No ke aha e hoʻololi pinepine ai ka poʻe i ka nohona meaʻai? No nā kumu kūpono, makemake ʻoe e mālama i ke kaiapuni, a i ʻole no ka hopohopo no kou olakino? ʻO kēia nīnau ka mea hoihoi loa i nā poʻe hoʻomaka-vegetarians.
Polofesa o Rutgers University (New Jersey, USA), kaulana theorist of vegetarianism and veganism Ua loaʻa iā Gary Francion he mau haneli mau leka i kēlā me kēia lā me kahi nīnau like. Ua hōʻike koke aku ke kaukaʻi i kona mau manaʻo ma kēia ʻatikala (Veganism: Ethics, Health or the Environment). I ka pōkole, ʻo kāna pane: ʻokoʻa paha kēia mau ʻano, akā naʻe, ʻaʻohe ʻokoʻa ma waena o lākou.
No laila, ʻo ka manawa kūpono ke ʻano o ka komo ʻole ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana a me ka pepehi ʻana i nā mea ola, a pili kēia i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka manaʻo ʻuhane o ka "non-violence", i hōʻike ʻia ma ke kumumanaʻo o Ahimsa. Ahimsa - ka pale ʻana i ka pepehi kanaka a me ka hana ʻino, ka pōʻino ma ka hana, ka ʻōlelo a me ka manaʻo; kumu, ka pono mua o nā ʻōnaehana a pau o ke akeakamai India.
ʻO nā pilikia o ka mālama ʻana i ko mākou olakino ponoʻī a me ka pale ʻana i ke kaiapuni kahi e noho ai mākou a pau - ʻo kēia mau mea he ʻāpana o ka manaʻo pono a me ka ʻuhane o ka "non-violence".
"He kuleana ko mākou e mālama i ko mākou olakino, ʻaʻole wale no mākou iho, akā no ka pono o kā mākou poʻe aloha: nā kānaka a me nā holoholona aloha iā mākou, pili iā mākou a hilinaʻi iā mākou," wahi a Gary Francion.
ʻO ka ʻai ʻana i nā huahana holoholona i ʻike ʻia e ka ʻepekema hou i kumu o ka pōʻino nui i ke olakino. Loaʻa i nā kānaka ke kuleana kūpono no ke kaiapuni, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole i hāʻawi ʻia kēia kaiapuni i ka hiki ke pilikia. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻo nā mea a pau e hoʻopuni ana iā mākou: ka wai, ka ea, nā mea kanu he home a he kumu meaʻai no nā mea ola. ʻAe, ʻaʻole manaʻo ka lāʻau a i ʻole ka mauʻu i kekahi mea, akā ke hilinaʻi nei nā haneli o nā mea ola i ko lākou ola ʻana, ʻike maopopo i nā mea āpau.
Hoʻopau a hoʻopau ka mahiʻai holoholona ʻoihana i ke kaiapuni a me nā ola āpau i loko.
ʻO kekahi o nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa punahele e kūʻē i ka veganism ʻo ia ka ʻōlelo ʻana i mea e ʻai ai i nā mea kanu wale nō, pono mākou e lawe i nā wahi nui o ka ʻāina ma lalo o nā mea kanu. ʻAʻole pili kēia manaʻo me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, heʻoiaʻiʻo ka mea'ē aʻe: no ka loaʻaʻana o hoʻokahi kilokani o kaʻiʻo a iʻole ka waiū, pono mākou e hānai i nā kilokika he nui o ka meaʻai meaʻai i ka holoholona i pepehiʻia. Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka "mahi" i ka honua, ʻo ia hoʻi ka luku ʻana i nā mea āpau i ulu mua ma luna ona, no ka hana ʻana i ka meaʻai, e hoʻokuʻu mākou i nā wahi nunui no ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana iā lākou i ke ʻano.
Ua hoʻopau ʻo Professor Francion i kāna ʻatikala me nā huaʻōlelo: "Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe he vegan, e lilo i hoʻokahi. He maʻalahi maoli. E kōkua kēia i ko mākou olakino. E kōkua kēia i ko kākou honua. Pololei kēia mai ka manaʻo kuʻuna. Kūʻē ka hapa nui o mākou i ka hana ʻino. E hana koʻikoʻi ko mākou kūlana a hana i kahi hana koʻikoʻi i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hana ʻino i ka honua, e hoʻomaka me ka mea a mākou e hoʻokomo ai i loko o ko mākou ʻōpū.
