slaughterhouse

14th century slaughterhouse (Tacuina sanitatis)

Slaughter in a market in Haikou

A slaughterhouse is a table used for slaughtering small livestock or for dividing pieces of meat. The slaughter on the slaughter took place in the open air, in markets or places of sacrifice. Since small cattle are traditionally killed on the slaughterhouse and this can also be done publicly at special festivals (Easter), the slaughterhouse is also popularly known as the sacrificial bank.
