n. Ukunikezwa kwesisusa, izici, noma ukuziphatha kwabantu, izinto eziphilayo, izilwane, noma izenzakalo zemvelo.
Izilwane ezifuywayo zaseMelika zizithola zingenalutho ngomzuzu. Njengoba isidingo sokuziphatha kwezinja kanye nemithi yokwelashwa yokulwa "Doggie ADD" futhi ukukhathazeka kuyaqhubeka nokwanda, kufanele sizibuze ukuthi ngubani ozobe esolwa ngale ndlela. Ukuze siphendule lo mbuzo, kufanele siqale siqonde lesi senzakalo ngemuva kokuphatha izilwane ezifuywayo njengabantu.
Njengoba inombolo yezingane ngayinye iyanqamuka, inani lezilwane ezifuywayo liyanda. Ama-baby boomers, ingxenye enamandla yamakethe yanamuhla, asheshe abe yizintambo ezingenalutho futhi athathe izingane zabo ezikhulile ezinemilenze emibili enezintambo ezine. Ungabhekanga ngaphezu kokusakazeka kwegama elithi "umzali wesilwane" ngokubhekiselele "kumnikazi wesilwane." Eqinisweni, u-83% ogcwele abanikazi bezilwane manje sebezibiza ngokuthi unina wesilwane noma uyise.
Enye ye-incubator ye-anthropomorphism eholela ngqo embonini yokudayisa yezilwane ezihlukumezayo kanye nabathengisi abafuna i-dollar yakho yesilwane. Manje i-jackpot yonyaka ka-$ 43.4 billion yamabhizinisi, (amakhulu kunawo wonke ama-US toy toy) ukunakekelwa kwemali yokunakekelwa kwezilwane sekufinyelele amazinga okukhula okungazange abe khona futhi ahlale emandleni naphezu komnotho osanda kuvusa.
U-Bob Vetere, isikhulu esisebenzayo se-American Pet Products Manufacturers Association uthi: "Ngokuthenga izilwane ezifuywayo izipho zabantu, senza sizijabule futhi sizijabulise."
Ngokusho komcwaningi wokumaketha uLisa Lehr, lo mkhuba ubonisa isu elizuzisa kakhulu osomabhizinisi ebhedlela lesilwane ukubeka izilwane ezifuywayo njengamalungu omndeni. "Abantu bazimisele ukuchitha imali eningi ezifuywayo zabo. Ungase ubekwe eceleni ukuze uthole isabelo sakho," kusho uLiehr.
Kodwa-ke, umphumela oyimpofu umbono wokungaqondakali we-canine psychology oye waholela ekuziphatheni kwezinja ezingathandeki ezinkulungwaneni, uma kungesizigidi, zamakhaya ezweni lonke.
Ukulindela izinja ukuba zicabange njengabantu zisakazeke kakhulu phakathi kwabanikazi bezilwane. Esinye isizathu sokuthi cishe uFido wasendulo wathola isihloko esithi "Umngane Omkhulu Womuntu" ngokumelene nezinye izilwane kwakuyikhono lakhe elimangalisayo lokuvumelanisa ukuphila kwakhe ukuze kufane neyethu. Yilokho okushiwo ubuchule okungenzeka ukuthi imbangela yokungaqondakali kwethu njalo kwezinhloso nezinhloso zakhe .
Izinja ekugcineni zidinga imithetho, imingcele, nokulinganiselwa . Ziyizidalwa zomphakathi ezifisa isakhiwo kanye nesimiso. Uma izinja zihlala nabantu, abantu bahlela isakhiwo kanye nesimiso (noma ukungabi khona kwayo). Ukuze ubuhlobo bwanamuhla buphumelele, thina bantu kufanele sinikeze ubuholi nesiqondiso. Inja, uthando oluqhubekayo, izipho, nokuhlala ngaphandle kwemithetho, imingcele kanye nokulinganiselwa kuyahambisani nawo wonke okusanhlamvu enkambeni yenja.
Ngamanye amazwi, izinja zidinga ukuphathwa njenge ... kahle, izinja. Futhi, ngithethelele, ngenxa yesitatimende esinjalo esingathandeki kwezombangazwe!
Bonke kodwa abanikazi bezinja ezingapheli kunazo zonke bangakwazi ukuthuthukisa ubudlelwane babo nenja yabo futhi ekugcineni ukuziphatha kwabo uma benza umzamo ozwakalayo wokuqonda imidwebo yabo eyingqayizivele engokomzwelo yenja.
Njengoba ukuphonsa inja yakho usuku lokuzalwa (hey, ngiyenzile!) Noma ukugcwalisa iholidini ukubeka ngokuphatha akuyona inja ebuhlungu-ukuziphatha ngokobugebengu, abantu kufanele baqaphele lapho izenzo zabo zifuna ukunikeza isikhathi esifanele, ukulungiswa okulungile, kanye nokuqiniswa okuphumelelayo kwenja yabo.
Uma inja ikhona kunoma yimuphi omunye umbuso kunokuba ube nokuthula nokuzithoba (isb., Uma ehlukumezekile, ekhululekile, esesaba, ekhukhumezekile noma ekhathazayo) futhi simnika isikhonkwane noma i-pat in ikhanda futhi simtshele ukuthi kuhle, kuyasiduduza , kodwa iqinisa isimo sengqondo inja, okwenza kube lula kakhulu. Ngenkathi sicabanga ukuthi siyaduduza inja, inja icabanga ukuthi siyavuma ukuziphatha okungalungile (noma siyabelane ngakho).
Ake sibone isibonelo. Izinja eziningi ngokwemvelo ziyesaba izibhamu noma ukuduma. Phakathi nesipiliyoni, inja isesimweni esesabekayo noma esikhathazayo yengqondo futhi ngokuvamile ayinakho ukuzethemba.
Uma singena futhi siduduza inja ngendlela esiyiqondayo (isib. Ukukhonta noma ukukhuluma kwengane), inja ibona njengomvuzo noma isiqiniseko sokwesaba noma ukukhathazeka. Lokhu kukhuthaza ukuziphatha kwakhe futhi kumtshele ukuthi ulungile ukungahambi kahle; kungagcina ekuqiniseni ukwesaba kwakhe kwasekuqaleni.
"Abazali" be-Anthropomorphic bavame ukuthola ukuthi inja yabo inezinkinga zokuhlukana (ngezinye izikhathi kuboniswa ukuziphatha okulimazayo). Uma uhlale ubamba inja yakho futhi uhluleka ukuqinisa ukuzethemba kwakhe ngemithetho, imingcele, nokuqeqesha okuqinisayo , inja yakho ingase ingakwazi ukuphumula uma yedwa. Uma usuka kuye, isimo singabangela usizi olukhulu engqondweni ukuthi uqala ukukhipha endlini yakho, noma okubi nakakhulu, kuye. Abanikazi bangase bafune ukucabangela kabili ngaphambi kokuthenga leyo $ 3,000 yebheyili ye-poster ye-poster etops kanye ne-catering kuyo yonke into yabo yesintu.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi abadayisi bezimfuyo bangabekwa icala, noma i-glut yamafilimu e-Hollywood manje abonisa izilwane ezifuywayo njengezabantu (ubonile i-Disney's Beverly Hills Chihuahua?), Ukunikeza izinja ezixubene nobuholi bezimpawu ezimxoshayo, kuphazamisa ingqondo yakhe futhi kuphazamise ukungalingani kwe-canine. Noma nini lapho sizama ukuhlola ukuziphatha kwe-canine ngokusebenzisa izindinganiso zabantu sisebenzisa ingozi yokungaqondisi imizwelo yethu nezinhloso zethu, kuyilapho ukwenza izinkinga ezincane zokuziphatha zingapheli.
Ngakho ngesikhathi esilandelayo ufuna ukujoyina u-63% wabanikazi bezinja abahlanganyela kancane kissy-kissy no-Fido embhedeni, vumela umqondisi wokuqondisa izigwegwe ukuba ahambe futhi azikhumbuze ukuthi akulungile nje ukuphatha inja yakho njenge inja, kodwa yindlela engcono kakhulu yokuphila ngokuvumelana okuphelele naye.
UMichael Landa unguMsunguli kanye noMphathi Omkhulu weThe Pet Staff, ehlezi esihlalweni sobukhulu sezilwane ezincane kakhulu eNingizimu California futhi enolwazi olujulile, inja yokuhamba nenja yokuqeqesha inja. Abasebenzi bakhe bezingcweti ezingu-170 zezilwane ezifuywayo bathelela iklayenti elidinga ukwelashwa kwama-Angeleno Anthropomorphists angaphezu kuka-5 700. ULanda uhlala eHollywood "nomntwana" wakhe, uMax, uLabrador Retriever oneminyaka engu-18 ubudala.
