Nyama sizimathamangira kophera nyama mosangalala, zimagona chagada n’kumakuwa kuti, “Panoni, pangani zipolopolo” n’kufa. Choonadi chomvetsa chisoni chimene nyama zonse zimakumana nazo n’chakuti ukadya nyama, nyama zimapitirizabe kuphedwa.
Popanga nyama, makamaka nkhuku zimagwiritsidwa ntchito. Ku UK kokha, mbalame 676 miliyoni zimaphedwa chaka chilichonse. Amasamutsidwa kuchokera ku khola la broiler kupita ku magawo apadera opangira zinthu, sizikumveka ngati zowopsa ngati nyumba yophera, koma mfundoyi imakhalabe chimodzimodzi. Chilichonse chimayenda motsatira ndondomeko yake, magalimoto amafika panthawi yake. Nkhuku zimatulutsidwa m’galimotoyo n’kuzimanga ndi mapazi (cham’mwamba) pa lamba wonyamula katundu. Zomwezo zimachitika ndi abakha ndi turkeys.
Pali china chake chodabwitsa pakuyika kwaukadaulo uku. Nthawi zonse amawala bwino, olekanitsidwa ndi malo ophera, oyera kwambiri komanso onyowa pang'ono. Amangochita zokha. Anthu amayendayenda atavala malaya oyera ndi zipewa zoyera ndipo amauzana kuti “Moni”. Zili ngati kujambula pulogalamu ya pa TV. Lamba woyenda pang'onopang'ono, wokhala ndi mbalame zoyera zowuluka, zomwe sizimayima.
Lamba wonyamulira uyu amagwira ntchito nthawi zambiri usana ndi usiku. Chinthu choyamba chimene mbalame zoyimitsidwa zimakumana nazo ndi mphika wodzazidwa ndi madzi ndi mphamvu. Chotengeracho chimayenda kotero kuti mitu ya mbalamezo imire m’madzimo, ndipo magetsi amazidodometsa kotero kuti zikafika siteji yotsatira (kudula khosi) zili chikomokere. Nthaŵi zina njirayi imachitidwa ndi munthu wovala zovala zowazidwa ndi magazi ndi mpeni waukulu. Nthawi zina amakhala makina okhawo omwe ali ndi magazi.
Pamene chotengeracho chikuyenda, nkhuku zimayenera kukhetsa magazi mpaka kufa zisanavizidwe mumtsuko wamadzi otentha kwambiri kuti zitsogolere kuzula. Icho chinali chiphunzitso. Zochitika zenizeni nthawi zambiri zimakhala zosiyana kwambiri. Mbalame zina zikamasamba kotentha, zimakweza mitu yawo ndi kulowa pansi pa mpeni zili chikomokere. Mbalame zikadulidwa ndi makina, zomwe zimachitika nthawi zambiri, tsambalo limakhala pamtunda wina, koma mbalame zamitundu yosiyanasiyana, tsamba limodzi limagwera pakhosi, lina pa chifuwa. Ngakhale pomenya khosi, makina ambiri odzipangira okha amadula kumbuyo kapena mbali ya khosi ndipo samakonda kudula mtsempha wa carotid. Mulimonsemo, izi sizokwanira kuwapha, koma kungowavulaza kwambiri. Mbalame mamiliyoni ambiri zimaloŵa m’chosungiramo zidakali zamoyo ndipo zimaziwiritsa zamoyo.
Dr. Henry Carter, pulezidenti wakale wa Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, ananena kuti lipoti la 1993 lonena za kupha nkhuku linati: kugwa wamoyo ndi kuzindikira mumtsuko wamoto. Yakwana nthawi yoti andale ndi aphungu aleke kuchita zinthu ngati zimenezi, zomwe n’zosayenera komanso zankhanza.”
