngazo ukuba lezi zinhlangano ziphendule ngezenzo zazo. Ngokuhlukanisa izilwane zasekhaya 'njengempahla,' umthetho uhlinzeka ngendlela ukuze abathengi bafune amakhambi afana nokunxeshezelwa kwephulwa kweziqinisekiso zabathengi noma ukuziphatha okudukisayo.
Isekelwa Uhulumeni Wase-Victorian, i-Anti-Puppy Farm Legal Clinic njengamanje isiza abantu base-Victorian, ngezifiso zokwandisa ukufinyelela kwayo esikhathini esizayo. Lesi sinyathelo simele isinyathelo esibalulekile sokubhekana nezinkinga zesistimu embonini yokulima imidlwane nokuqinisekisa ukuvikelwa okungcono kwezilwane ezingabangane kulo lonke elase-Australia.
NgoSepthemba 2020, ukufa okunyantisayo kukaStrawberry umshayi sibhakela kanye nemidlwane yakhe engakazalwa kwabangela isimemezelo ezweni lonke sokuthi kube nomthetho oqinile nongaguquguquki wokuvikela izilwane emapulazini omdlwane. Njengoba izifundazwe eziningi zase-Australia zisahluleka ukuthatha isinyathelo, i -Animal Law Institute (ALI) e-Victoria isebenzisa isixazululo esingokomthetho sokusungula abalimi abanobudedengu ukuba baziphendulele ngoMthetho Wabathengi base-Australia.
U-Voiceless wamema u-Erin Germantis wase-ALI ukuzoxoxa ngodaba lwamapulazi omdlwane e-Australia kanye neqhaza le-'Anti-Puppy Farm Legal Clinic' yabo esanda kusungulwa.
Ayini amapulazi omdlwane?
'Amapulazi omdlwane' yizinqubo zokuzalanisa izinja eziqinile ezihluleka ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zomzimba, zomphakathi noma zokuziphatha kwezilwane. Ekwaziwa nangokuthi 'izimboni zomdlwane' noma 'izigayo zomdlwane', ngokuvamile zihlanganisa imisebenzi emikhulu, yokuzalanisa inzuzo kodwa futhi ingaba amabhizinisi amancane agcina izilwane zisezimweni eziminyene nezingahlanzekile ezihluleka ukunikeza ukunakekelwa okufanele. Ukulima imidlwane kuwumkhuba wokuxhaphaza osebenzisa izilwane njengemishini yokuzalanisa, ngenhloso yokukhiqiza ama-litter amaningi ngangokunokwenzeka ngesikhathi esifushane kakhulu, ukuze kwandiswe inzuzo.
Kunezinkinga eziningi zezenhlalakahle ezihlobene namapulazi omdlwane, ahluka kuye ngezimo. Kwezinye izimo, izilwane zinganqatshelwa ukudla okwanele, amanzi noma indawo yokuhlala; kwezinye izimo, izilwane ezigulayo ziyekwa zibune ngaphandle kokunakekelwa kwezilwane. Izilwane eziningi zigcinwa emakhejini amancane futhi azihlali kahle, okuholela ekukhathazekeni okukhulu noma ukulimala kwengqondo.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yisiphi isimo, imikhuba emibi yokuzalanisa ingaholela ezinkingeni ezihlukahlukene zezempilo ezinjeni ezikhulile ezizalanisayo kanye nenzalo yazo. Imidlwane, okubonakala sengathi iphilile ekuqaleni, ingaba nezinkinga zezempilo ngemva kokuba ishiye umfuyi ukuze adayiswe ezitolo zezilwane ezifuywayo, abadayisi bezilwane ezifuywayo noma emphakathini ngqo.
Uthini umthetho?
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ayikho incazelo esemthethweni yegama elithi 'ukulima imidlwane' e-Australia. Njengomthetho omelene nonya, imithetho ehambisana nokuzalanisa izilwane ezifuywayo isethwe ezingeni lesifunda nendawo, ngakho-ke ayihambisani ezindaweni ezahlukene. Ohulumeni basekhaya nabo bayingxenye yokuphathwa kokuzalaniswa kwezinja namakati. Lokhu kuntuleka kokushintshashintsha kusho ukuthi abafuyi bazolawulwa imithetho nemigomo eyahlukene kuye ngokuthi bahlalaphi.
Ezinye izifundazwe zithuthuka kakhulu kunezinye. E-Victoria, labo abangabanikazi bezinja ezivundile eziphakathi kwezi-3 neziyi-10 ezizalela ukuze bazithengise bahlukaniswa 'njengebhizinisi lokuzalanisa izilwane zasekhaya'. Kufanele babhaliswe nomkhandlu wabo wendawo futhi bathobele Ikhodi Yokuzijwayeza Yokusebenza Kokuzalanisa Nokukhulisa Amabhizinisi 2014 . Labo abanezinja zesifazane ezivundile ezingu-11 noma ngaphezulu kufanele bafune imvume kangqongqoshe ukuze babe 'abafuyi bezentengiselwano' futhi bavunyelwe kuphela ukugcina izinja ezivundile zesifazane ezingaphezu kwezingu-50 ebhizinisini labo uma kugunyazwe. Izitolo zezilwane eVictoria nazo zivinjelwe ukuthi zithengise izinja ngaphandle uma zithathwe ezindaweni zokukhosela. Emzamweni wokwandisa ukulandeleka, noma ubani othengisa noma obuyisela inja ekhaya e-Victoria kufanele abhalise 'I-Pet Exchange Register' ukuze anikezwe 'inombolo yomthombo' okufanele ifakwe kunoma yiziphi izikhangiso zokudayiswa kwezilwane ezifuywayo. Ngenkathi eVictoria uhlaka lomthetho luhloselwe ukukhulisa inhlalakahle yezilwane, ukuphoqelelwa okuqinile kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi le mithetho iyalandelwa.
Ngaphesheya komngcele we-NSW, izinto zibukeka zihluke kakhulu. Awekho ama-caps enanini lezinja ezivundile zensikazi ibhizinisi elingaphatha futhi izitolo zezilwane ezifuywayo zikhululekile ukuthola izilwane zazo kubafuyi benza inzuzo. Sibona isimo esifanayo kwezinye izifundazwe nezindawo eziningi ezinezinyathelo zokuvikela ezinganele.
Okunye ukuthambekela okumelene nokufuywa kwemidlwane kwatholakala eNtshonalanga ye-Australia ngo-2020, ngokwethulwa komthethosivivinywa ePhalamende wokwethula ukukhishwa kobulili okuphoqelekile, ukuvinjelwa kokuthengiswa kwezilwane ezitolo zezilwane ezifuywayo ngaphandle kokuthi zithathwe ezindaweni zokukhosela, kanye nokulandeleka okuthuthukisiwe. Yize lo Mthethosivivinywa usuphelelwe yisikhathi ngenxa yokuphela komhlangano wephalamende, kunethemba lokuthi lezi zinguquko ezibalulekile zizophinde zethulwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulo nyaka.
Ibhulogi Ehlobene: 6 Umthetho Wezilwane Uyawina Osinikeze Ithemba ngo-2020.
ENingizimu Australia, iqembu eliphikisayo lezabasebenzi muva nje lithembise ukwethula umthetho wamapulazi omelene nomdlwane uma iqembu libumba uhulumeni okhethweni lwezwe oluzayo ngoMashi 2022.
Umehluko emazingeni okuzalanisa phakathi kwezifunda nezindawo uyisibonelo esihle sokuthi kungani i-Australia idinga ukuxhumanisa imithetho engaguquki yokuvikela izilwane ezingeni likahulumeni. Ukuntuleka kohlaka olungaguquki kudala ukudideka kubathengi abangabangane bezilwane okungenzeka bangaqondi ngokugcwele izimo isilwane esazalelwa ngaphansi kwazo. Ngenxa yalokho, bangase bathenge isilwane esingumngane wabo benganakile kumlimi womdlwane.
I-Animal Law Institute - Ukusiza abanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo ukuthi bafune ubulungisa
I-Animal Law Institute (ALI) isanda kusungula 'Umtholampilo Womthetho Wokulwa NePuppy Farm' ukuze ibambe abalimi abangenandaba nezenzo zabo, besebenzisa uMthetho Wabathengi base-Australia (ACL).
Kuso sonke lesi sibhicongo se-COVID-19, kube nokukhula kwenani labantu base-Australia abathenga izinja namakati ku-inthanethi, okuhlanganisa nezinhlobo ezibizwa ngokuthi 'abaklami'. Njengoba isidingo sikhuphuka, abafuyi abanamandla bayakwazi ukubiza amanani aphakeme futhi ngokuvamile babeka impilo yezilwane engozini kanye nenhlalakahle ukuze benze inzuzo.
Ukuphendula, i-Anti-Puppy Farm Legal Clinic inikeza iseluleko samahhala emphakathini mayelana nokuthi uMthetho Wabathengi base-Australia ungasetshenziswa kanjani ukufuna ubulungisa egameni lezilwane ezigulayo uma zitholwe kumfuyi noma esitolo sezilwane ezifuywayo.
Isihloko Esihlobene Esishisayo: Ukulima Umdlwane
Izilwane zasekhaya njengezinja namakati zithathwa njengempahla emehlweni omthetho, futhi zihlukaniswa ngaphansi kwe-ACL 'njengempahla.' Lokhu kuhlukaniswa akwanele njengoba kushaye indiva imizwa yezilwane ngokuzihlanganisa ndawonye nezinye 'izimpahla' ezifana nomakhalekhukhwini noma izimoto. Nokho, yilokhu kuhlukaniswa okunikeza ngokungangabazeki ithuba lokubamba abalimi nabathengisi baziphendulele. I-ACL inikeza isethi yamalungelo azenzakalelayo, aziwa ngokuthi iziqinisekiso zabathengi, ngokuhlobene nanoma yiziphi izimpahla zabathengi noma amasevisi ahlinzekwa ngaphakathi kwezohwebo noma ezohwebo e-Australia. Isibonelo, izimpahla kufanele zibe ngezekhwalithi eyamukelekayo, zifanele injongo, futhi kufanele zifane nencazelo yazo enikeziwe. Ngokuthembela kulezi ziqinisekiso, abathengi bangakwazi ukufuna ikhambi elifana nesinxephezelo, ngokumelene nomphakeli noma 'umkhiqizi' wesilwane esiwumngane, njengomthengisi noma umfuyi wenja. Ngokufanayo, abathengi bangakwazi futhi ukufuna amakhambi ngaphansi kwe-ACL ngokuziphatha okudukisayo noma okukhohlisayo kwezohwebo noma ezentengiselwano.
Labo abathenge isilwane esingumngane ogulayo futhi abafuna ukuqonda ukuthi umthetho usebenza kanjani esimweni sabo esithile bayakhuthazwa ukuthi bathumele uphenyo ukuze bathole usizo lwezomthetho ngewebhusayithi ye-ALI lapha.
I-Anti-Puppy Farm Legal Clinic isekelwa nguHulumeni wase-Victorian futhi okwamanje ivulekele abantu base-Victorian, kodwa i-ALI inethemba lokwandisa insizakalo esikhathini esizayo. Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nomtholampilo, sicela uthinte ummeli we-ALI u-Erin Germantis nge-imeyili .
