Kodi nchifukwa ninji anthu nthaŵi zambiri amasintha kukhala moyo wosadya zamasamba? Pazifukwa zamakhalidwe abwino, kufuna kupulumutsa chilengedwe, kapena chifukwa chodera nkhawa thanzi lanu? Funsoli nthawi zambiri limakhala losangalatsa kwa oyamba kumene-odya zamasamba.
Pulofesa wa pa yunivesite ya Rutgers (New Jersey, USA), katswiri wodziwika bwino wa zamasamba ndi zamasamba Gary Francion amalandira makalata mazana ambiri tsiku lililonse okhala ndi funso lofananalo. Pulofesayu posachedwapa anafotokoza maganizo ake pa izi m’nkhani yake (Veganism: Ethics, Health kapena Environment). Mwachidule, yankho lake ndi: ngakhale mbali izi zingakhale zosiyana, komabe, palibe kusiyana kulikonse pakati pawo.
Choncho, mphindi ya chikhalidwe imatanthawuza kusatenga nawo mbali pakugwiritsa ntchito ndi kupha zamoyo, ndipo izi zikugwirizana kwambiri ndi kugwiritsa ntchito lingaliro lauzimu la "kusachita chiwawa", lomwe likufotokozedwa mu chiphunzitso cha Ahimsa. Ahimsa - kupewa kupha ndi chiwawa, kuvulaza ndi zochita, mawu ndi malingaliro; chofunikira, ukoma woyamba wa machitidwe onse a filosofi ya ku India.
Nkhani zoteteza thanzi lathu komanso kuteteza chilengedwe chomwe tonse tikukhalamo - zonsezi ndi mbali ya lingaliro la makhalidwe abwino ndi lauzimu la "kupanda chiwawa".
"Tili ndi udindo wosunga thanzi lathu, osati kwa ife eni, komanso chifukwa cha okondedwa athu: anthu ndi nyama zomwe zimatikonda, zimamatirira kwa ife komanso zomwe zimadalira ife," akutero Gary Francion.
Kudya kwa nyama kumadziwika kwambiri ndi sayansi yamakono monga gwero lovulaza kwambiri thanzi. Anthu alinso ndi udindo wosamalira chilengedwe, ngakhale ngati malowa alibe mphamvu yovutika. Kupatula apo, chilichonse chomwe chatizungulira: madzi, mpweya, zomera ndi nyumba komanso gwero la chakudya cha zolengedwa zambiri. Inde, mwina mtengo kapena udzu sumva kalikonse, koma mazana a zolengedwa zimadalira kukhalapo kwawo, zomwe zimamvetsetsa zonse.
Kuweta ziweto m’mafakitale kumawononga ndi kuwononga chilengedwe ndi zamoyo zonse zimene zili mmenemo.
Chimodzi mwazotsutsa zotsutsana ndi veganism ndikuti kuti tidye zomera zokha, tidzayenera kutenga malo akuluakulu pansi pa mbewu. Mtsutsano uwu sunachite ndi zenizeni. Ndipotu, zosiyana ndi zoona: kuti titenge kilogalamu imodzi ya nyama kapena mkaka, tifunika kudyetsa ma kilogalamu ambiri a chakudya chamasamba kwa nyama yogwidwayo. Titasiya "kulima" dziko lapansi, mwachitsanzo, kuwononga chilichonse chomwe chimamera pamenepo, kuti tipange chakudya chambiri, tidzamasula madera akuluakulu kuti abwezeretse chilengedwe.
Pulofesa Francion anamaliza nkhani yake ndi mawu akuti: “Ngati suli wosadya nyama, khala mmodzi. Ndi zophweka kwenikweni. Izi zidzathandiza thanzi lathu. Izi zidzathandiza dziko lathu lapansi. Izi ndi zolondola pamalingaliro amakhalidwe abwino. Ambiri aife timatsutsana ndi chiwawa. Tiyeni titengepo mbali mozama ndikuchitapo kanthu pofuna kuchepetsa ziwawa padziko lapansi, kuyambira ndi zomwe timayika m’mimba.”
