Mā te wāhanga "Ngā Take" ka whakamāramahia ngā momo mamae whānui, ā, he maha ngā wā ka huna, e pāngia ana e ngā kararehe i roto i te ao e aro ana ki te tangata. Ehara ēnei i te mahi nanakia noa iho, engari he tohu nō tētahi pūnaha nui ake—i hangaia i runga i te tikanga tuku iho, te whai wāhitanga, me te hua—e whakataurite ana i te tukino me te whakakore i ō rātou tika taketake mō ngā kararehe. Mai i ngā whare patu kararehe ahumahi ki ngā papa whakangahau, mai i ngā whare herehere taiwhanga ki ngā wheketere kakahu, ka pāngia ngā kararehe e te whara, he maha ngā wā ka horoia, ka warewarehia, ka whakamanahia rānei e ngā tikanga ahurea.
E whakaatu ana ia wāhanga iti i tēnei wāhanga i tētahi paparanga whara rerekē. Ka tirohia e mātou ngā whakamataku o te patunga me te herenga, te mamae i muri i te huruhuru me te ahua, me te whara e pā ana ki ngā kararehe i te wā e kawe ana. Ka tūtaki mātou ki te pānga o ngā mahi ahuwhenua wheketere, te utu matatika o te whakamātautau kararehe, me te tukino i ngā kararehe i roto i ngā circus, ngā zoo, me ngā papa moana. Ahakoa i roto i ō mātou kāinga, he maha ngā kararehe hoa e pāngia ana e te kore aro, te tukino uri, te whakarērea rānei. Ā, i roto i te ngahere, ka peia, ka whaia, ka hokohokohia ngā kararehe—he maha ngā wā i runga i te ingoa o te hua, o te whai wāhitanga rānei.
Mā te hura i ēnei take, ka tono mātou i te whakaaroaro, te kawenga, me te huringa. Ehara i te mea ko te nanakia anake tēnei—engari mō te āhua o ā tātou whiringa, ā tātou tikanga, me ā tātou ahumahi i hanga ai he ahurea mana whakahaere i te hunga ngoikore. Ko te mārama ki ēnei tikanga te taahiraa tuatahi ki te whakakore i a rātou—me te hanga i tētahi ao e ārahi ai te aroha, te tika, me te noho tahi i tō tātou whanaungatanga ki ngā mea ora katoa.
I te mea he nui rawa ngā hua ataahua e waipuke ana i te mākete i ēnei rā, he ngāwari te pōhēhē, te pohehe rānei i ngā kereme maha a ngā waitohu. Ahakoa he maha ngā hua e whakamanamana ana ki ngā tapanga pēnei i te "Cruelty-Free," "Kāore i Whakamātauria ki ngā Kararehe," "Ethically Sourced" rānei, ehara i te mea pono katoa ēnei kereme e ai ki te āhua. I te mea he maha ngā kamupene e uru ana ki te waka matatika, he uaua ki te wehewehe i te hunga e tino whakapau kaha ana ki te oranga kararehe mai i te hunga e whakamahi noa ana i ngā kupu rongonui hei hoko atu i ngā hua. I roto i tēnei tuhinga, ka ārahi ahau i a koe i ia taahiraa i roto i te tukanga o te tautuhi i ngā hua ataahua e tino Kore-Cruelty. Ka ako koe ki te pānui i ngā tapanga, te mārama ki ngā tohu tiwhikete, me te wehewehe i waenga i ngā waitohu e tautoko pono ana i ngā tika kararehe me ērā e tinihanga ana i ngā kaihoko. I te mutunga o tēnei aratohu, ka whai mātauranga me te maia koe ki te hanga i ngā kōrero whai whakaaro …
