Inkinga enkulu ukugawulwa kwamahlathi amakhulu eMelika ukuze kutholakale izingodo ezibalulekile. Ngokucekela phansi izihlahla, umuntu uphuca izigidi zezilwane indawo yazo ejwayelekile, okungukuthi imizi yazo. Izimila nezinye izinto ezincane ezingeyona ingozi kangako. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kudalula umhlaba futhi izimvula ezinkulu zikhukhula inqwaba yenhlabathi. Ngenxa yalokhu, ukubuyiselwa kwezimila nezilwane esikhathini esizayo esiseduze akunakwenzeka.
