MuUK, mhuka dzinosvika mamirioni mazana manomwe nemakumi matanhatu dzinourayiwa gore rega rega kuti dzigadzire nyama. Chii chinoitika mukeji yemhando yepamusoro inoita semuzinga une mazino esimbi inoparadzanisa nguruve nenguruve dzayo dzichangozvarwa. Anorara nedivi, uye simbi dzinomutadzisa kubata kana kunanzva vana vake. Nguruve dzichangozvarwa dzinogona kusveta mukaka chete, hapana kumwe kusangana naamai kunogoneka. Neiko ichi chishandiso chakangwara? Kuitira kudzivirira amai kuti varare pasi vachipwanya vana vavo, vagadziri vacho vanodaro. Chiitiko chakadaro chinogona kuitika mumazuva mashomanana ekutanga mushure mekuberekwa, apo nguruve duku dzichiri kufamba zvishoma nezvishoma. Uye chikonzero chaicho ndechekuti nguruve dzepurazi dzinokura zvisina kujairika uye dzinogona kungofamba dzakatenderedza keji.
Vamwe varimi vanoti nekushandisa matanga aya vari kuchengeta zvipfuyo zvavo. Ehe vane hanya, asi chete nezveakaundi avo ebhangi, nekuti imwe nguruve yakarasika inorasika purofiti. Mushure memavhiki matatu kana mana ekudyisa, nguruve idzi dzinobviswa kubva kuna amai vadzo dzoiswa mumakeji ega ega pamusoro peimwe. Mumamiriro ezvinhu echisikigo, nguva yekudya ingadai yakaenderera mberi kweinenge imwe mwedzi miviri. Ndakaona kuti, mumamiriro ezvinhu ane hunhu, nguruve dzaitamba-tamba dzichimhanya dzichitevedzana, dzichidonha nekutamba uye dzichiita misikanzwa kunge mvana. Idzi nguruve dzepapurazi dzinochengetwa munzvimbo dzakasimba zvekuti hadzikwanise kutizana, ndoda kutamba. Nekuda kwekufinhwa, vanotanga kurumana muswe dzimwe nguva vachikuvadzana. Uye varimi vanoimisa sei? Zviri nyore – vanocheka miswe yenguruve kana kudzura mazino. Zvakachipa pane kuvapa nzvimbo yemahara. Nguruve dzinogona kurarama makore anosvika makumi maviri kana kutopfuura, asi nguruve idzi hadzirarame kudarika 5-6 mwedzi, zvichienderana nechigadzirwa chavanokura, kugadzira pork pie, kana soseji, kana ham, kana bhekoni. Masvondo mashomanana vasati vaurayiwa, nguruve dzinoendeswa kumatanga emafuta, ayo anewo nzvimbo shoma uye asina pekuvata. MuUSA, matanga esimbi aishandiswa zvakanyanya muma1960s, akatetepa uye nguruve hadzigone kufamba. Izvi, zvakare, zvinodzivirira kurasikirwa kwesimba uye zvinokubvumira kuti uwedzere uremu nekukurumidza. For anodyara hupenyu hunoenderera nenzira yahwo. Kana nguruve dzangotorerwa paari, anobva asungwa uye murume anobvumirwa kuuya kwaari kuitira kuti abate pamuviri zvakare. Mumamiriro ezvinhu akajairika, kufanana nemhuka dzakawanda, nguruve yaizozvisarudzira yega, asi pano haina sarudzo. Ipapo anotamisirwazve kukeji, uko anozoberekera mwana anotevera, anenge asingachafambiki, kweimwe mwedzi mina. Kana ukamboona matanga aya, uchaona zvechokwadi kuti dzimwe nguruve dzinotsenga simbi dziri pamberi chaipo pemhino dzadzo. Vanozviita mune imwe nzira, vachidzokorora kufamba kwakafanana. Mhuka dziri munzvimbo dzinochengeterwa mhuka dzimwe nguva dzinoita chimwe chinhu chakafanana, sokudzungaira nekudzoka mukeji. Hunhu uhu hunozivikanwa semugumisiro wekushushikana kwakadzama., chiitiko ichi chakafukidzwa muPig Welfare Report neboka rakakosha rinotsigirwa nehurumende, uye rakafananidzwa nekuputsika kwetsinga muvanhu. Nguruve dzisina kuchengetwa mumatanga hadzina kunyanya kunakidzwa. Kazhinji dzinochengetwa mumatanga nhete uye dzinofanirawo kuburitsa nguruve dzakawanda sezvinobvira. Chete chikamu chisina basa chenguruve chinochengetwa kunze. Nguruve yakambogara muGreat Britain mumasango akafukidza hafu yenharaunda yenyika, asi muna 1525, kuvhima kwakatungamirira mukuparara kwavo kwakakwana. Muna 1850, vanhu vavo vakamutsidzirwa zvakare, asi muna 1905 yakaparadzwa zvakare. Mumasango, nguruve dzaidya nzungu, midzi, nemakonye. Nzvimbo yavo yokuvanda yakanga iri mimvuri yemiti muchirimo, uye dzimba huru dzerookeri dzakavakwa nemapazi nouswa hwakaoma munguva yechando. Nguruve ine pamuviri yaiwanzogadzira imba yerookery inenge mita kureba uye yaitofanira kufamba mazana emakiromita kuti iwane zvokuvakisa. Tarisa nguruve uye uchaona kuti iri kutsvaga nzvimbo yekuita chimwe chinhu. Itsika yekare kutsvaga nzvimbo yedendere rakadaro. Uye chii chaanacho? Hapana masanzu, kana tsanga, hapana. Sezvineiwo, matanga akaoma emasowe anga asiri pamutemo muUK kubvira 1998, kunyangwe nguruve zhinji dzichiri kugara munzvimbo dzakamanikana zvisingaite, ichi chichiri nhanho yekumberi. Asi 40% yenyama yose inodyiwa munyika inguruve. Nguruve inodyiwa muhuwandu hwakakura kudarika chero imwe nyama, uye inogadzirwa chero kupi zvako munyika. Uyewo yakawanda ye ham uye bhekoni inopedzwa muUK inotengeswa kubva kune dzimwe nyika dzakadai seDenmark, uko kune dzimwe nguruve dzakawanda dzinochengetwa mumatanga akaoma. Danho guru rinotorwa nevanhu kuvandudza kugara zvakanaka kwenguruve nderekurega kudzidya! Ndicho chega chinozowana mibairo. Hakuchina nguruve ichashungurudzwa. “Kudai vechidiki vakaziva kuti kupfuya nguruve chii chaizvo, vaisazombodya nyama zvakare.” James Cromwell, Murimi kubva kuMwana.
