Ezweni lanamuhla eliqhutshwa abathengi, abantu abaningi baya ngokuya baqaphela imithelela yezimiso zokudla abakukhethayo, ikakhulukazi mayelana nemikhiqizo yezilwane. Amaqiniso anonya izilwane ezibhekana nazo ezindaweni zokulima—kusukela ezimeni eziminyana kanye nezinqubo ezibuhlungu kuya ekuhlatshweni ngaphambi kwesikhathi. —sibangele inani elikhulu labathengi ukuthi bafune imikhiqizo ethembisa impatho yobuntu nokuziphatha. Nokho, amalebula akule mikhiqizo, adizayinelwe ukuqondisa abathengi abaqotho, avamise ukufihla amaqiniso abuhlungu wezinqubo ezijwayelekile zomkhakha.
Lesi sihloko sidingida ubunkimbinkimbi kanye nemvelo evame ukudukisa amalebula njengokuthi “akhuliswe ngokobuntu,” “angenakheji,” kanye “nemvelo.” Ihlola ukuthi i-USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) ivuma kanjani lezi zimangalo futhi igqamisa amagebe abalulekile phakathi kwemibono yabathengi nezimo zangempela ezibekezelelwa izilwane. Ngokuhlola izincazelo kanye namazinga—noma ukuntuleka kwakho—ngemuva kwala malebula, isiqephu sendatshana sinikeza ukukhanya eqinisweni lokuthi imikhuba eminingi ebizwa ngokuthi imikhuba yobuntu iyasilela enhlalakahleni yangempela yezilwane.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingxoxo inwebela ekunikezweni kwezitifiketi zenkampani yangaphandle, okuthi, nakuba ithembeke kakhulu kunezimvume ze-FSIS, isaqhubekisela phambili umbono wokuthi ukulima kwezilwane okunokuziphatha kuyafinyeleleka. Ngalokhu kuhlola, i-athikili ihlose ukwazisa kanye nokunika amandla abathengi ukuthi benze izinqumo ezinolwazi, inselele ukumaketha okukhohlisayo okuvamise ukuhambisana nemikhiqizo yezilwane.
Izilwane ezikhungweni zezolimo zibekezelela isihluku nsuku zonke. Abaningi bahlushwa izimo ezimpintshana, eziminyene, izinqubo ezibuhlungu ngaphandle kokubulala izinzwa, kanye nokuhlatshwa isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba bafe ngokwemvelo. Abathengi abaningi bathola lokhu futhi bafuna ngokufanelekile ukugwema imikhiqizo yezilwane eyenziwe ngale ndlela.
Kodwa-ke, iqiniso liwukuthi amalebula amaningi okusiza abathengi banqume ukuthi isilwane sikhuliswa kahle kangakanani angakwazi ukufihla imikhuba enonya nengenabuntu ejwayelekile embonini.
I-USDA Iwavuma Kanjani Amalebula Okudla?
Izicelo zokupakishwa kokudla mayelana nendlela isilwane esikhuliswa ngayo azikhethelwa. Kodwa-ke, uma umkhiqizi wokudla efuna ukwenza izicelo ezinjalo emaphaketheni akhe, kudingeka athole ukugunyazwa kwabe-Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Umkhiqizi kufanele athumele izinhlobo ezihlukene zamadokhumenti ku-FSIS, kuye ngohlobo lwesimangalo abafuna ukusenza.
“Ukhuliswe Ngobuntu”, “Ukhuliswe Ngokunakekela”, “Ukhuliswe Ngokuqhubekayo”
Igama elithi “ukukhuliswa ngokobuntu” lingadukisa ikakhulukazi abathengi. Igama elithi ubuntu lisikhumbuza umuntu onakekela isilwane ngothando. Ngokudabukisayo, akunjalo.
Uma ifuna ukugunyazwa kwamalebula afana nokuthi “obuntu,” “akhuliswe ngokucophelela,” kanye “nokukhuliswa ngokuqhubekayo,” i-FSIS ayinikezi imihlahlandlela ethile yokuthi igama lisho ukuthini. Esikhundleni salokho, bavumela abakhiqizi ukuthi bazichaze ngokwabo ngokuthumela incazelo yabo futhi babeke kulebula yomkhiqizo wabo noma kuwebhusayithi yabo.
Kodwa-ke, incazelo eyamukelwe yi-FSIS ingakhululeka. Lokhu kusho ukuthi izinkukhu endaweni yokulima eminyene futhi enonya zingachazwa ngokuthi “zikhuliswe ngokobuntu” ngoba nje zithola ukudla kwemifino. Lokhu akuhambisani nomqondo wabantu abaningi “wobuntu,” nokho yindlela umdidiyeli akhethe ukuyichaza ngayo.
“Akunageji,” “Ibanga Elikhululekile”, “Amadlelo Akhulisiwe”
“I-Cage-free” nayo isikhumbuza ngezithombe ezijabulisayo zezinkukhu zenza imisebenzi efana nokuzulazula ensimini. Kodwa, "i-cage-free" isho ukuthi izinkukhu azigcinwa emakhajini aqinile. Kungenzeka ukuthi basesendlini egcwele abantu futhi bavuleleke ekuhlushweni eminye imikhuba enonya.
Amatshwele amasha amaduna achanyuselwa angase abulawe ngokushesha ngoba awakwazi ukuzalela amaqanda. Amatshwele esifazane angase akhishwe kabuhlungu ingxenye yoqhwaku ukuze ayeke ukucofa okungavamile ngenxa yengcindezi. Zombili izinqubo zivame kakhulu embonini.
“Indawo yamahhala” kanye “nokukhuliswa kwamadlelo” kuya phambili kancane kodwa ngokufanayo kugweme ukusho ezinye izinqubo zokulima zezilwane ezinonya. “I-Free-range,” kusho ukuthi isilwane sinikezwa ukufinyelela kwangaphandle ku-51% wempilo yaso, kodwa kungakanani ukufinyelela okushiywa kungachazwanga. “Ukukhuliswa kwamadlelo” kusho ukuthi bathola lokho kufinyelela ngesikhathi sabo sokukhula ngaphambi kokuba bahlatshwe.
“Okwemvelo”
“Okokwemvelo,” kuchazwa njengokucutshungulwa kancane futhi akuqukethe izithako zokwenziwa noma umbala owengeziwe. Lokhu akuhlobene nokuthi isilwane siphathwa kanjani futhi njengoba izimangalo ezinjalo zingaphathwa nayi-FSIS ngaphakathi kwe-USDA. Izigidigidi zezilwane ezihlatshwa minyaka yonke e-US ngokulinywa kwezilwane zikude nomhlaba "wemvelo" yazo.
Izitifiketi zenkampani yangaphandle
Izitifiketi ezihlukahlukene zezinkampani zangaphandle zivumela abakhiqizi ukuthi bahambisane nesethi yamazinga futhi mhlawumbe nokucwaninga okuzimele ukuze bathole isigxivizo emaphaketheni abo. Ezimangalweni eziningi zokukhuliswa kwezilwane isitifiketi esivela eceleni singase sithembeke kakhulu kunokuthola nje ukugunyazwa kwe-FSIS.
Kodwa wonke amalebula emikhiqizo yezilwane ayadukisa ngokwezinga elithile ngokukhuthaza umbono wokuthi kunendlela enhle nelungile yokwenza ukulima kwezilwane. Ngisho nezitifiketi zenkampani yangaphandle ezithembeke kakhulu nezinezisusa ezinhle, zivame ukungazinaki izenzo ezinonya, njengokuthena ngaphandle kokubulala izinzwa.
Ekugcineni ingulube ayifuni ukuzala amazinyane ukuze nje akhuliswe ukuze ahlatshwe. Inkomo ayifuni ukuchitha isikhathi esiningi sempilo yayo isengwa kakhulu. Inkukhu ayifuni ukubulawa iminyaka ngaphambi kokuba ngokwemvelo ifele endle. Ukulima kwezilwane akufanele kube khona ngokuphelele. Uma ungakakwenzi lokho, cabanga ngokuya ngemifino ku-TryVeg.com .
Okwenziwa yi-Animal Outlook ukusiza izilwane
I-Animal Outlook yenze izinyathelo zomthetho ngokumelene nabakhiqizi abadukisa abathengi ngamalebula akhohlisayo, okuhlanganisa neyakamuva ngokumelene ne-Alderfer Farms.
