Emzamweni obalulekile obheke ekuthuthukiseni inhlalakahle yezilwane kanye nempilo yomphakathi, u-Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) wethule i-Pigs and Public Health Act, umzamo womthetho ohloselwe ukubhekana udaba olubucayi lokungalawuleki, noma “ziphansi,” izingulube ohlelweni lokudla lwase-US. Isekelwe izinhlangano ezivelele zamalungelo ezilwane i-Mercy For Animals kanye ne-ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®), lo mthethosivivinywa ufuna ukunciphisa ukuhlupheka kwezingulube ezicishe zibe uhhafu wesigidi ezifika esilaheni unyaka nonyaka zigula kakhulu. , ukhathele, noma ulimele ukuma. Lezi zilwane ezisengozini ngokuvamile zibekezelela izikhathi ezinde zokunganakwa, zilele emfucumfucu futhi zibheke ukuhlupheka okukhulu, kuyilapho futhi zibeka engcupheni enkulu yezifo ezoonotic kubasebenzi, okusikhumbuza ubhubhane lomkhuhlane wezingulube ngo-2009.
Naphezu kwemithetho yombuso ekhona evikela izinkomo namankonyane awile, i-Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) yoMnyango Wezolimo wase-US (i-USDA) kusafanele inwebe ukuvikela okufanayo ezingulubeni. I-Pigs and Public Health Act ihlose ukugcwalisa lesi igebe lokulawula ngokusebenzisa amazinga aphelele okuphatha izingulube emapulazini, ngesikhathi ezokuthutha, kanye nasezilaheni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lo mthethosivivinywa uhlongoza ukususwa kwezingulube eziwile ohlelweni lokudla nokudala ingosi ye-inthanethi yezempilo yomphakathi ukubika ukwephulwa komthetho, okuqondiswa yi-USDA kanye noMnyango Wezobulungiswa.
Ukwethulwa kwalo mthetho kuhambisana ngesikhathi ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa ukusabalala kwamanje komkhuhlane wezinyoni wezinyoni (umkhuhlane wezinyoni) emapulazini, okwenza kube nezinye izinsongo kuzo zombili izilwane kanye nempilo yabantu. Abasebenzi bezolimo, abavame ukuphoqeleka ukuthi baphathe lezi zilwane ezicindezelekile ngokushesha ukuze bahlangabezane nezidingo zemboni, basengozini enkulu. Abasekeli balo mthethosivivinywa baphikisa ukuthi ngeke kudambise kuphela ukuhlupheka izingulube kodwa futhi kuzophoqelela imboni yenyama imboni ukuthi yamukele izindinganiso ezingcono zezenhlalakahle, ekugcineni kuzuzise kokubili izilwane nabantu.
I-Pigs and Public Health Act izothuthukisa izimo zezingulube ezihluphekayo futhi ibhekane nezinsongo zokuphepha kokudla.
WASHINGTON (Julayi 11, 2024) - I-Mercy For Animals kanye ne -ASPCA ® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) incoma u-Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) ngokwethula uMthetho Wezingulube Nezempilo Yomphakathi ukubhekana nenselele usongo lwezingulube ezingaguquki, noma “ezidiliziwe,” ohlelweni lokudla. Unyaka ngamunye, cishe isigamu sesigidi sezingulube zifika ezilaheni zase-US zigula, zikhathele noma zilimele kangangokuthi azikwazi ukuma. Lezi zingulube zivame "ukugcinwa okokugcina" futhi zishiywe zilele amahora amaningi, okuholela ekuhluphekeni okukhulu futhi kubeka abasebenzi engcupheni enkulu yokuthola isifo se-zoonotic esingadala ubhubhane lwabantu njengoba kwenza umkhuhlane wezingulube ngo-2009.
Imithetho ye-Federal iyasebenza ukuze kuvikelwe izinkomo namankonyane awile, kodwa i-Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) yoMnyango Wezolimo wase-US (i-USDA) yenqabile ukusungula okufanayo ezingulubeni eziwisiwe. Ubuholi be-FSIS bumemezele ukuthi ngeke bathathe isinyathelo ngezingulube eziwisiwe kuze kube yilapho kuvela usongo olulingana ne-bovine spongiform encephalopathy, noma “isifo senkomo esihlanyayo,”. Kodwa akumele silinde inhlekelele yezempilo yomphakathi. Siyibonile imithelela elimazayo yezifo ezibangelwa ukulima kwezilwane ezimbonini - ezilwaneni nakubantu - futhi kufanele sisuse izingulube eziwile ohlelweni lokudla ngaphambi kokuba kuphuze kakhulu.
I-Pigs and Public Health Act izovikela impilo yomuntu futhi ivikele amakhulu ezinkulungwane zezilwane ubuhlungu nokuhlupheka okungadingekile ngokusebenzisa izinyathelo ezisebenzayo:
- Ukudala amazinga okuphatha izingulube emapulazini, ngesikhathi sokuthutha kanye nalapho kuhlatshwa.
- Ukukhipha izingulube eziwile ohlelweni lokudla.
- Ukuthuthukisa ingosi ye-inthanethi yezempilo yomphakathi yabasebenzi bezolimo, okuhlanganisa abasebenzi nosonkontileka, ukuze bakhulume ngokuphulwa kwamazinga omthethosivivinywa ahlobene nokuphepha kwabasebenzi kanye nenhlalakahle yezilwane. I-USDA kanye noMnyango Wezobulungiswa bazokwengamela lephothali eku-inthanethi futhi kudingeke ukuthi bakhiphe umbiko waminyaka yonke ohlanganisiwe wakho konke ukuthunyelwa kwephothali.
Ukubaluleka kwalo mthetho kusesikhathini kakhulu njengoba umkhuhlane wezinyoni wezinyoni (umkhuhlane wezinyoni) ubhebhetheka emapulazini, uthelele izilwane - okuhlanganisa izinkomo zobisi - kanye nabasebenzi. Ochwepheshe baxwayisa ngokuthi izingulube zingaba umkhuhlane omubi nakakhulu we-bird flu, uma kubhekwa irekhodi lezingulube eziphethe amagciwane omkhuhlane agxumela kubantu. Abasebenzi bezolimo basengozini ngokukhethekile kulezi zingozi zezempilo zomphakathi, njengoba bephoqeleka ukuthi baphathe lezi zingulube ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka ukuze kusizakale umkhakha wemboni. Abasebenzi kumele futhi babekezelele ubunzima bomzimba nengqondo bokuzama ukulayisha, ukuthulula kanye nokuhlaba izilwane ezingakwazi ukuhamba ngokukhululeka zodwa futhi ezicindezeleke kakhulu.
"Inzuzo enkulu Yenyama ngokungazinaki izingulube kuzo zonke izigaba zokulima kwefekthri futhi ayinayo imali yokuphatha izilwane kangcono," kusho uFrances Chrzan, umphathi omkhulu wenqubomgomo yenhlangano ye-Mercy For Animals, e-US "I-USDA inikeze imboni ilayisense lokuxhaphaza izilwane izindlela ezesabekayo ezinjalo - kuze kube seqophelweni lokunganyakazi - ngokuvumela ukuhlatshwa kwezingulube ezigulayo noma ezilimele kanye nokudayiswa kwenyama yazo kubathengi abangazi. I-Mercy For Animals ishayela ihlombe omele u-Escobar ngokulwela iPigs and Public Health Act ukuvikela izingulube nabantu ngokufanayo. Ukwenqabela ukuhlatshwa kwezingulube ezidiliziwe ngeke nje kunciphise ukuhlupheka kwazo okungadingekile kodwa kuphoqelele isandla seBig Meat ukuba sithuthukise izinga lenhlalakahle yezilwane futhi kuvimbele izingulube ukuba zingawi kwasekuqaleni.”
"Sekuyiminyaka i-congress yehlulekile ukusekela imithethonqubo embonini yengulube yase-US eqinisekisa izimo zokusebenza eziphephile kanye nokuphathwa kobuntu kwezilwane ezifuywayo," kusho u- Rep. Escobar . “Ubungozi obulethwa izingulube eziwile empilweni yomphakathi busaqhubeka nokuba yinkinga, yingakho i-PPA iyisinyathelo esibalulekile endleleni efanele. Imodeli yokulima efekthri njengoba injalo namuhla yandisa amathuba ezifo ezithathelwanayo kubantu abavela ezilwaneni. Amabhizinisi amakhulu ezolimo azisa inzuzo esheshayo ngaphezu kokuphepha kwabasebenzi bawo kanye nokungafihli lutho kwabathengi ami endleleni yokunqanda lolu songo empilweni yomphakathi. Siyabonga ngokubambisana ne-Mercy For Animals kanye nabanye abagqugquzeli abagqamise lezi zinkinga ezibucayi. Senze ukuvikela okufanayo embonini yezinkomo; manje sekuyisikhathi sokuthi sithathe isinyathelo embonini yengulube. I-PPA izothuthukisa amazinga, izindlela zokuziphendulela, ukubeka izinto obala, nokuqoqwa kolwazi. "
“Izingulube ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-120 zifuyelwa ukudla e-US unyaka ngamunye, iningi lazo elichitha ukuphila kwalo emabhokisini angenalutho noma ezibayeni emapulazini efektri,” kusho u- Chelsea Blink, umqondisi wemithetho yezilwane zasemapulazini e-ASPCA . “Ingxenye yesigidi yalezo zingulube ziyawa, ziba buthakathaka noma zigule kangangokuthi azikwazi ukuma, okubangela ukuhlupheka okukhulu, ngaphezu kokubeka engcupheni enkulu ekuphepheni kokudla. Sishayela ihlombe uMmeleli u-Escobar ngokwethula uMthetho Wezingulube Nezempilo Yomphakathi, ozogcina uqinisekisa ukuthi izindinganiso zenhlalakahle yezilwane ze-commonsense ziyasebenza ukuze kuvikelwe izingulube onyameni ngesikhathi zithuthwa nalapho zihlatshwa kuyilapho ekhuthaza izimo ezingcono zasepulazini ukuze zithuthukise inhlalakahle yazo iyonke.”
"Abasebenzi bezitshalo nabahloli bokuphepha kokudla basebenza ngokubambisana ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi imindeni yaseMelika ithola imikhiqizo yengulube ephephile," kusho u- Paula Schelling Soldner, usihlalo we-AFGE's National Joint Council of Food Inspection Locals . “Kubalulekile ekuphepheni kokudla kwethu ukuthi abasebenzi bakwazi ukubika ngokuhlukunyezwa kwezokuphepha ngaphandle kokwesaba ukuziphindiselela. I-American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) icela iCongress ukuthi iphasise lo mthethosivivinywa obalulekile ukuvikela abathengi baseMelika. "
Manje yisikhathi sokuthi uhulumeni wase-US abhekane nemithethonqubo yezingulube ezehlisiwe - ngaphambi kwenhlekelele yezempilo yomphakathi. I-USDA akufanele ilinde ukuqubuka kwesifo ukuze ithathe isinyathelo sokuvikela izingulube ezihluphekayo kanye nomphakathi. I-Mercy For Animals icela abameleli ukuthi basekele uMthetho Wezingulube Nezempilo Yomphakathi futhi bafake izinhlinzeko zawo kuMthethosivivinywa Wepulazi ukusiza inqwaba yezilwane ezifuywayo nokuvikela abantu baseMelika ezifweni ze-zoonotic.
