Monga momwe "malingaliro" ena oyipa amasankhira anthu potengera mtundu wa khungu, jenda, malingaliro ogonana, kapena luso lakuthupi, vidism imawonetsa kutsika kwa omwe si anthu. Iye amalongosola zinyama zonse kusiyapo anthu kukhala zida zofufuzira, chakudya, nsalu, zoseŵeretsa, kapena zinthu zokhutiritsa zofuna za munthu, chifukwa chakuti siziri ziwalo za mtundu wathu. Mwachidule, vidism kapena kusankhana mitundu ndiko kukondera mtundu wa anthu pa mitundu ina ya nyama, monga momwe gulu linalake la anthu lingasankhire linzake. Ndi chikhulupiriro cholakwika kuti mtundu wina ndi wofunika kwambiri kuposa wina.
Zinyama zina sizinthu zathu. Awa ndi anthu omwe ali ndi zokonda zawo, monganso anthu. Iwo si “osakhala anthu”, monga inu ndi ine sitiri “osakhala chipmunks”. Kuthetsa tsankho lathu pa mitundu ina sikufuna kuti tizichitiridwa zinthu mofanana kapena mofanana—mwachitsanzo, chipmunks safuna ufulu wovota. Timangofunika kusonyeza kuganizira mofanana zofuna za ena. Tiyenera kuzindikira kuti ndife anthu anzeru okhala ndi malingaliro ndi zikhumbo, ndipo tonsefe tiyenera kumasulidwa ku chikwapu, maunyolo, mpeni, ndi moyo waukapolo.
Koma pamene tikulimbanabe ndi kuponderezedwa kwa anthu, kusamalira nyama kumaoneka ngati chinthu chamtengo wapatali. Kupezerera anzawo ndi chiwawa sizimangochitika mwa anthu, monganso mmene sizimakhalira ku mafuko enaake kapena kudziwika kuti ndi mwamuna kapena mkazi. Ngati tikufuna kuti dziko likhale lolungama, tiyenera kuthetsa tsankho lililonse, osati latsankho lokhalo.
Malingaliro omwe amavomereza kuponderezedwa kwa anthu-kaya tikukamba za anthu a zipembedzo zina, akazi, okalamba, mamembala a gulu la LGBT, kapena anthu amtundu-ndi maganizo omwewo omwe amalola kugwiritsira ntchito nyama. Tsankho limabwera pamene tiyamba kukhulupirira kuti "ine" ndi wapadera ndipo "inu" simuli, komanso kuti zofuna za "zanga" ndizoposa za zolengedwa zina.
Wanthanthi Peter Singer, amene anakokera chisamaliro ku lingaliro la vidism ndi ufulu wa zinyama m’bukhu lake losasunthika lakuti Animal Liberation, akulongosola motere: “Sindikuona vuto m’kutsutsa ponse paŵiri kusankhana mitundu ndi kusagwirizana panthaŵi imodzi. M’chenicheni, kwa ine, vuto lalikulu kwambiri laluntha lagona pa kuyesa kukana tsankho ndi kuponderezana kwinakwake pamene mukuvomereza ngakhalenso kuchita china.”
Tsankho m’njira zosiyanasiyana n’kulakwa, mosasamala kanthu za amene wazunzidwayo. Ndipo tikamachitira umboni zimenezi, tisalole kuti zipite popanda kulangidwa. “Palibe chinthu chonga kulimbana ndi vuto limodzi chifukwa sitikhala moyo umene uli ndi vuto limodzi lokha,” akutero Audrey Lord, womenyera ufulu wachibadwidwe ndi wochirikiza ufulu wachikazi.
Momwe mungaletse vidizm?
Kuthetsa vuto la zamoyo ndi kuzindikira ufulu wa nyama zina kungakhale kophweka monga kulemekeza zosowa zawo. Tiyenera kuzindikira kuti ali ndi zokonda zawo ndipo amayenera kukhala opanda zowawa ndi zowawa. Tiyenera kulimbana ndi tsankho lomwe limatithandiza kuti tisamachite zinthu zoopsa zimene amachitiridwa tsiku lililonse m’ma laboratories, m’malo ophera nyama komanso m’mabwalo a masewera. Ngakhale titasiyana bwanji wina ndi mnzake, tonse tili mu izi limodzi. Tikazindikira zimenezi, ndi udindo wathu kuchitapo kanthu.
Tonsefe, mosasamala kanthu za zinthu zina zapadera, tiyenera kusamala, kulemekezedwa ndi kuchitiridwa zinthu zabwino. Nazi njira zitatu zosavuta zothandizira kuletsa vidism:
Thandizani makampani amakhalidwe abwino. Nyama masauzande ambiri amachitiridwa poyizoni, kuchititsidwa khungu ndi kuphedwa chaka chilichonse poyesa zodzikongoletsera, zinthu zosamalira anthu komanso zoyeretsa m'nyumba. Dongosolo la PETA limaphatikizapo makampani masauzande ambiri omwe samayesa nyama, kotero ziribe kanthu zomwe mukuyang'ana, mudzatha kukupezani yoyenera.
Tsatirani zakudya za vegan. Kudya nyama kumatanthauza kulipira munthu wina kuti akuthamangitseni mpeni pakhosi pa nyama. Kudya tchizi, yoghurt ndi zinthu zina zamkaka kumatanthauza kulipira wina kuti akubereni mkaka wa mwana. Ndipo kudya mazira kumatanthauza kuononga nkhuku ku kuvutika kwa moyo wonse mu khola laling’ono lawaya.
Tsatirani mfundo za vegan. Chotsani zikopa zanu. Palibe chifukwa chopha nyama chifukwa cha mafashoni. Valani vegan. Masiku ano, pali mwayi wochuluka wa izi. Yambani pang'ono.
