UMimi Behechi, inhloko yenhlangano elwela amalungelo ezilwane e-UK, ungumuntu onobungane kakhulu onozwelo onolwazi oluningi. Njengomqondisi wePETA UK, wengamela imikhankaso, imfundo, ukumaketha kanye nobudlelwano bomphakathi. U-Mimi ukhuluma ngezinguquko enhlanganweni iminyaka engu-8, mayelana nesidlo sakhe esithandayo kanye .. China. Owadabuka eBelgium, umholi wamalungelo ezilwane wesikhathi esizayo wafunda ubudlelwano bomphakathi e-Lancaster, okwathi ngemva kwalokho wathola iziqu zezomthetho eScotland. Namuhla, uMimi ube ne-PETA UK iminyaka engu-8 futhi, ngamazwi akhe, "ujabule ngokuba seqenjini elifanayo elinabantu abahlakaniphile, abakhuthele nabakhathalelayo abagxile ekuthuthukiseni umhlaba." Akunzima ukuqagela, ngingashintsha ukudla komuntu ngamunye kube okusekelwe esitshalweni ngokuphelele. Isizathu sokuthi kungani izilwane zikudinga sisobala, kuyilapho kunezinzuzo eziningana kubantu. Okokuqala, ukufuya imfuyo yenyama akuzuzisi ngokwedlulele ngokombono wezomnotho. Imfuyo idla inqwaba yokusanhlamvu, ikhiqiza inyama encane, ubisi namaqanda yona. Okusanhlamvu okusetshenziselwa ukondla lezi zilwane ezineshwa kungadla abantu abalambile nabaswele. Ukwelusa kungenye yezimbangela zokungcoliswa kwamanzi, ukucekelwa phansi komhlaba, ukukhishwa kwamagesi abamba ukushisa, okuholela ekuguqukeni kwesimo sezulu uma kuhlangene. Izinkomo zizodwa zidla okulingana nezidingo zekhalori zabantu abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-8,7. Ukushintshela ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni kuyisinyathelo esisikhulula ngokushesha ezinkingeni ezinkulu ezibalwe ngenhla. Umbiko wakamuva weNhlangano Yezizwe uphawule ukuthi ushintsho lomhlaba wonke olubheke ku-veganism luyadingeka ukuze kuliwe nemiphumela emibi yokushisa komhlaba. Ekugcineni, ukudla inyama neminye imikhiqizo yezilwane kuye kwahlotshaniswa nesifo senhliziyo, unhlangothi, izinhlobo ezithile zomdlavuza nesifo sikashukela. Izitsha zikamama: i-couscous yemifino kanye nesobho lethanga elinopelepele obomvu! Kuncike kumuntu ngamunye wesilwane ngokwaso, kodwa hhayi uhlobo. Ngingumnikazi oziqhenyayo wamakati amathathu amahle. Banobuntu obuhlukene kakhulu, kodwa ngibathanda bonke ngokulinganayo. Ifilosofi yenhlangano ihlala ingashintshile: abafowethu abancane abahloselwe ukusetshenziswa abantu njengokudla noma uboya, noma ukuhlolwa, noma ukuzijabulisa, nanoma yiluphi olunye uhlobo lokuxhashazwa. Ngingasho ukuthi namuhla sinamathuba amaningi okuqhuba ibhizinisi nge-inthanethi. I-PETA UK ivame ukufinyelela abantu abangaphezu kwesigidi esontweni elilodwa ku-facebook kuphela. Bayakwazi ukufinyelela amavidiyo ethu, isibonelo, mayelana nokwenzeka ezilwaneni eziladeni. Lapho abantu bethola ithuba lokubona konke lokhu ngamehlo abo, ngisho nakuvidiyo, abaningi benza izinqumo ezinhle ezivuna ukulahla imikhiqizo yonya nobudlova.
Ngaphandle kokungabaza. I-Veganism isiba yinto evamile kulezi zinsuku. Ngokocwaningo lwakamuva, i-12% yabantu baseBrithani ihlonza njengabadla imifino noma imifino, kanti isibalo sifinyelela ku-16% phakathi kweqembu leminyaka engu-24-20. Eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, kwakuzodingeka ngisebenze kanzima ukuze ngithole ubisi lwesoya endaweni. Namuhla, endlini eseduze kwami, awukwazi ukuthenga ubisi lwe-soy kuphela, kodwa futhi nobisi lwe-alimondi, ukhukhunathi, nobisi lwe-hemp! Isihloko esikhuluma ngalesi sihloko sithi i-China, lapho imithetho yokuvikela izilwane onyameni emikhakheni emikhulu yezimboni ingekho ngempela. Amacala asabekayo ngempela aqoshiwe lapho, lapho inja ye-raccoon ikhishwa isikhumba iphila nokunye okuningi. Okungaziwa kakhulu iqiniso lokuthi balinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-50 abantu abadla imifino nemifino e-China. Ngakho, inani labalandeli bokudla imifino licishe lilingane nenani labantu baseBrithani. Ngenxa ye-PETA Asia nezinye izinhlangano, ukuqwashisa sekuqala ukukhula. Isibonelo, umkhankaso wakamuva we-inthanethi wokulwa noboya owenziwe yi-PETA Asia uthole amasiginesha acishe abe ngu-350 avela kulo lonke elase-China. UMnyango Wezezindlu kanye Nokuthuthukiswa Kwezindawo Zasemadolobheni Nezasemakhaya e-China wenze isiphakamiso sohlelo lokuvinjelwa okuphelele kwemidlalo yezilwane ezindaweni zokulondoloza izilwane. Ezinye izitolo zikuvimbile ukudayiswa koboya bezimvu. Ngenxa yengxenye yesibonelelo se-PETA US, ososayensi baseShayina bayaqeqeshwa ukuze basuke ekuhlolweni kwezilwane zezimonyo baye ezindleleni zokuhlola ezinembe kakhudlwana nezinobuntu. Izinkampani zezindiza zaseShayina i-Air China ne-China Eastern Airlines zisanda kuyeka ukuthwala izilwane ezifuywayo ngenjongo yokucwaninga nokuhlola elabhorethri enonya. Ngokungangabazeki, kusekuningi okufanele kwenziwe mayelana nokulwela amalungelo ezilwane eShayina, kodwa sibona ukukhula kwabantu abakhathalelayo nabanozwelo.
