I-Factory Farming - Humane Foundation

I-Factory Farming yembula amaqiniso afihliwe ezolimo zezilwane zanamuhla—uhlelo olwakhelwe inzuzo ephezulu ngezindleko zenhlalakahle yezilwane, impilo yemvelo, kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo wokuziphatha. Kulesi sigaba, sihlola ukuthi izilwane ezinjengezinkomo, izingulube, izinkukhu, izinhlanzi, nezinye eziningi zikhuliswa kanjani ezimweni ezivalekile, zezimboni ezenzelwe ukusebenza kahle, hhayi ububele. Kusukela ekuzalweni kuya ekuhlatshweni, lezi zidalwa ezinengqondo ziphathwa njengezingxenye zokukhiqiza kunabantu abanekhono lokuhlupheka, ukwakha izibopho, noma ukuzibandakanya ekuziphatheni kwemvelo.
Isigaba ngasinye sihlola izindlela ezithile zokulima kwezimboni ezithinta ngazo izinhlobo ezahlukene zezilwane. Sithola unya ngemuva kokukhiqizwa kobisi nenyama yenkomo, ukuhlupheka kwengqondo okubekezelelwa yizingulube, izimo ezinonya zokufuya izinkukhu, ukuhlupheka okunganakwa kwezilwane zasemanzini, kanye nokuthengiswa kwezimbuzi, onogwaja, nezinye izilwane ezifuywayo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngokusebenzisa ukulawulwa kwezakhi zofuzo, ukuminyana ngokweqile, ukucwiywa ngaphandle kokubulala izinzwa, noma amazinga okukhula okusheshayo aholela ekukhubazekeni okubuhlungu, ukulima kwezimboni kubeka phambili umkhiqizo kunenhlalakahle.
Ngokudalula le mikhuba, lesi sigaba siphonsela inselelo umbono ojwayelekile wezolimo zezimboni njengokudingekile noma kwemvelo. Imema abafundi ukuthi babhekane nezindleko zenyama eshibhile, amaqanda, kanye nobisi—hhayi nje kuphela ngokuhlupheka kwezilwane, kodwa maqondana nomonakalo wemvelo, izingozi zempilo yomphakathi, kanye nokungaguquguquki kokuziphatha. Ukulima kwasefektri akuyona nje indlela yokulima; kuyisimiso somhlaba wonke esidinga ukuhlolwa okuphuthumayo, ukuguqulwa, futhi ekugcineni, ukuguqulwa kube izinhlelo zokudla ezinesimilo nezisimeme.

Ulwandle lumboza ngaphezu kuka-70% wobuso boMhlaba futhi luyikhaya lezinhlobo ezahlukene zezinto eziphilayo zasemanzini. Eminyakeni yamuva nje, isidingo sezinhlanzi zasolwandle siholele ekukhuleni kwamapulazi olwandle nezinhlanzi njengendlela yokudoba okusimeme. La mapulazi, aziwa nangokuthi ukufuywa kwezinhlanzi zasemanzini, avame ukunconywa njengesixazululo sokudoba ngokweqile kanye nendlela yokuhlangabezana nesidingo esikhulayo sezinhlanzi zasolwandle. Kodwa-ke, ngaphansi kobuso kukhona iqiniso elimnyama lomthelela la mapulazi anawo ezintweni eziphilayo zasemanzini. Nakuba zingase zibonakale njengesixazululo ebusweni, iqiniso liwukuthi amapulazi olwandle nezinhlanzi angaba nemiphumela emibi kakhulu emvelweni nasezilwaneni ezibiza ulwandle njengekhaya. Kulesi sihloko, sizongena shí ezweni lokufuywa kolwandle nezinhlanzi futhi sidalule imiphumela efihliwe esongela izinto eziphilayo zasemanzini ethu. Kusukela ekusetshenzisweni kwama-antibiotic kanye nezibulala-zinambuzane kuya ku-…

Izingulube, ezaziwa ngokuhlakanipha kwazo kanye nokujula kwazo ngokomzwelo, zibekezelela ukuhlupheka okungenakucatshangwa ngaphakathi kohlelo lokulima lwefektri. Kusukela emikhubeni yokulayisha enobudlova kuya ezimweni zokuthutha ezinzima kanye nezindlela zokubulala ezingenabuntu, izimpilo zazo ezimfushane ziphawulwa unya olungapheli. Lesi sihloko siveza amaqiniso anzima abhekene nalezi zilwane ezinomusa, siqokomisa isidingo esiphuthumayo soshintsho embonini ebeka phambili inzuzo kunenhlalakahle

Izinkukhu ezisinda ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu zamashedi enkukhu noma amakheji ebhethri zivame ukuhlukunyezwa kakhulu njengoba zithuthwa ziyiswa esilaheni. Lezi zinkukhu, ezikhuliswe ukuze zikhule ngokushesha ukuze zikhiqizwe inyama, zibekezelela izimpilo zokuvalelwa kakhulu kanye nokuhlupheka ngokomzimba. Ngemva kokubekezelela izimo eziminyene nezingcolile emashedini, uhambo lwazo oluya esilaheni luyiphupho elibi. Njalo ngonyaka, amashumi ezigidi zezinkukhu ahlushwa amaphiko nemilenze ephukile ngenxa yokuphathwa kabi ezibhekana nakho ngesikhathi sokuthuthwa. Lezi zinyoni ezibuthakathaka zivame ukuphonswa ngapha nangapha futhi ziphathwe kabi, okubangela ukulimala nokucindezeleka. Ezimweni eziningi, zopha igazi zize zife, zingakwazi ukusinda ekulimaleni kokucwiliswa emabhokisini agcwele kakhulu. Uhambo oluya esilaheni, olunganwebeka amakhulu amakhilomitha, lunezela osizini. Izinkukhu zipakishwa ziqinile emakhejini zingenandawo yokuhamba, futhi azinikwa ukudla noma amanzi ngesikhathi …

Izigidi zezinkomo zibhekene nokuhlupheka okukhulu embonini yenyama nobisi, usizi lwazo lufihliwe kakhulu emehlweni omphakathi. Kusukela ezimweni ezigcwele kakhulu, ezishisayo zamaloli okuthutha kuya ezikhathini zokugcina ezesabekayo ezindlini zokubulala, lezi zilwane eziphilile zibhekene nokunganakwa okungapheli kanye nonya. Njengoba zinqatshelwe izidingo eziyisisekelo njengokudla, amanzi, kanye nokuphumula phakathi nohambo olude phakathi nesimo sezulu esibi, eziningi zinqotshwa ukukhathala noma ukulimala ngaphambi kokufika endaweni yazo embi. Ezindlini zokubulala, imikhuba eqhutshwa yinzuzo ivame ukuholela ekutheni izilwane zihlale ziqaphile ngesikhathi sezinqubo ezinonya. Lesi sihloko siveza ukuxhashazwa okuhleliwe okugxilile kulezi zimboni ngenkathi sikhuthaza ukuqwashisa okukhulu kanye nokushintshela ekukhetheni okusekelwe ezitshalweni njengendlela yozwela eya phambili

Njalo ngonyaka, izigidi zezilwane zasemapulazini zibhekana nohambo olunzima ekuhwebeni kwemfuyo emhlabeni wonke, zifihliwe ekubonweni komphakathi kodwa zigcwele ukuhlupheka okungenakucatshangwa. Zigcwele amaloli agcwele kakhulu, imikhumbi, noma izindiza, lezi zidalwa eziphilile zibhekene nezimo ezinzima—isimo sezulu esibi kakhulu, ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, ukukhathala—konke ngaphandle kokudla okwanele noma ukuphumula. Kusukela ezinkomeni nasezingulubeni kuya ezinkukhu nakonogwaja, azikho izinhlobo ezisindayo ekuthuthweni kwezilwane eziphilayo okunonya. Lo mkhuba awugcini nje ngokuphakamisa ukukhathazeka okwesabekayo kokuziphatha kanye nenhlalakahle kodwa futhi uqokomisa ukwehluleka kwesistimu ekuphoqeleleni amazinga okuphathwa kobuntu. Njengoba abathengi beqaphela kakhulu lobu budlova obufihliwe, ubizo loshintsho lukhula kakhulu—lufuna ukuzibophezela kanye nozwelo embonini eqhutshwa yinzuzo ngezindleko zokuphila kwezilwane

Ukulima kwasefektri, okwaziwa nangokuthi ukulima kwezimboni, sekuyinto evamile ekukhiqizweni kokudla emhlabeni wonke. Nakuba kungase kuthembise ukusebenza kahle kanye nezindleko eziphansi, iqiniso lezilwane ezisemafektri liyesabeka kakhulu. Izingulube, ezivame ukubhekwa njengezidalwa ezihlakaniphile kakhulu nezenhlalo, zibekezelela ezinye zezindlela ezinonya kakhulu nezingenabuntu kulezi zikhungo. Lesi sihloko sizohlola izindlela eziyisithupha ezinonya kakhulu izingulube ezihlukunyezwa ngazo emafektri, sikhanyise ngonya olufihliwe olwenzeka ngemuva kweminyango evaliwe. Amabhokisi Okukhulelwa Inqubo yokuzalanisa izilwane ukuze zidliwe ingenye yemikhuba exhaphaza kakhulu kwezolimo zezimboni zanamuhla. Izingulube zesifazane, ezaziwa ngokuthi "izinsikazi," zisetshenziswa ekulimeni kwasefektri ngokuyinhloko ngenxa yamandla azo okuzala. Lezi zilwane zivundiswa ngokuphindaphindiwe ngokuzalanisa okwenziwe ngokwenziwa, okuholela ekuzalweni kwamathole angaba yizingulube ezincane ezingu-12 ngesikhathi. Lo mjikelezo wokuzala ngokucophelela …

Amakethi okukhulelwa ezingulube ayindlela ephikisana kakhulu ekulimeni kwezilwane zanamuhla. Lezi zindawo ezincane, ezivalekile zisetshenziselwa ukuhlalisa izingulube zesifazane, noma izingulubekazi, ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kwazo. Lo mkhuba uvuse impikiswano enkulu ngokuziphatha mayelana nenhlalakahle yezilwane, njengoba uvame ukuphumela ekucindezelekeni okukhulu ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo kwezilwane ezihilelekile. Lesi sihloko sihlola ukuthi ayini amakethi okukhulelwa, ukuthi kungani esetshenziswa ekulimeni kwezimboni, kanye nokukhathazeka kokuziphatha akuphakamisayo. Ayini Amakethi Okukhulelwa? Amakethi okukhulelwa, abizwa nangokuthi izitebele zezingulube, ayizindawo ezincane, ezivalekile ezenziwe ngensimbi noma ngocingo ezenzelwe ukubamba izingulube ezikhulelwe (izingulubekazi) ezindaweni zokulima zezimboni. Lawa makethi enzelwe ngqo ukuvimbela ukunyakaza kwengulube ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kwayo, okunikeza indawo encane yokusebenza ngokomzimba. Ngokuvamile angabi ngaphezu kwamamitha amabili ububanzi namamitha ayisikhombisa ubude, umklamo uncane ngamabomu, okuvumela ingulube ukuba ime noma ilale …

Ukudla kwasolwandle kuyinto ebalulekile ekudleni komhlaba wonke, kodwa uhambo lwako oluya emapuletini ethu luvame ukuba nezindleko ezifihliwe. Ngemuva kokukhanga kwama-sushi rolls kanye nama-fish fillets kulele imboni egcwele ukuxhashazwa, lapho ukudoba ngokweqile, imikhuba ebhubhisayo, kanye nokuphathwa kabi kwezilwane zasemanzini kuyinto evamile. Kusukela emapulazini okufuya izilwane zasemanzini agcwele kakhulu kuya ekubanjweni okungahleliwe ngamanetha amakhulu okudoba, izidalwa ezingenakubalwa ezizwayo zibekezelela ukuhlupheka okukhulu zingabonakali. Ngenkathi izingxoxo zenhlalakahle yezilwane zivame ukugxila ezinhlotsheni zasemanzini, impilo yasolwandle isalokhu inganakwa kakhulu naphezu kokubhekana nezimo ezimbi ngokufanayo. Njengoba ulwazi lukhula ngalezi zihlukumezi ezinganakwa, kukhona ukubizwa okukhulayo kwamalungelo ezilwane zasemanzini kanye nokukhetha ukudla kwasolwandle okunezimiso zokuziphatha—okunikeza ithemba kokubili ezindaweni zemvelo zasolwandle kanye nezimpilo ezizisekelayo

Isikhathi eside kakhulu, inganekwane yokuthi izinhlanzi azikwazi ukuzwa ubuhlungu iye yathethelela unya olusakazekile ekudobeni nasekufuyweni kwezinhlanzi. Kodwa-ke, ubufakazi besayensi obukhulayo buveza iqiniso elihluke kakhulu: izinhlanzi zinezakhiwo zezinzwa kanye nezimpendulo zokuziphatha ezidingekayo ukuze zibhekane nobuhlungu, ukwesaba, kanye nokucindezeleka. Kusukela emikhubeni yokudoba yezentengiselwano ebangela ukuhlupheka isikhathi eside kuya ezinhlelweni zokufuya izilwane ezigcwele ukucindezeleka nezifo, izigidigidi zezinhlanzi zibhekana nokulimala okungenakucatshangwa minyaka yonke. Lesi sihloko sigxila kwisayensi engemuva kokuqonda izinhlanzi, sidalula ukwehluleka kokuziphatha kwalezi zimboni, futhi sisiphonsela inselelo yokuthi sicabange kabusha ngobuhlobo bethu nokuphila kwasemanzini—sikhuthaza izinqumo zozwela ezibeka phambili inhlalakahle yezilwane kunokuxhashazwa

Izingulube sezilokhu zihlotshaniswa nempilo yasepulazini, ngokuvamile zibhekwa njengezilwane ezingcolile nezingenangqondo. Kodwa-ke, izifundo zakamuva ziphonsela inselelo lo mbono, zisikisela ukuthi izingulube zingase zibe zihlakaniphe kakhulu kunalokho esasikucabanga. Eqinisweni, izingulube zibonisa amakhono okuqonda afana nalawo ezinye izilwane ezincane. Lesi sihloko sihlola umhlaba wokuqonda izingulube, sihlola ubufakazi obuveza izingulube njengezidalwa ezihlakaniphe kakhulu ezikwazi ukuziphatha okuyinkimbinkimbi nokuxazulula izinkinga. Ingabe izingulube zihlakaniphile? Impela, izingulube ziyizilwane ezihlakaniphile ngempela! Amashumi eminyaka ocwaningo nokubuka ahlinzeke ubufakazi obuqinile bamakhono azo okuqonda amangalisayo. Izingulube aziyinkimbinkimbi ngokomzwelo kuphela kodwa futhi ziyakwazi ukuzwa imizwa ehlukahlukene efana neyabantu, okuhlanganisa injabulo, injabulo, ukwesaba, nokukhathazeka. Amandla azo okwakha izinkumbulo ayamangalisa, futhi zingagcina ulwazi olubalulekile isikhathi eside. Leli khono lokukhumbula lidlala indima ebalulekile ekuxazululeni izinkinga zazo nasekuzivumelaniseni nezimo. Emphakathini, izingulube zibonisa ukuthi zithuthukile …
