Singatha inja yethu Kungaba okunye kokuhlangenwe nakho okumnandi kakhulu esinakho usuku nosuku. Kodwa-ke, umbono uhluke kakhulu kumbono wesilwane. Futhi ngukuthi ngokocwaningo olwenziwa yi-University of British Columbia (Canada) ngonyaka odlule, izinja zizizwa zingakhululekile ngalokhu kukhonjiswa kothando.
Injabulo uphenyo kwenziwa ithimba lesazi sokusebenza kwengqondo I-Stanley Coren, futhi inyatheliswa yilo magazini Psychology Today ngo-Ephreli 2016. Ngesikhathi kwenziwa lokhu, ongoti bathwebula izithombe zezinja ezibalelwa ku-250 njengoba nje zazigonwa ngabaninizo. Ngemuva kokuhlola izithombe, banqume ukuthi izinja ezingama-81,6% zikhombise izimpawu zokuxineka, ukukhathazeka, ukwesaba noma ukwethuka ngesikhathi sokugona. Ngokwabo, u-7,6% ubonakale ezizwa ekhululekile kwathi ama-10% asele agcina inkulumo engathathi hlangothi.
UCoren uqobo uhlobanisa leli qiniso ne- isazela sokusinda lesilwane, ngoba njengoba echaza, “izinja ziyizilwane eziqalekisayo, okuyigama elikhombisa ukuthi zenzelwe ukusebenza ngokushesha. Lokho kusho ukuthi ngezikhathi zengcindezi noma zokusongela umugqa wokuqala wokuzivikela abawusebenzisayo akuwona amazinyo abo, kodwa amandla abo okubalekela kude ”. Sengiphetha, isilwane sizizwa siboshiwe uma sisigona, futhi siyazi ukuthi uma kwenzeka kuba nengozi, kuzoba nzima ukuthi seqe. Lokhu kudala ukukhathazeka okukhulu.
Singabheka ukuthi ingabe inja ayizizwa kahle ngokuhlaziya yayo ulimi lomzimba. Isibonelo, uma kunjalo, izogwema ukuthintana emehlweni, ihambise izidladla zayo, idobe izindlebe zayo, izamule noma ikhothe ubuso bethu. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi inyakazise noma inyakaze.
Kunoma ikuphi, lokhu akusho ukuthi zonke izinja zisabela ngendlela efanayo lapho zinganga. Njengoba sazi, lezi zilwane zine- uqobo futhi ozimele ehlukaniswe kahle nezinye izinhlobo, ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi, ngenkathi abanye besizonda lesi senzo, abanye basithatha njengesihle futhi esiduduzayo.
