Izimvu zibukeka zaneliseke njengoba ziklaba emadolobhaneni, amawundlu azo ajabule agijima futhi agxumagxuma. Kodwa ungakhohliswa, ngoba e-UK kuphela amawundlu ayizigidi ezi-4 afa ezinsukwini zawo zokuqala zokuphila. E-Australia, inhloko-dolobha yezimvu emhlabeni, enezilwane eziyizigidi ezingu-135, kuthathwa ngokuthi “okuvamile” ukuthi amawundlu angama-20 kuya ku-40% afe, ngokuvamile ngenxa yamakhaza noma indlala.
В UK futhi ENtshonalanga, abantu ngokuyisisekelo abalidli imvu, badla inyama yamawundlu. Izimvu zivame ukuzala entwasahlobo, kodwa ukuncintisana phakathi kwabalimi kuye kwasho ukuthi izimvu kufanele zizale ngaphambi kwesikhathi, ekupheleni noma ngisho naphakathi nobusika. Uma abalimi bephakathi kwabokuqala ukuthengisa “inyama yewundlu”, bazothola imali eyengeziwe. Ngemva kwezinkulungwane eziningi zeminyaka, izimvu zasendle ziye zavela ngendlela yokuthi zikhiqiza amaqanda futhi zizalane ekwindla, futhi zizalanisa entwasahlobo, lapho isithwathwa sasebusika sesidlulile kakade futhi notshani sebuqalile ukumila. Kuyafana nangezimvu zasemapulazini. Nokho, abalimi abaningi bapha izimvu amahomoni, ukuze izimvu zikhulelwe ehlobo, hhayi ekwindla. Izimvu zizalana ngaphambi kwesikhathi, futhi zinikeze inzalo esikhathini esineqhwa kakhulu sasebusika. Amawundlu azalelwa ezibayeni, kodwa ngokushesha, naphezu kwesimo sezulu, adedelwa aye ensimini. Abalimi baphinde banikeze izimvu amalungiselelo okwelapha akhethekile ukuze izimvu zizale amawundlu amabili noma amathathu, kuyilapho esimweni semvelo imvu izala eyodwa. Imvu inemibele emibili kuphela, ngakho eyesithathu, eyengeziwe ithathwa ngokushesha kunina ithunyelwe emakethe. Esaba, encishwe uthando nokunakekelwa komama, amawundlu asanda kuzalwa alindele isiphetho sawo, eqhaqhazela ngenxa yamakhaza. Abalimi baphusha futhi bakhahlele amawundlu ukuze babone ukuthi akhuluphele kangakanani, futhi athengiswa ngamapondo ambalwa nje ngalinye. Ezinye zithengwa abanikazi bezindawo zokudlela ezinhle, kodwa uma uqonda, ngicela ungichazele ukuthi noma ubani angazibheka kanjani lezi zilwane ezikhalayo, ezethukile futhi abone kuzo “Isidlo esikhethekile sanamuhla yiwundlu elincane elosiwe nesweli nerosemary.” Manje abalimi bakhathazeke ngombuzo owodwa kuphela - ukuthi bangaqinisekisa kanjani ukuthi imvu izala amawundlu amathathu njalo eminyakeni emibili. Ukuze wenze lokhu, abalimi kuzodingeka bahlanekezele imvelo yemvelo yesilwane futhi balawule ngezidakamizwa ze-hormonal. Lokhu kuzophawula ukuqala kokufuywa ngezindlela zezimboni, futhi isikhathi eside, ngeke siyibone imfuyo eningi emasimini njengakuqala. Izilwane zizokwakha ikhaya lazo esibayeni esisodwa esikhulu, esiminyene, esinyanyekayo. Izimvu ezihlala ezindaweni eziphakeme, njenge-Pennines noma izintaba zase-Welsh, ziphila ngokukhululeka nempilo yemvelo eyengeziwe. Baphathwa ngendlela ehlukile, kodwa ukuncintisana kuzoletha ushintsho nalapha. Abalimi baqhuba izinkomo eziningi ezintabeni, futhi indawo yokuklaba ayiningi. Ukuze bonge imali, abalimi banciphisa inani labelusi abelusa imihlambi yabo futhi basebenzise imali encane ekuthengeni ifolishi ebusika. Ngenxa yokuthi inyama enamafutha ayisadingeki njengangaphambili, ngokuzalanisa okukhethiwe, abalimi bazama ukuvimbela izimvu ekukhuleni kwamafutha angaphansi kwesikhumba. Ngokuhambisana nalokhu, ebusika, izimvu azikutholi ukudla ezikudingayo ukuze zikhiphe ukushisa futhi zifudumale lapho kuvunguza imimoya yasebusika eneqhwa. Nakuba izimvu eziningi zibulawa yilolu hlobo lokungenelela, abalimi bakhulisa kakhulu futhi manje sekunezimvu eziyizigidi ezingu-45 e-UK kuphela. Ngeshwa, banekusasa elingajabulisi. “Ngavakashela abazali bami ngabasiza ngokwelusa izimvu ngesikhathi zizalwa. Iwundlu elisanda kuzalwa lalilihle kakhulu. Ngakusasa, umlimi wasilethela umlenze wewundlu, ngandlela-thile kwakungeyona eyemvelo, iphutha. Usuku lonke angikwazanga ukubuya engqondweni yami futhi ngivumelane nalokhu - okokuqala ukusiza isidalwa esisha ukuba sifike kulo mhlaba, bese ngithatha impilo yaso ngokungenanhliziyo. Ngaba umuntu ongadli imifino.” UJackie Brambles, owesifazane wokuqala ukuvela emsakazweni we-BBC emini.
