"Aloha, ʻo wau ʻo Moby a he vegan wau."
Pēlā e hoʻomaka ai kahi ʻatikala i kākau ʻia e ka mea hoʻokani pila, ka mea mele, ka haku mele, ka DJ a me ka mea hana pono holoholona ʻo Moby i loko o ka magazine Rolling Stone. ʻO kēia hoʻolauna maʻalahi e ukali ʻia e kahi moʻolelo hoʻopā e pili ana i ka lilo ʻana o Moby i vegan. ʻO ke aloha i nā holoholona, i hoʻomaka i ka wā ʻōpiopio.
Ma hope o ka wehewehe ʻana i kahi kiʻi i paʻi ʻia i ka wā ʻelua pule wale nō ʻo Moby, a aia ʻo ia i ka hui o nā holoholona, a nānā lākou kekahi i kekahi, kākau ʻo Moby: ʻO ia ala, ka mea aʻu i ʻike ai: aloha nui a ʻoluʻolu nā holoholona. A laila kākau ʻo ia e pili ana i nā holoholona he nui āna a me kona makuahine i hoʻopakele a mālama ʻia ma ka home. Aia ma waena o lākou ke keiki pipi ʻo Tucker, ka mea i loaʻa iā lākou ma kahi hoʻolei ʻōpala, a mahalo ʻia kahi ʻike i ili mai iā Moby i hoʻololi i kona ola mau loa.
Ma ka ʻoliʻoli ʻana i kāna pōpoki aloha, ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Moby: “I ka noho ʻana ma ke alapiʻi, manaʻo wau, 'Aloha wau i kēia pōpoki. E hana wau i nā mea a pau e pale aku iā ia, e hauʻoli ai a mālama iā ia mai ka pōʻino. ʻEhā mau wāwae, ʻelua mau maka, he lolo kupaianaha a me nā manaʻo waiwai nui. ʻAʻole hoʻi i loko o hoʻokahi trillion makahiki e manaʻo wau e hoʻopōʻino i kēia pōpoki. No laila, no ke aha wau e ʻai ai i nā holoholona ʻē aʻe he ʻehā (a ʻelua paha) mau wāwae, ʻelua mau maka, ka lolo kupaianaha a me nā manaʻo waiwai nui? A e noho ana ma nā ʻanuʻu ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Connecticut me Tucker ka pōpoki, ua lilo wau i mea ʻai meaʻai.
ʻElua makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo Moby i ka pilina ma waena o ka ʻeha holoholona a me ka ʻoihana waiu a me ka hua manu, a ua alakaʻi kēia ʻike lua iā ia e hele i ka vegan. ʻO 27 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo ka pono o nā holoholona ke kumu nui, akā mai ia manawa, ua ʻike ʻo Moby i nā kumu he nui e noho vegan.
"I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, ua hoʻoikaika ʻia koʻu veganism e ka ʻike e pili ana i ke olakino, ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau a me ke kaiapuni," kākau ʻo Moby. “Ua aʻo au ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo, ka waiū a me nā hua manu e pili ana i ka maʻi diabetes, ka maʻi puʻuwai a me ka maʻi kanesa. Ua aʻo au ʻo ka hanai holoholona kalepa ke kuleana no ka 18% o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau (ʻoi aku ma mua o nā kaʻa a pau, nā kaʻa, nā kaʻa, nā moku a me nā mokulele i hui pū ʻia). Ua aʻo au ʻo ka hana ʻana i 1 paona soybeans e pono ai he 200 galani wai, aʻo ka hana ʻana i 1 paona pipi e pono ai he 1800 galani. Ua aʻo au ʻo ke kumu nui o ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana o ka ululāʻau ma ka wao ua, ʻo ia ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā ululāʻau no nā ʻai. Ua aʻo pū au ʻo ka hapa nui o nā zoonoses (SARS, ka maʻi pipi pupule, ka maʻi manu, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe) ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hana holoholona. ʻAe, a, ma ke ʻano he hoʻopaʻapaʻa hope loa: Ua aʻo au ʻo ka meaʻai i hoʻokumu ʻia i nā huahana holoholona a me ka momona i nā momona ke kumu nui o ka maʻi ʻole (me he mea lā ʻaʻole pono wau i nā kumu hou aʻe e lilo i vegan).
Ua ʻae ʻo Moby i ka wā mua ua hoʻopaʻapaʻa loa ʻo ia i kāna mau manaʻo. I ka hopena, ua ʻike ʻo ia he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kāna mau haʻiʻōlelo ma mua o ka maikaʻi, a he hoʻokamani loa.
"Ua ʻike au i ka hopena ʻo ka ʻuā ʻana i ka poʻe [no ka ʻiʻo] ʻaʻole ke ala maikaʻi loa e hoʻolohe ai i kāu mea e ʻōlelo ai," kākau ʻo Moby. "I koʻu uwē ʻana i nā kānaka, hele lākou i ka pale a lawe i ka huhū i nā mea a pau aʻu i makemake ai e haʻi aku iā lākou. Akā, ua aʻo au inā e kamaʻilio wau me ka mahalo i ka poʻe a kaʻana like i ka ʻike a me nā ʻoiaʻiʻo me lākou, hiki iaʻu ke hoʻolohe iā lākou a noʻonoʻo i ke kumu i hele ai au i ka vegan.
Ua kākau ʻo Moby ʻoiai ʻo ia he vegan a hauʻoli ia, ʻaʻole makemake ʻo ia e koi i kekahi e hele i ka vegan. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia penei: "He mea hoʻohenehene inā hōʻole wau e hoʻokau i koʻu makemake i nā holoholona, akā hauʻoli wau e kau i koʻu makemake i nā kānaka." Ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana i kēia, ua paipai ʻo Moby i kāna poʻe heluhelu e aʻo hou e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i nā holoholona a me nā mea ma hope o kā lākou meaʻai, a me ka pale ʻana i nā huahana mai nā mahiʻai hale hana.
Hoʻopau ʻo Moby i ka ʻatikala me ka ikaika loa: "Manaʻo wau i ka hopena, me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopā ʻana i nā pilikia o ke olakino, hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau, zoonoses, antibiotic resistance, impotence and environmental degradation, e nīnau wau iā ʻoe i hoʻokahi nīnau maʻalahi: hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i kahi bipi i ka maka. a e ʻōlelo: " Ua ʻoi aku koʻu ʻai ʻana ma mua o kou ʻeha"?
