Impi eqhubekayo yomthetho ngekusasa lenhlalakahle yezilwane zasemapulazini e-United States ifinyelele esimeni esibucayi. Uhlaka olusha lweSigele Lomthethosivivinywa Wepulazi, oluqiniswe yizinhlinzeko ezivela kuSenator Cory Booker's Farm System Reform Act kanye ne-Industrial Agriculture Accountability Act, luthembisa inqubekelaphambili ebalulekile ekunqandeni ukulima kwamafekthri kanye nokukhuthaza izinqubo zezolimo . Lolu hlaka lubandakanya izindlela zokusiza abalimi ekuhlukaneni ne-Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) futhi ligunyaze ukuba kube sobala okukhulu ekubikweni kwezehlakalo zokuncipha kwezilwane, okuwuphawu loshintsho olubalulekile oluya ohlelweni lokudla olunobulungiswa futhi oluhambisana nemvelo.
Kodwa-ke, le nqubekelaphambili isongelwa yinguqulo yeNdlu yoMthethosivivinywa wePulazi, ohlanganisa noMthetho oyimpikiswano Wokuqeda Ukuhwebelana Kwezolimo (EATS).
Lesi senzo sibeka engcupheni engathi sína kuziphathimandla zezwe nezasekhaya phezu kwemithetho yokuvikela izilwane, okungenzeka kubukela phansi iminyaka yokukhulumela kanye nezinzuzo zomthetho. Njengoba inkulumo-mpikiswano ishuba, ababambiqhaza kanye nabameli bayacelwa ukuthi bahlanganyele futhi baqinisekise ukuthi umthetho wokugcina ubeka eqhulwini inhlalakahle yezilwane zasemapulazini kanye nobuqotho bemithetho yobuntu. Impi eqhubekayo yomthetho mayelana nekusasa lenhlalakahle yezilwane zasemapulazini e-United States ifinyelele esimeni esibucayi. Uhlaka lomthethosivivinywa omusha wePulazi leSenethi Uhlaka lomthethosivivinywa izinhlinzeko kusuka kuSenator Cory Booker’s Farm System Reform Act kanye noMthetho Wokuziphendulela kwe-Industrial Agriculture, uthembisa inqubekelaphambili ebalulekile ekunqandeni ukulima kwasefekthri nasekukhuthazeni izenzo zezolimo ezinobuntu nezisimeme. Lolu hlaka lubandakanya izinyathelo zokusiza abalimi ekusukeni e-Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) futhi ligunyaze ukuba sobala okukhulu ekubikweni kwezehlakalo zokuchithwa kwezilwane, okubonisa ushintsho olubalulekile oluya ohlelweni lokudla olunobulungisa futhi olunobungani nemvelo.
Kodwa-ke, le nqubekelaphambili isongelwa yinguqulo yeNdlu yoMthethosivivinywa Wepulazi, ohlanganisa noMthetho Wokuqeda Ukuhwebelana Kwezolimo (EATS) oyimpikiswano. Lesi senzo sibeka engcupheni engathi sína kuziphathimandla zezwe nezasendaweni phezu kwemithetho yokuvikela isilwane, okungenzeka kubukela phansi iminyaka yokumela kanye nezinzuzo zomthetho. Njengoba inkulumo-mpikiswano ishuba, ababambiqhaza kanye nabameli bayacelwa ukuthi bahlanganyele futhi baqinisekise ukuthi umthetho wokugcina ubeka eqhulwini inhlalakahle yezilwane zasemapulazini kanye nobuqotho bemithetho yabantu.
I-Senate Farm Bill Framework Signals Izinyathelo Ezibalulekile Zezilwane Zasepulazini. Kodwa I-House Framework Isethula I-EATS Act Threat.
Kulandela iminyaka emibili yokunxenxa iFarm Sanctuary nezinye izinhlangano ezihlangene, uhlaka olusha lweSenate Farm Bill luhlanganisa izinhlinzeko ezibalulekile ezivela kuSenator Cory Booker's Farm System Reform Act kanye noMthetho Wokuziphendulela Kwezolimo Wezimboni. Uma lolu limi luhlala kuMthethosivivinywa wePulazi, luzoletha inqubekelaphambili ebalulekile ekulweni nokulima kwamafekthri okucekela phansi.
Uhlaka lweSenethi Lomthethosivivinywa Wepulazi luhlanganisa ukuhlinzekwa okuvela kuMthetho Wokuguqulwa Kwesistimu Yepulazi ozosiza ukunqanda ukulima kwamafekthri ngokunikeza abalimi amathuba nezinsiza ukuze basuke ekusebenziseni i-Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). Lolu hlaka lunweba inhloso yoHlelo Lokubambisana Lokulondolozwa Kwesifunda ukuze lufake “ukwenza lula ukuguqulwa kusukela ekusebenzeni okugxilile kokuphakela izilwane ukuya ezinhlelweni zokukhiqiza zezolimo ezivumelana nesimo sezulu (okuhlanganisa amadlelo avuselelayo, amahlathi, i-organic, kanye nezinhlelo ezihlukahlukene zokukhiqiza izitshalo nemfuyo).”
Ukwengeza amathuba oshintsho lwamapulazi embonini kuya kokubalulekile kweFarm Bill kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile endleleni efanele yokususa uxhaso lukahulumeni kanye nezinsiza kude nezolimo zezilwane ezimbonini nokudala uhlelo lokudla olunobulungiswa futhi oluzinzile.
Lolu hlaka luhlanganisa nokuhlinzekwa okuvela ku-Senator Booker's Industrial Agriculture Accountability Act ezokwenza imboni yepulazi yefekthri iphendule ngezindlela zokubulala ezinonya , njengokuvalwa komoya, lapho izilwane zifa kancane ngenxa yokushisa.
Isidingo sokubika sonyaka “sokwehla kwenani labantu” “ Sidinga uNobhala WezoLimo ukuthi ahlanganise futhi enze umbiko wonyaka utholakale esidlangalaleni oqukethe ulwazi mayelana nokuphothula koMnyango imicimbi yokuchithwa kwezilwane okuhlanganisa nenani lezehlakalo, isifunda sendawo, izinhlobo zezilwane, indlela kanye nezindleko zokuchithwa kwabantu, kanye nesizathu sokuncipha kwabantu.” Lesi yisinyathelo esibalulekile sokubeka izinto obala ngokuphathelene nokuphathwa nokuhlatshwa kwezilwane zasemapulazini.
Ukulima kwezilwane kuye kwadlondlobala kuyilapho izilwane, izisebenzi, imiphakathi, nendawo yethu ikhokha inani. Ngenxa yeminyaka eminingi yokumelwa yiFarm Sanctuary kanye nabameli abanomqondo ofanayo, uhlaka olusha lweSenate Farm Bill luyabona ukuthi kubaluleke kakhulu kunangaphambili ukuguqula uxhaso lwenhlangano lubhekise ekukhiqizweni kokudla okusisiza sonke.
Yize uhlaka lweSenate Farm Bill lumelela inqubekelaphambili ebalulekile, sidinga usizo lwakho ukuze sinqobe usongo emithethweni yobuntu kuhlaka loMthethosivivinywa Wepulazi Le-House . Okusalungiswa kweNdlu kuqukethe ulimi oluhlobene Nomthetho Wokuqeda Ukuhwebelana Kwezolimo (EATS), obukela phansi iziphathimandla zezwe nezasekhaya ukuze kuphoqelelwe imithetho yokuvikela izilwane emapulazini.
Siyabonga ngolimi olukulolu hlaka lwamanje lohlaka lomthethosivivinywa weSenate Farm Bill ka-2024 olukhuthaza ukuqhela ekulimeni kwasembonini, futhi siyabazisa ubuholi bukaSenator Booker kulolu daba. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, sikhathazeke kakhulu ngokuthi uhlaka lweNdlu luhlanganisa nolimi oluphuma ku-EATS Act olubukela phansi imithetho yezwe yobuntu, futhi sizosebenzela ukuthi lususwe.
U-Gene Baur, uMongameli kanye nomsunguli we-Farm Sanctuary, indawo engcwele yezwe enikezelwe ukuhlenga izilwane zasemapulazini kanye nokumela
