Nyumba zophera nyama zazikulu monga nkhosa, nkhumba ndi ng’ombe ndizosiyana kwambiri ndi zophera nkhuku. Akupanganso makina ochulukirachulukira, ngati mafakitale, koma mosasamala kanthu za chilichonse, ndiwo mawonekedwe oyipa kwambiri omwe ndawonapo m'moyo wanga.
Nyumba zambiri zopherako nyama zili m’nyumba zazikulu zokhala ndi mawu omveka bwino komanso nyama zambiri zakufa zolendewera padenga. Phokoso la zitsulo zong'ambika likusakanikirana ndi kulira kwa nyama zochita mantha. Mutha kumva anthu akuseka ndi kusewera wina ndi mnzake. Zokambirana zawo zimasokonezedwa ndi kuwombera kwa mfuti zapadera. Pali madzi ndi magazi paliponse, ndipo ngati imfa ili ndi fungo, ndiye kuti ndi kusakaniza kwa fungo la ndowe, dothi, matumbo a nyama zakufa ndi mantha.
Nyama kuno zikumwalira chifukwa chotaya magazi chifukwa chodulidwa khosi. Ngakhale ku UK ayenera kukomoka. Izi zimachitika m'njira ziwiri - zodabwitsa ndi magetsi komanso mfuti yapadera. Pofuna kubweretsa nyamayo kuti ikhale yopanda chidziwitso, mphamvu zamagetsi zimagwiritsidwa ntchito, mofanana ndi lumo lalikulu lokhala ndi mahedifoni m'malo mwa masamba, wopha nyamayo amamangiriza mutu wa nyamayo ndi kutulutsa magetsi kumagwedeza.
Nyama zomwe zitakomoka - nthawi zambiri nkhumba, nkhosa, ana a nkhosa ndi ana a ng'ombe - kenako zimanyamulidwa ndi unyolo womangidwa kumbuyo kwa chiwetocho. Kenako anawadula khosi. Mfuti ya stun nthawi zambiri imagwiritsidwa ntchito pa nyama zazikulu monga ng'ombe zazikulu. Mfutiyo imayikidwa pamphumi pa nyamayo ndikuwombera. Chipolopolo chachitsulo chotalika masentimita 10 chimatuluka mu mbiya, kupyoza pamphumi pa nyama, kulowa mu ubongo ndikugwedeza nyamayo. Kuti atsimikizire kwambiri, ndodo yapadera imalowetsedwa mu dzenje kuti igwedeze ubongo.
Ng'ombe kapena ng'ombe imatembenuzidwa ndikudulidwa mmero. Zomwe zimachitika zenizeni ndi zosiyana kwambiri. Nyama amazitsitsa m’magalimoto n’kuziika m’makola apadera a ziweto. M'modzi kapena m'magulu, amasamutsidwa kupita kumalo odabwitsa. Pamene mbale zamagetsi zimagwiritsidwa ntchito, nyamazo zimayikidwa moyang'anizana ndi mzake. Ndipo musakhulupirire amene amanena kuti nyama sizimva zomwe zidzawachitikire: ingoyang'anani nkhumba, zomwe zimayamba kugunda mochita mantha, poyembekezera mapeto awo.
Ogula nyama amalipidwa ndi kuchuluka kwa nyama zomwe akupha, motero amayesa kugwira ntchito mwachangu momwe angathere ndipo nthawi zambiri samapereka nthawi yokwanira kuti zitsulozo zigwire ntchito. Ndi ana a nkhosa, iwo samazigwiritsa ntchito nkomwe. Pambuyo pa ndondomeko yodabwitsayi, nyamayo imatha kufa, ikhoza kufa ziwalo, koma nthawi zambiri imakhalabe yozindikira. Ndinaona nkhumba zitapachikidwa mozondoka, zitadulidwa kukhosi, zikugudubuzika ndi kugwa pansi zili ndi magazi, zikuyesera kuthawa.
Choyamba, ng'ombe zimalowetsedwa m'khola lapadera zisanagwiritse ntchito mfuti kuti zigwedezeke. Ngati zonse zachitika molondola, nyamazo zimakomoka nthawi yomweyo, koma izi sizichitika nthawi zonse. Nthaŵi zina wophayo amaphonya mfuti yoyamba ndipo ng’ombeyo imamenyana mopwetekedwa mtima pamene akukwezanso mfutiyo. Nthawi zina, chifukwa cha zida zakale, katiriji sidzaboola chigaza cha ng'ombe. Zonsezi "zolakwika" zimayambitsa kuvutika maganizo ndi thupi kwa nyama.
Malinga ndi kafukufuku wa bungwe la Royal Society for the Protection of Animals, pafupifupi XNUMX peresenti ya nyamazo sizinadabwitsidwe bwino. Ponena za ng'ombe zazing'ono ndi zamphamvu, chiwerengero chawo chimafika makumi asanu ndi atatu peresenti. Muvidiyo yobisika ya kamera yomwe inatengedwa kumalo ophera nyama, ndinawona ng'ombe imodzi yatsoka ikuwomberedwa ndi mfuti zisanu ndi zitatu asanagwe. Ndinaona zinthu zinanso zambiri zomwe zinandikhumudwitsa: kuchitira nkhanza nyama zopanda chitetezo kunali chizolowezi cha ntchito.
Ndinaona nkhumba zikuthyola michira pamene zinkakankhidwira m’chipinda chodzidzimutsa, ana ankhosa akuphedwa popanda kudabwa nkomwe, mwana wankhanza wopha nyama atakwera nkhumba yochita mantha, yochita mantha mozungulira popherapo ngati ng’ombe. Chiwerengero cha nyama zomwe zaphedwa m'chaka ku UK pofuna kupanga nyama:
Nkhumba 15 miliyoni
Nkhuku 676 miliyoni
Ng'ombe 3 miliyoni
Nkhosa 19 miliyoni
Turkeys 38 miliyoni
Bakha 2 miliyoni
Akalulu 5 miliyoni
Helena 10000
(Deta yotengedwa ku Government Report ya Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Abattoirs 1994. Chiwerengero cha anthu ku UK 56 miliyoni.)
“Sindingafune kupha nyama ndipo sindikufuna kuti ziphedwe chifukwa cha ine. Mwa kusatenga nawo mbali pa imfa yawo, ndimaona kuti ndili ndi mgwirizano wachinsinsi ndi dziko ndipo chotero ndimagona mwamtendere.
