Injana yazalisa indlu yomniniyo ngempazamo emva kokuyihlafuna, nto leyo eyabangela uloyiko phakathi kwabasebenzisi be-intanethi.
UCharlotte Redfern noBobby Geeter babuya emsebenzini ngomhla wama-23 kweyeNkanga baza bafumana indlu yabo eBurton upon Trent, eNgilane, igcwele amanzi, kuquka nekhaphethi yabo entsha kwigumbi lokuhlala.
Nangona ubuso bakhe bubuhle, uThor, inkunzi yabo yaseStaffordshire eneeveki ezili-17 ubudala, wahlafuna imibhobho eqhagamshelwe kwifriji yasekhitshini waza wamanziswa lusu.
UHeather (@bcohbabry) ubize le ndawo ngokuthi “yintlekele” waza wabelana ngevidiyo yekhitshi lakhe kunye negumbi lakhe lokuhlala eligcwele amanzi kwiTikTok. Kwiintsuku ezimbini nje kuphela, le posi iqokelele abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezi-2 kwaye abantu abaphantse babe ngama-38,000 bayithandile.
Ngokutsho kwe-American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), izinja zihlafuna ngezizathu ezahlukeneyo. Indlela eziziphatha ngayo, ukuhlafuna kuqinisa imihlathi yazo, kunceda ukugcina amazinyo azo ecocekile, kwaye kunciphisa nexhala.
Izinja nazo zithanda ukuhlafuna ukuze ziyonwabele okanye zikhuthaze abanye, kodwa oku kunokuba yingxaki ngokukhawuleza ukuba zigrumba izinto ezingafanelekanga.
Ukuba inja yakho ihlafuna izinto zasekhaya kuphela xa ishiywe yodwa, kusenokwenzeka ukuba kungenxa yokuxhalaba ngokuhlukana, ngelixa inja ekhotha, emunca, okanye ehlafuna ilaphu isenokukhunyulwa ngaphambi kwexesha.
Izinjana ziyahlafuna ukuze zithomalalise iintlungu zokuqaqanjelwa ngamazinyo kwaye zihlole ihlabathi elizingqongileyo. I-ASPCA icebisa ukuba zinike izinjana ilaphu lokuhlamba elimanzi okanye umkhenkce ukunciphisa ukungonwabi, okanye zizikhokele ngobunono ukusuka kwizinto zasekhaya ukuya kwizinto zokudlala.
Le vidiyo ibonisa uRedfern ezulazula endlwini ehlola umonakalo. Ikhamera ijonge phantsi, ibonisa iikhaphethi ezimanzi kunye namachibi, aze ajike ajonge kuThor, ohleli esofeni.
Ngokucacileyo engayiqondi ingxolo ayibangeleyo, uThor ujonga nje unina ngamehlo akhe enjana.
“Wathi, ‘Thixo wam.’ Seva isandi sokufutha sivela ekhitshini waza uThor wahlala ekhejini yakhe, engcangcazela.
“Inja indijongile nje yaza yabuza, “Ndenze ntoni?” Yalibala ngokupheleleyo okwenzekileyo.
Izikhukula zabangelwa kukuhlafuna kukaThor imibhobho eqhagamshelwe kwisixhobo sokukhupha amanzi efrijini. Imibhobho idla ngokungafikeleleki, kodwa uThor ngandlela thile wakwazi ukungena kwiiplanga ezisezantsi kodonga.
“Wayenentambo enkulu eneqhina elikhulu ekupheleni, kwaye ngokucacileyo wayikhulula intambo waza wayiwisa ibhodi,” utshilo uGate kwiNewsweek.
“Bekukho umbhobho weplastiki emva kwesiseko seplanga, apho amanzi aye efrijini, waza waluma kuwo. Amabala amazinyo ayebonakala,” wongezelela. “Ngokuqinisekileyo sisiganeko esiphindwe kathathu.”
Ngethamsanqa, umhlobo kaGeeter wayengumlungisi wemibhobho waza wababoleka umatshini wokucoca umphunga othengiswayo ukuze ufunxe amanzi. Nangona kunjalo, umatshini ugcina kuphela iilitha ezili-10 zamanzi, ngoko ke kwathabatha iiyure ezintlanu ezinesiqingatha ukukhupha amanzi kwigumbi.
Ngentsasa elandelayo baqesha umatshini wokomisa iikhaphethi kunye nesixhobo sokususa umswakama ukuze bomise indlu. Kwathabatha phantse iintsuku ezimbini uRedfern noGeeter ukuhlanganisa yonke into kunye.
Abantu abasebenzisa iTikTok bathethelele uThor, umsebenzisi weBATSA ephawula athi, “Jonga ubuso bakhe, ayinguye yena nge-100%.
“Ubuncinane iikhaphethi zicociwe kakuhle,” wabhala uGemma Blagden, ngelixa uPotterGirl wathi, “Ndicinga ukuba umbize ngothixo ongenguye. ULoki, uthixo wobubi, umfanele ngakumbi.”
“Asizange simgxeke nokumgxeka,” wongezelela uGate. “Nokuba wenza ntoni na ngoku, singathi, ‘Ewe, ubuncinane akukubi njengaxa wayegcwalisa indlu ngamanzi.’
