I-psychology yezinkolelo ezibandayo, ukwesaba nokubandlulula

Ama-stereotypes agcwele ngokuthi abantu bezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zenja bahlala kanjani noma cishe njalo baziphatha. Lolu hlobo lokufuya luvame ukufika laphogee lwalo nezimbuzi. Ukuhlangana kwami ​​nezimbongolo bekufana kahle. Ngesinye isikhathi, ohambweni oluya eCincinnati, ngahlangana ne-pit bull egalaji likaphethiloli eyaqala ukuthengwa ukuba ibe yimpi kodwa kwavela, ngokusho kwendoda eyayimthengile, ukuthi ibe "wimp." Lapho ngibuza lo mlisa ngenja yakhe wangitshela ukuthi wayemthengile ukuze "enze imali" ekulweni kwezinja, kodwa lapho inja yakhe yenqaba ukulwa - futhi bobabili bahlekwa usulu - weza ukuzobona inja yakhe nabanye njengabantu ngabanye futhi bathembisa ukuthi abasoze bahlanganyela ekulweni nezinja.

Njengomfundi wokuziphatha kwezilwane ezinhlotsheni eziningi ezahlukahlukene bengilokhu nginentshisekelo enkulu ekuhlukaneni ngakunye phakathi kwamalungu ohlobo olufanayo. Abaphenyi babiza lezi "umehluko we-intraspecific." Futhi, ngoba ngihlangane nenqwaba yama-pit bull engixhume nabo ngezindlela ezinhle kakhulu, ngiye ngazibuza ukuthi lezi zinja zaba namademoni kanjani njengezinja eziyingozi kakhulu. Ngabona ukuthi indaba eqhubeka nokukhathaza lezi zinja yinde futhi ngajabula ukuthola incwadi entsha kaBronwen Dickey ebizwa ngokuthi I-Pit Bull: Impi yesithonjana saseMelika (uhlelo lwe-Kindle lungatholakala lapha). Incazelo yencwadi ifundeka kanjena:

Indaba ekhanyisa kakhulu yokuthi uhlobo oluthile lwenja lwathandwa kanjani ukuthi lube yidimoni kakhulu futhi kuthiwe luyingozi kunazo zonke izinja — nokuthi iyiphi indima abantu abayidlalile ekuguqulweni.

Ngenkathi uBronwen Dickey eletha inja yakhe entsha ekhaya, akabonanga mkhondo wobubi obudumile enkomeni yakhe yothando, enamahloni. Okumenze wazibuza ukuthi: Ngabe lolu hlobo — olwaluthandwa nguTeddy Roosevelt, uHelen Keller, kanye ne- “Little Rascals” yaseHollywood — lwaluzokwaziwa kanjani njengomlwi ononya?

Ukufuna kwakhe izimpendulo kumsusa ngekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye lemigodi yokulwa nezinja eNew York City - isihluku sayo esadonsela ukunakekela kwe-ASPCA esanda kusungulwa — emasethini ama-movie asekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, lapho izinkunzi zama-pit ezihambisana khona noFatty Arbuckle noBuster Keaton; kusukela ezinkundleni zempi zaseGettysburg naseMarne, lapho ama-pit bull athola khona ukuqashelwa ngumongameli, ukuba yincithakalo ezindaweni zasemadolobheni lapho izinja zazithandwa khona, zaziswa-futhi kwesinye isikhathi ziphathwa ngonya.

Noma ngothando noma ngokwesaba, inzondo noma ukuzinikela, abantu baboshelwe emlandweni we-pit bull. Ngokucabanga okungapheli, uzwelo, nokuqonda okuqinile kweqiniso lesayensi, uDickey usinikeza isithombe esigqamile salolu hlobo olungavamile, nombono oqondayo wobudlelwano baseMelika nezinja zabo.

Ingxoxo noBronwen Dickey

Kuhle ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuzwa kubabhali ngokwabo, futhi ngaba nenhlanhla yokwazi ukuqhuba ingxoxo noNksz Dickey. Ezindaweni empeleni kunemininingwane ngoba ezinye izingqinamba zidinga ukukhishwa ngokuphelele. Ngiyethemba uzofunda yonke le ngxoxo njengoba uNkk Dickey efaka umsebenzi omningi kuyo.

Kungani ubhale Inkunzi Yomgodi?

Ngibhalile Inkunzi Yomgodi ngoba ngezwa ukuthi umlando wesithunzi wenja yaseMelika ubungakaze uhlolwe ngokuphelele. Kuyo yonke iMelika bekunezigidi zemindeni ephila impilo ejwayelekile, engenakulinganiswa nezilwane imithombo yezindaba evezwe njengezilo, futhi bengifuna ukuqonda ukuthi lo mbono waba khona kanjani futhi kungani. Engikufundile ukuthi isithombe esesabekayo se-pit bull sihlobene kakhulu nokwesaba kwethu nobandlululo lwethu kunokuziphatha kwezilwane.

Ucabanga ukuthi kungani abantu abaningi bengazithandi lezi zinja ezesabekayo bengakaze bazi eyodwa?

Ngicabanga ukuthi uHP. U-Lovecraft wayeqinisile ngalokhu: "Imizwa endala futhi enamandla kunayo yonke yesintu ukwesaba, kanti uhlobo oludala kakhulu nolunamandla ukwesaba ukwesaba okungaziwa." Uma ufunde izindaba ezethusayo mayelana nama-pit bulls futhi ungenakho okuhlangenwe nakho okuhle ngokwakho ukubeka lezo zindaba ngendlela efanele, ingxenye ephindaphindwayo yobuchopho bakho eguqula ukwesaba ingaqondisa izinqumo zakho kalula kakhulu. Njengoba ngisho encwadini, awukwazi ukucabanga ukuthi umuntu uphume entweni angazange acatshangelwe kuyo.

Ngabe uvumelanisa kanjani ukuthi ama-pit bull yiwona abangela imisindo ephezulu kangaka yokulunywa yinja?

Akekho ongavuma ukuthi igama elithi "pit bull" kufanele lichazwe kanjani, elidala inkinga enkulu ngezibalo zokulunywa. Ngokuphikisana nalokho abathengi abaningi bemibiko yabezindaba abakucabangayo, i- "pit bull" ayibhekiseli ohlotsheni olulodwa kuphela — i-pit pit terrier yaseMelika — kodwa okungenani ezine: i-APBT, i-American Staffordshire terrier, i-Staffordshire bull terrier, ne-American bully . Zisuka nje kululwane, izibalo ezilumayo ezibeka ohlwini "ama-pit bull" njengohlobo "olulodwa" ziyahluleka ukwamukela lokhu, okwenza ukuqhathanisa kungasebenzi. Ungaqhathanisa kanjani izinhlobo ezikhethekile (njenge-Labrador retriever, i-pointer enezinwele zaseJalimane, njll.) Neqembu elikhulu lezinhlobo ezine ezihlanganiswe ndawonye? Kungafana nokuqhathanisa amazinga okuphahlazeka kweFord Explorer, iToyota Tacoma, nawo wonke ama "sedans" Lokho akuyona indlela ezwakalayo yezibalo.

Njengokungathi lokho akukubi ngokwanele, inani elandayo lezinja ezijwayelekile, ezixubekile ziphonswe esigabeni se "pit bull" ngoba zinamakhanda amakhulu, amajazi abushelelezi, noma umbala we-brindle. Ngamazwi omunye wezilwane zokukhosela, "Sasivame ukubiza ama-mutts ezinja ezixubekile. 'Manje sizibiza zonke ngokuthi' ama-pit bull. '" Ucwaningo lwakamuva ngokunemba kokukhonjwa kohlobo olubonakalayo lukhombisa ukuthi lezi zibikezelo eziyingozi azilungile ngaphezu kwe-87% yesikhathi.

Ukuhlonza izinhlobo zezinja ezifakwe ohlwini lwemibiko yokulunywa kwezokwelapha akukaze kuqinisekiswe yimithombo ezimele. Ochwepheshe bezokwelapha bakushiyela isiguli noma umnakekeli wesiguli ukuba bagcwalise amaphepha okuthi hlobo luni lwenja olunesibopho, futhi imvamisa abantu abanalo nhlobo ulwazi lokuthi bekuyinja enjani. Uma ngilunywa yinja yase-Eskimo yaseMelika kepha angijwayelene nalolo hlobo futhi ngibeka phansi "i-husky yaseSiberia" efomini (ngoba yilokho elibukeka khona esweni lami elingaqeqeshiwe), lifakwa ohlwini lokulunywa nge-husky yaseSiberia . Lesi ngesinye sezizathu EZININGI ukuthi i-American Veterinary Medical Association igcizelele ukuthi "izibalo zokulunywa yizinja akuzona izibalo zangempela."
