Esinqumweni esiyingqopha-mlando, iPhalamende lase-UK ligunyaze ngokusemthethweni ukuvinjelwa kokuthunyelwa kwezilwane eziphilayo ukuze zikhuluphele noma zihlatshwe, okuphetha umkhankaso ongapheli weminyaka engu-50 wezinhlangano zokuvikela izilwane. Lesi sinyathelo esiyingqopha-mlando sihlelelwe ukudambisa ukuhlupheka kwezigidi zezilwane ezifuywayo ezingaphansi kwezimo ezinzima ngesikhathi zithuthwa, okuhlanganisa amazinga okushisa aphakeme, ukuminyana, indlala, ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, ukugula kanye nokukhathala. Lo mthetho omusha ukhombisa ukwesekwa okukhulu kwama-87% wabavoti base-UK futhi uqondanisa izwe nomnyakazo okhulayo womhlaba wonke wokulwa nesihluku sokuthumela izilwane bukhoma.
Amazwe afana neBrazil neNew Zealand asanda kushaya imithetho efanayo, ekhombisa ushintsho emhlabeni wonke olubheke ekuphathweni kobuntu okwengeziwe kwezilwane. Lokhu kunqoba kuwubufakazi bemizamo engakhathali yamaqembu afana ne-Compassion in World Farming (CIWF), i-Kent Action Against Live Exports (KAALE), kanye ne-Animal Equality, abe semqoka ekukhuthazeni lesi sizathu ngezenzo zomphakathi kanye nokunxenxa uhulumeni. Ukuvinjelwa akugcini nje ngokuphawula ingqopha-mlando enhlalakahleni yezilwane kodwa futhi kuvula indlela yekusasa elinozwela. Esinqumweni esiyingqopha-mlando, iPhalamende lase-UK ligunyaze ngokusemthethweni ukuvinjelwa kokuthunyelwa kwezilwane eziphilayo ukuze zikhuluphele noma zihlatshwe, okuphothula umkhankaso ongapheli weminyaka engu-50 wezinhlangano zokuvikela izilwane. Lesi sinyathelo esiyingqopha-mlando sihlelelwe ukudambisa ukuhlupheka kwezigidi zezilwane ezifuywayo ezingaphansi kwezimo ezinzima ngesikhathi sokuthutha, okuhlanganisa amazinga okushisa adlulele, ukuminyana, indlala, ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, ukugula, kanye nokukhathala. Lo mthetho omusha ukhombisa ukwesekwa okukhulu kwama-87% wabavoti base-UK futhi uqondanise izwe nomnyakazo okhulayo womhlaba wonke wokulwa nonya lokuthekelisa izilwane bukhoma. Amazwe afana ne-Brazil kanye ne-New Zealand asanda ukwenza ukuvinjelwa okufanayo, okubonisa—ushintsho emhlabeni jikelele oluya ekuphathweni kobuntu okwengeziwe. Lokhu kunqoba kuwubufakazi bemizamo yokungakhathali yamaqembu afana neCompassion in World Farming (CIWF), Kent Action Against Live Exports (KAALE), kanye ne-Animal Equality, abe semqoka ekukhuthazeni lokhu ngomphakathi. izenzo kanye nokunxenxa uhulumeni. Ukuvinjelwa akumaki nje ingqopha-mlando enhlalakahleni yezilwane kodwa futhi kuvula indlela yekusasa elinozwelo.
IPhalamende lase-UK ekugcineni ligunyaze ukuvinjwa kokuthuthwa kwezilwane bukhoma, okufike ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi amahlanu yokumela.
Umthetho omusha e-UK uzoqeda ukuthunyelwa kwezilwane ezifuywayo ukuze zikhuluphele noma zihlatshwe, kuphele amashumi eminyaka okuhlupheka kwezigidi zezilwane. Lo mthetho uphawula ukuphela kweminyaka engama-50 yokukhankasela izinhlangano ezihlukahlukene zokuvikela izilwane, okuhlanganisa nokulingana kwezilwane.
Ukuhlupheka ngesikhathi sokuthekelisa
Unyaka ngamunye, izilwane zase-UK ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-1.5 zibhekana nezimo ezimbi kakhulu—kuhlanganise nezinga lokushisa elidlulele—ohambweni lwazo olude lwaphesheya. Ukuminyana, indlala, ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni, ukugula, nokukhathala kwenza ukuhlupheka kwabo kube kubi nakakhulu.
Ukunyakaza komhlaba wonke kuyanda
Njengoba abangaphezu kuka-87% abavoti base-UK besekela ukuvinjelwa kokuthunyelwa kwezilwane bukhoma, i-UK manje ijoyina inhlangano yomhlaba wonke efuna ukuqeda unya lokuthunyelwa kwempahla bukhoma.
Muva nje, iBrazil ivimbele ukuthunyelwa kwezinkomo eziphilayo eziphuma kuwo wonke amachweba ezwe, kuyilapho iNew Zealand ivimbela ukuthunyelwa kwezinkomo eziphilayo, izimvu, izinyamazane nezimbuzi olwandle ukuze zihlatshwe, zikhuluphaliswe futhi zizale. Kancane kancane, umhlaba uyaqhubeka nokuguqukela ekusaseni elinozwela lezilwane.
Indlela ende eya ekunqobeni
Izinhlangano ezifana neCompassion in World Farming (CIWF) kanye neKent Action Against Live Exports (KAALE) bezihamba phambili kulo mkhankaso. Ukulingana Kwezilwane kusekele lo mkhankaso ngokubamba iqhaza ezenzweni zomphakathi nokubhalela izikhulu zikahulumeni.
Umbono woMqondisi Omkhulu Wezokulingana Kwezilwane e-UK, owagqamisa izingozi ezikhulayo zokuthutha bukhoma, waphinde wanyatheliswa kuyi-Ecologist . Lesi sihloko sahamba phambili, sifundisa izigidi ngomthelela wokuthuthwa kwezilwane kanye nesidingo sokuvinjelwa.
Lolu wusuku oluhle lokubungaza futhi osekunesikhathi eside lulindelwe. Sekungamashumi eminyaka izilwane zibekezelela lezi zinto eziwubuwula nezinzima ezithunyelwa kuleli zwekazi, kodwa akusafani! Ngiyaziqhenya kakhulu ngabasekeli bethu, ukuzinikela kwabo nokuphikelela kwabo kube nesandla kulokhu kunqoba okulwiwe kanzima.

Impi iyaqhubeka
Nakuba ukuvinjelwa kwe-UK kuyisinyathelo esiyingqopha-mlando sezilwane ezifuywayo, kulindeleke ukuthi kubhekane nokuphikiswa okuvela embonini yokulima efekthri kanye nemikhakha ethile yezepolitiki. Abameli bezilwane bathembise ukuqapha isimo futhi baqinisekise ukuthi ukuvinjelwa kwenziwa ngempumelelo.
Ingabe usukulungele ukwenza isibambiso ezilwaneni? Ukunciphisa isidingo semikhiqizo yezilwane kuyindlela engcono kakhulu yokusekela lo mphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe wabakhulumeli. Joyina izigidi emhlabeni wonke eziqale uhambo lwazo olusekelwe ezitshalweni, zivikela izilwane ekuhluphekeni kukho konke ukudla. I-Love Veg ilungisele ababhalisile bayo incwadi yokupheka yedijithali, inikeze abasaqalayo ngamathuluzi adingekayo ukuze baqale uhambo lwabo olusekelwe ezitshalweni.
PHILA NGOMUSA
Ngokuphila okucebile ngokomzwelo kanye nezibopho zomndeni ezinganqamuki, izilwane ezifuywayo zifanelwe ukuvikelwa.
Ungakha umhlaba onomusa ngokushintsha imikhiqizo yokudla kwezilwane ufake esekelwe ezitshalweni.
