But the thousands of daily deaths of animals are hidden away and on the butcher's shelf meat looks innocuous, nothing like the living thing it was. How many meat-eaters would cut the throat of a cow themselves, and hack open its belly with a knife to empty its intestines?

This bird had just landed after doing its flight display in perfect light for me to get photographs but, of course, I butchered the opportunity.

Of all recognised occupations by which, in civilised countries, a livelihood is sought and obtained, the work which is looked upon with the greatest loathing (next to the Hangman's) is that of the Butcher—as witness the opprobrious sense which the word "butcher" has acquired. Henry S.

Pat Fish was the creative force behind a band called Jazz Butcher – he died in October last year. There are also several songs on Spotify with “ Little Egret” in the title, but at first listening, they all seem to suck. So, I need to find something else to say about this species. Maybe link to another music recommendation?

I’ll copy the whole thing here in case I butcher it: What we need do is study the wing formulae of the two birds. It requires a good look at the bird’s wings, which isn’t too much to ask considering the lazy slow flaps both crows employ to get from one place to another.
