Isu tese tinoziva kuti vanhu vanogona kuva mhondi dzinoteedzana, asi paive nenyaya yakanyorwa muTsavo East Africa mukunopera kwema1800s iyo inotaura nezve shumba mbiri dzinodya vanhu dzichisiya nzira inouraya yekuuraya kwevanhu mukumuka kwavo.

Vamwe vanoti kunyangwe shumba dzichiita chikafu chevakawanda veavo vakaurayiwa, vangangodaro kunovhimwa zvemitambo zvakare nekuti vanhu havakwani mune zvavo zvakajairwa zvekudya zvinodiwa izvo zvinoda huwandu hwakawanda hweprotein nemapfupa mahombe.

Iyo nyaya yaive hwaro hwemufirimu inotarisana naMichael Douglas naVal Kilmer inonzi Mweya neRima, iyo pachayo yakatora rusununguko rwounyanzvi nezvakanyorwa, zvinotyisa zvapupu zvakaona naLt Col. John Henry Patterson mubhuku rake Vanodya Varume ve Tsavo.

Patterson, mainjiniya, akapihwa basa muna 1898 kuti atarisire kuvakwa kwebhiriji raizotenderera pamusoro peRwizi Tsavo rwenjanji yeBritish. Asi basa rake rakanonoka kanoverengeka neshumba mbiri dzechirume dzakange dzave nekuravira kusinganzwisisike kwevashandi vake.

Zviuru zvevashandi zvakashanda naPatterson kuvaka zambuko. Vaigara mutaundi rakapamhamha rine matende uye zvivakwa zvaipa dziviriro diki kubva kune yakashata savanna ecosystem.

Shumba dzine hutsinye dzaive chikamu chenharaunda iyi. Kusiyana nevamwe vavo vanozivikanwa veSerengeti, vekwa Tsavo vanogona kuzivikanwa nemisoro yavo isina murume, tsananguro isipo kubva muvhi.

Hazvina kutora nguva refu Patterson asati agara munzvimbo yake nyowani apo idzi dzakashinga felines dzakatanga kurwisa varume vake. Vaifamba-famba vachikomberedza musasa, vachichinjana kudhonza varume kubva kumatende avo vachivabvarura kubva pamakumbo kuenda kune rimwe. Izvi zvakaenderera kwechinguva kudzamara katsi dzamira kuratidza, ndokuzongodzoka nekutsiva mwedzi mishoma yakatevera.

Pakudzoka kwavo, vakawedzera humhondi hwavo. Katsi dzakabudirira kuyambuka chero misungo, kutyisidzira matekiniki kana barbed fenzi iyo varume vanogona kuuya nayo. Zvakare, katsi dzaive dzichishanda tandem izvozvi.

Vatyisidzirwa nehupenyu hwavo vashandi vekuvaka vakasiya chirongwa ichi vachiunza kugadzirwa kune chakamira. Vakakundwa zvakanyanya uye vachisara kumashure kwenguva, vakuru veBritish vaive vakatsunga kubvisa izvi zvinofamba zvipembenene.

Pinda vangangoita makumi maviri mauto emaIndia vasina zvavakaita kunze kwekutsamwisa katsi kunyange kumberi, yaive Patterson yavaida uye mukumutsvaga, vakakwanisa kunzvenga pfuti dzakabhadharwa.

Izvo zvinokumbira iwo mubvunzo: Mhuka dzinogona kubata wega vendetta?

Vaviri ava vakaita sekureva kwaPatterson. Vakanga vashatirwa nekuramba achipindira nepfuti. Mukuzvidza, akakwanisa kupfura kati imwe mugumbo. Yakatiza asi zvisinei neronda rayo, yakadzoka nenyota yeropa raPatterson.

Yakanga iri munhu maringe nechikara kusvikira Patterson atora ruoko rwepamusoro, akatora chinangwa ndokurova shumba mumoyo nebara, achiiuraya. Chikara chaive pamusoro pe 9-tsoka-kureba uye chaida kubatsirwa nevarume vanoverengeka kuti vatakure.

Shumba yechipiri yakasangana nemhedzisiro inouraya pfuti yaPatterson asi sehama yayo zvakare yakakwanisa kurarama, ichitizira musavana yakakuvadzwa uye yakatsamwa. Mazuva gumi nerimwe gare gare Patterson akaiwana ndokuipfura kanokwana ka6, kamwe akauraya mumusoro.

Patterson akati kati, kunyangwe ichiri kufa, yakanamira pabazi remuti ichiedza kusvika kwaari isati yatora mweya wekupedzisira.

Mune zvese, iyo katsi dzakakwanisa kuuraya vanhu vangasvika 135, kunyangwe vesaenzi vachipokana kuti iyo nhamba ndeye hyperbolic uye iri kumwe kunhu mune gumi nemaviri.

Katsi mbiri idzi dzaive nerubatsiro kubva chetatu, asi yakaurayiwa Patterson asati asvika uye nekudaro isina magwaro.

Mahombekombe mahombe ezvakapambwa zvaPatterson zvaizove zvemhuri yake vachikanda rugs kwemakore mazhinji vasati vatengeswa kuFilda Museum muChicago nemadhora zviuru zvishanu. Vatariri vakapedzisira vavaputira kuti vaite diorama yakaita sehupenyu.

Nezve chikonzero nei katsi hombe dzaizovhima nyama yemunhu, mumwe muongorori wekati weZavo, Bruce Patterson (asina hukama naJohn), akadaro mubvunzurudzo, vangadaro vakaita kudaro "Nekuti tinononoka, hatina simba uye hatina dziviriro."
