Izilwane azigijimi ngokujabula esilaheni, zilala ngomhlane zimemeza zithi “Nanku-ke, yenza ama-chops” bese zifa. Iqiniso elibuhlungu elibhekene nazo zonke izilwane ezidla inyama ukuthi uma udla inyama, izilwane zizoqhubeka nokubulawa.
Ukukhiqizwa kwemikhiqizo yenyama, ikakhulukazi izinkukhu zisetshenziswa. E-UK kuphela, kubulawa izinyoni eziyizigidi ezingu-676 minyaka yonke. Zidluliswa zisuka emakhejini enkukhu ziye kumayunithi okucubungula akhethekile, akuzwakali kumbi njengendawo yokubulala, kodwa ingqikithi ihlala injalo. Konke kuhamba ngokohlelo, amaloli afika ngesikhathi esimisiwe. Izinkukhu zikhishwa elolini futhi ziboshwe ngezinyawo zazo (zibheke phansi) ebhandeni lokuthutha. Kwenzeka okufanayo ngamadada nama-turkeys.
Kukhona okuxakayo ngalokhu kufakwa kobuchwepheshe. Zihlala zikhanya kahle, zihlukene nendawo yokuhlatshwa, zihlanzekile kakhulu futhi zinomswakama kancane. Azenzakalela kakhulu. Abantu bahamba begqoke amajazi amhlophe nezigqoko ezimhlophe bese bethi “Sanibona” komunye nomunye. Kufana nokuqopha uhlelo lwe-TV. Ibhande lokuthutha elihamba kancane, elinezinyoni ezimhlophe eziphaphazelayo, elibonakala lingamile.
Leli bhande lokuthutha empeleni lisebenza kakhulu imini nobusuku. Into yokuqala izinyoni ezimisiwe ezihlangana nazo ubhavu ogcwele amanzi futhi onamandla. Iconveyor iyanyakaza ukuze amakhanda ezinyoni acwile emanzini, futhi ugesi uyawashaqisa ukuze afinyelele esigabeni esilandelayo (ukunqunywa emphinjeni) equlekile. Ngezinye izikhathi le nqubo yenziwa ngumuntu ogqoke izingubo ezifafazwe ngegazi ngommese omkhulu. Ngezinye izikhathi umshini ozenzakalelayo wonke ugcwele igazi.
Ngesikhathi isithuthi sinyakaza, izinkukhu kumele zophe zize zife ngaphambi kokuba zicwiliswe esitshalweni esishisayo samanzi ashisayo ukuze kube lula ukukha. Kwakuyinkolelo-mbono. Iqiniso livame ukuhluka kakhulu. Lapho zigeza ngamanzi ashisayo, ezinye izinyoni ziphakamisa amakhanda azo zingene ngaphansi kommese zisaqulekile. Lapho izinyoni zisikwa ngomshini, okwenzeka kaningi, i-blade itholakala ekuphakameni okuthile, kodwa izinyoni ezinobukhulu obuhlukahlukene, enye i-blade iwela entanyeni, enye esifubeni. Ngisho nalapho ishaya intamo, imishini eminingi ezenzakalelayo isika ingemuva noma uhlangothi lwentamo futhi ayivamisile ukusika umthambo we-carotid. Kunoma yikuphi, lokhu akwanele ukubabulala, kodwa kuphela ukubalimaza kakhulu. Izigidi zezinyoni zingena emgodini oshisayo zisaphila futhi zibiliswe ngokoqobo ziphila.
UDkt. Henry Carter, uMongameli odlule weRoyal College of Veterinary Surgeons, wathi umbiko wango-1993 ngokuhlatshwa kwenkukhu wathi: ziwa uphila futhi uphaphame ungene emshinini wokushisa. Sesifikile isikhathi sokuthi osopolitiki nezishayamthetho bayeke lolu hlobo lwesenzo esingamukelekile futhi esingenabuntu.”
