Ukuphila
Unyaka ngamunye, e-US kuphela, izinkukhu ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-300 zihlushwa kabuhlungu ezimbonini zamaqanda, futhi konke kuqala kusukela ngosuku lokuqala lokuphila kwenkukhu. Amatshwele akhuliselwe ukukhiqizwa kwamaqanda achanyuselwa kuma-incubator amakhulu, futhi abesilisa nabesifazane bahlukaniswa ngokushesha. Abesilisa, ababhekwa njengabangenanzuzo futhi ngenxa yalokho abangenamsebenzi embonini yamaqanda, bancisha umoya ezikhwameni zikadoti.
Amatshwele esifazane athunyelwa emapulazini amaqanda, lapho ingxenye yoqhwaku lwawo oluzwelayo inqunywa ngensingo eshisayo. Lokhu kucwiywa komzimba kwenziwa amahora noma izinsuku ngemva kokuchanyuselwa futhi ngaphandle kokunciphisa ubuhlungu.
Emapulazini, izinkukhu zigcinwa zivalelwe ngokuphelele, kungaba emakhejini angakwazi ukuhlalisa izinyoni ezifika kweziyi-10 ngesikhathi, noma ezibayeni ezimnyama, eziminyene, lapho inyoni ngayinye inendawo engaba ngu-0,2 square metres kuphela. Kunoma yikuphi, izinyoni zihlala phakathi komchamo womunye nendle.
Izinkukhu ezisetshenziselwa amaqanda zibekezelela lokhu kuhlupheka nokuhlukunyezwa iminyaka emibili zize zibulawe.
Ukufa
Ngenxa yezimo ezicindezelayo nezingcolile ezichazwe ngenhla, izinkukhu eziningi zifela ehhokweni noma esibayeni. Izinkukhu ezisaphila zivame ukuphoqeleka ukuba zihlale eduze nozakwabo abafile noma abafayo, imizimba yabo ngezinye izikhathi ishiywa ukuba ibole.
Ngokushesha lapho izinkukhu ziqala ukukhiqiza amaqanda ambalwa, zibhekwa njengezingenamsebenzi futhi zibulawa. Abanye bashaywa ngegesi, abanye bayiswa ezilaheni.
Zikhethele
Ingabe ukuphila kwenkukhu kubaluleke ngaphezu kwe-omelet? Okuwukuphela kwempendulo eyamukelekayo inguyebo. Izinkukhu ziyizilwane ezithanda ukwazi ezinekhono lokucabanga elilingana namakati, izinja ngisho nezinkawu, ngokusho kososayensi abahamba phambili bokuziphatha kwezilwane. Asisoze safuna ukuba amakati noma izinja zethu ziphathwe ngale ndlela, ngakho akuwona umqondo omuhle ukusekela ukuphathwa kabi okunjalo kwanoma isiphi isidalwa.
“Ngithenga amaqanda aphilayo kuphela,” abaningi bathi. Ngeshwa, lezi izaba azisho lutho ezinkukhwini. Olunye uphenyo lwe-PETA ngemva kolunye lubonisa ukuthi ubuxhwanguxhwangu obuchazwe ngenhla busabalele nasemapulazini “amahhala” noma “angenawo amakheji”. Ezinye zezithombe ezinonya zaqoshwa emapulazini aphethwe yizinkampani ezihlinzeka ngamaqanda ezitolo zokudla okuphilayo ezifana ne-Kroger, i-Whole Foods ne-Costco.
Okuwukuphela kwendlela enokwethenjelwa yokuvikela izinkukhu onyameni ukwenqaba ukudla imizimba namaqanda azo. Ziningi ezinye izindlela ezihlwabusayo esikhundleni samaqanda. Ukuba yi-vegan akukaze kube lula kangako!
