Ku UK, nyama pafupifupi 760 miliyoni zimaphedwa chaka chilichonse pofuna kupanga nyama. Zomwe zimachitika mu khola lapadera lomwe limawoneka ngati chisa chokhala ndi mano achitsulo chomwe chimalekanitsa nkhumba ndi ana ake obadwa kumene. Amagona cham’mbali ndipo zitsulo zimamulepheretsa kugwira kapena kunyambita ana ake. Ana a nkhumba obadwa kumene amatha kuyamwa mkaka, palibe kukhudzana kwina ndi mayi kumatheka. N’chifukwa chiyani chipangizochi chanzeru kwambiri? Pofuna kupewa kuti mayi asagone ndi kuphwanya ana ake, opanga amati. Chochitika choterocho chikhoza kuchitika m'masiku oyambirira pambuyo pa kubadwa, pamene nkhumba zazing'ono zikuyenda pang'onopang'ono. Ndipo chifukwa chenicheni n’chakuti nkhumba za m’famu zimakula modabwitsa ndipo zimangoyendayenda mozungulira khola.
Alimi ena akuti pogwiritsa ntchito makola amenewa akusamalira ziweto zawo. Zachidziwikire amasamala, koma za maakaunti awo aku banki, chifukwa Nkhumba imodzi yotayika ndi phindu lotayika. Pakatha milungu itatu kapena inayi yodyetsera, ana a nkhumba amachotsedwa kwa amayi awo ndi kuikidwa m’khola limodzi pamwamba pa linzake. Pansi pa chilengedwe, nthawi yodyetsa ikadapitilira kwa miyezi ina iwiri. Ndaonapo mmene ana a nkhumba ankasewererana ndi kuthamangirana, kugwa ndi kusewera ndipo nthawi zambiri amakhala ankhanza ngati ana agalu. Ana a nkhumba a m'mafamuwa amasungidwa m'malo othinana kwambiri moti sathathawe, ngakhalenso kusewera. Chifukwa chotopa, amayamba kulumana michira ndipo nthawi zina amavulazana kwambiri. Nanga alimi amaletsa bwanji? Ndizosavuta - amadula michira ya ana a nkhumba kapena kutulutsa mano. Ndizotsika mtengo kuposa kuwapatsa malo ambiri aulere. Nkhumba zimatha kukhala zaka makumi awiri kapena kupitilira apo, koma ana a nkhumba sadzakhala ndi moyo wopitilira 5-6 miyezi, malingana ndi mankhwala omwe amakulira, kuti apange chitumbuwa cha nkhumba, kapena soseji, kapena nyama, kapena nyama yankhumba. Masabata angapo asanaphedwe, nkhumba zimasamutsidwa kupita ku makola onenepa, omwe amakhala ndi malo ochepa komanso opanda zofunda. Ku USA, makola achitsulo ankagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri m'ma 1960, ndi ochepa kwambiri ndipo ana a nkhumba sangathe kusuntha. Izi, zimalepheretsa kutaya mphamvu ndikukulolani kuti muwonde mwachangu. Za amafesa moyo umapitirira m’njira yakeyake. Akangotengedwa ana a nkhumba, amamangidwa n’kuloledwa kubwera kwa iye wamwamuna kuti atengenso pakati. M’mikhalidwe yabwino, monganso nyama zambiri, nkhumba ingadzisankhire yokha mwamuna kapena mkazi, koma pano ilibe chochita. Kenaka amasamutsidwanso ku khola, kumene adzabala ana, pafupifupi osasunthika, kwa miyezi inayi. Mukadzaona makola amenewa, mudzaona kuti nkhumba zina zimaluma zitsulo zomwe zili kutsogolo kwa mphuno yawo. Iwo amachita izo mwanjira inayake, kubwereza mayendedwe omwewo. Nthawi zina nyama zokhala m’malo osungiramo nyama zimachitanso zofanana, monga kuyendayenda m’khola. Khalidweli limadziwika kuti ndi chifukwa cha kupsinjika kwakukulu., chodabwitsacho chinafotokozedwa mu Lipoti la Nkhumba za Nkhumba ndi gulu lapadera la kafukufuku wothandizidwa ndi boma, ndipo linafanana ndi kusokonezeka kwa mitsempha mwa anthu. Nkhumba zomwe sizisungidwa m'khola sizikhala ndi zosangalatsa zambiri. Nthawi zambiri amasungidwa m'makola ang'onoang'ono ndipo ayenera kubereka ana a nkhumba ambiri momwe angathere. Ndi nkhumba zochepa chabe zomwe zimasungidwa panja. Nkhumba nthawi ina inkakhala ku Great Britain m'nkhalango zomwe zinaphimba theka la dzikolo, koma mu 1525, kusaka kunachititsa kuti awonongeke. Mu 1850, chiwerengero chawo chinatsitsimutsidwanso, koma mu 1905 chinawonongedwanso. M’nkhalango, nkhumba zinkadya mtedza, mizu ndi mphutsi. Malo awo okhalamo anali mithunzi ya mitengo m’chilimwe, ndi zipinda zazikulu zomangira njuchi zomangidwa ndi nthambi ndi udzu wouma m’nyengo yozizira. Nkhumba yapathupi nthawi zambiri inkamanga kanyumba kanyumba kameneka pafupifupi mita imodzi ndipo inkafunika kuyenda mtunda wautali kuti ikapeze zomangira. Yang'anani nkhumba ndipo mudzazindikira kuti ikuyang'ana malo ochitirapo kanthu. Ndi chizoloŵezi chakale kufunafuna malo a chisa choterocho. Ndipo ali ndi chiyani? Palibe nthambi, palibe udzu, palibe. Mwamwayi, malo owuma a nkhumba akhala akuletsedwa ku UK kuyambira 1998, ngakhale nkhumba zambiri zimakhalabe m'malo opanikiza kwambiri, izi zikadali patsogolo. Koma 40% ya nyama zonse zomwe zimadyedwa padziko lapansi ndi nkhumba. Nyama ya nkhumba imadyedwa mokulirapo kuposa nyama ina iliyonse, ndipo imapangidwa kulikonse padziko lapansi. Komanso zambiri za ham ndi nyama yankhumba zomwe zimadyedwa ku UK zimatumizidwa kuchokera ku mayiko ena monga Denmark, kumene nkhumba zambiri zimasungidwa m'makola owuma. Chinthu chachikulu chimene anthu angatenge kuti apititse patsogolo thanzi la nkhumba ndi kusiya kuzidya! Ndi chinthu chokha chomwe chingapeze zotsatira. Nkhumba sizidzazunzidwanso. “Achinyamata akadazindikira kuti kuŵeta nkhumba kulidi, sakadadyanso nyama.” James Cromwell, Mlimi wochokera ku The Kid.
