M'zaka za zana la 21, nthawi zambiri timamva za kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe ndi mpweya woipa wochokera kumafakitole, kusintha kwa nyengo, komanso kutentha kwanyengo. Tsoka ilo, anthu ambiri pang'onopang'ono akusiya kukonda chilengedwe, dziko lathu lapadera. Zonsezi zimawononga nyama zomwe zimakhala mdziko lathu. Tazolowera kale kumva zakutha kwa mtundu uwu kapena zamtundu wa nyama, kapena momwe anthu olimba mtima amaperekera miyoyo yawo kuteteza nyama, ndikupangitsa kuti zizikhala ndi moyo ndikuberekana.
Ndizosangalatsa kuti zoo zoyambirira zidawonekera zaka zikwi zitatu zapitazo. Adapangidwa ndi mfumu yaku China ndipo amatchedwa "Park for the curious"; dera lake linali mahekitala 607. Zinthu zasintha tsopano. Buku "Zoos in the 21st Century" lonena kuti palibe malo omwe sanakhudzidwepo padziko lapansi ndipo nkhokwe zachilengedwe ndizo zilumba zokha, kwa ambiri, komwe mungasangalale ndi nyama zamtchire.
Zikuwoneka kuti tonse tili ndi chidaliro pamapindu a malo osungira nyama ndi malo osungira, ndipo, komabe, mutuwu umadzetsa mpungwepungwe pakati pa akatswiri. Ena amakhulupirira kuti malo osungira nyama amasunga nyama zomwe zatsala pang'ono kutha. Ena akutsutsana ndikumangidwa kwa nyama m'malo omwe sizachilendo kwa iwo. Ndipo komabe ofufuzawo ali kumbali ya zakale, akuwona kuti kuyendera malo osungira nyama kumathandiza anthu kukonda nyama ndikumverera kuti ali ndi udindo pakukhalapo kwawo. Tsoka ilo, kusintha kwa nyengo ndiye chiopsezo chochepa kwambiri kuzinyama zakutchire, popeza nyama zimatha kusintha kuti zisinthe. Kupha nyama ndi chida chosaganizira ena, choopsa. Chiwerengero cha anthu padziko lapansi chikukula, ndikumanga malo atsopano padziko lapansi; munthu amasiya malo okhala achepera nyama. Mtundu wapaintaneti wa Red Book umapezeka pa intaneti ndipo aliyense amatha kuzizolowera popanda kuchoka panyumba.
Okondedwa Makolo! Chonde pitani ku malo osungira zachilengedwe ndi ana pafupipafupi, pitani kumalo osungira nyama ndi m'madzi. Phunzitsani ana anu kukonda nyama, aphunzitseni kukhala ndiudindo pazomwe amachita. Kenako, mwina, zilumba zokonda zamoyo zonse m'mitima ya mibadwo yamtsogolo zidzatsalira m'dziko loipali.
