Who is a butcher: According to the English dictionary, a butcher is someone or anyone who is a professional in the sl@ughter of animals, preparation of the animal before it is used for food. So basically, everyone who eats a meat needs the services of a butcher. Just like every other workers with offices, the office of the butcher is the abattoir, so if you are looking for a butcher you can find one in your local abattoir.

Role of a butcher in Sl@ughtering Animal

 We all know that it is impractical and obviously impossible to place a full grown cow, goat, or dog meat inside a pot without first sl@ughtering the animal. So the butcher plays a very vital role in sl@ughtering the animal, bringing them to sizes that can fit into your pot or that will be very comfortable for you when cooking. The butcher should not be mistaken for someone who rears an animal, while it is true that a butcher can be someone who rears an animal and vice versa, it is also good to note that both occupations are different though somehow similar.
