IMITHETHO ekuthengisweni nasekufumaneni ii-catapults kufuneka iqiniswe ukuze iqhubele phantsi ulwaphulo-mthetho, utshilo uSekela-Mkomishinala waseSurrey, emva kohlaselo lwamadada kweli lizwe.
Ellie Vesey-Thompson tyelela Shepperton Swan Sanctuary kwiveki ephelileyo emva kokudutyulwa kweentaka ezisixhenxe kwiiveki nje ezintandathu.
Uthethe nevolontiya lendawo engcwele uDanni Rogers, oqale isicelo esithi ukuthengiswa kweekhatapu kunye neembumbulu zenziwe ngokungekho mthethweni.
Kwiiveki ezimbini zokuqala zika-2024, amadada amahlanu abulawa eSurrey nakwiindawo ezikufutshane. Abanye ababini basweleka, kwaye abane bonzakala ngokumasikizi, kuhlaselo ukusukela nge-27 kaJanuwari.
Iintaka bezijoliswe e-Godstone, e-Staines, e-Reigate nase-Woking e-Surrey, kunye nase-Odiham e-Hampshire.
Inani lohlaselo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kulo nyaka sele ligqithise inani elirekhodiweyo kuzo zonke iinyanga ze-12 ze-2023, apho uhlangulo lwabizelwa kuhlaselo olusixhenxe kwiintaka zasendle.
Kukholelwa ukuba uninzi lwee-swans ezihlaselwe kulo nyaka zabethelwa nge-catapults, nangona ubuncinane enye yabethwa ngepellet evela kwi-BB gun.
Okwangoku, ii-catapults azikho mthethweni eBritane ngaphandle kokuba zisetyenziswa okanye zithwalwa njengesixhobo. Ukusebenzisa ii-catapults kuqheliselo ekujoliswe kulo okanye ekuzingeleni emaphandleni akukho mthethweni, okoko nje umthuthi ekwipropati yabucala, kwaye ezinye ii-catapults ziyilelwe ngokukodwa abaloli ukuba basasaze isithiyelo kwindawo ebanzi.
Nangona kunjalo, zonke iintaka zasendle, kuquka amadada, zikhuselwe phantsi kweWildlife and Countryside Act 1981, okuthetha ukuba lityala ukubulala ngabom, ukonakalisa okanye ukuthatha intaka yasendle ngaphandle kwelayisenisi.
Ii-Catapults zihlala zinxulunyaniswa nokuziphatha okuchasene noluntu, okuchongwe njengenkxalabo ephambili kubahlali baseSurrey ngexesha lothotho lwe Ukupolisa iminyhadala yasekuhlaleni isingathwe liPolisa kunye noMkomishinala woLwaphulo-mthetho kunye noConstable oyiNtloko kulo lonke elasekwindla nasebusika.
“Ukuhlaselwa ngenkohlakalo”
Abanye abathengisi abakhulu be-intanethi banikezela ngekati kunye neebheringi zebhola ezingama-600 ngexabiso eliphantsi njenge-£10.
Eli, okhokela kwindlela yoMkomishinala kulwaphulo-mthetho lwasemaphandleni, wathi: “Olu hlaselo lukhohlakeleyo lwamadada lunxunguphalisa kakhulu, kungekuphela nje kumavolontiya afana noDanni, kodwa kubahlali abaninzi ekuhlaleni kulo mmandla.
“Ndikholelwa ngentliziyo epheleleyo ukuba umthetho ongaphezulu malunga nokusetyenziswa kwe-catapult ufuneka ngokukhawuleza. Kwizandla ezingafanelekanga, zinokuba zizixhobo ezithuleyo neziyingozi.
“Bakwanxibelelene nokonakaliswa kwempahla kunye nokuziphatha okuchasene noluntu, nto leyo enokubaluleka kakhulu kuluntu. Abahlali abebezimase wethu Ukupolisa iminyhadala yasekuhlaleni yayenza yacaca lonto ukuziphatha okuchasene noluntu ngumba ophambili kubo.
Isibongozo samavolontiya
“Ndiwuxoxile lo mba ungundoqo nabaphathiswa, kwaye ndiza kuqhubeka nokuphembelela utshintsho kumthetho.”
UDanni, owaba livolontiya kwindawo engcwele emva kokuhlangula i-heron ngexesha lokuvalwa, uthe: “Kwenye indawo eSutton, ndingaya kukhetha naziphi na iintaka ezimbini kwaye zenzakaliswe ngumjukujelwa.
“Abathengisi be-Intanethi bathengisa ezi zixhobo ziyingozi kunye neembumbulu kwi-Intanethi ngexabiso eliphantsi. Sijongene nobhubhani wolwaphulo-mthetho kwizilwanyana zasendle, kwaye kukho into ekufuneka itshintshile.
“Ukwenzakala kwezi ntaka kubi kakhulu. Bophuka iintamo nemilenze, bophuke amaphiko, baphulukane namehlo, yaye izixhobo ezisetyenziswa kolu hlaselo zifikeleleka lula kuye nabani na.”
Ukutyikitya isicelo sikaDanni, ndwendwela: Yenza ukuthengiswa kweekhataputi / iimbumbulu kunye nokuthwala iikhatapuli esidlangalaleni ngokungekho mthethweni - Izikhalazo (parliament.uk)
