Thanks for that. I learned something here. On a related note, is 'abbatoir' the prefered term in the industry over 'slaughterhouse'?

  In my experience1, it is more common in European writings. American usage seems to be mainly by those who reject the "industrial agricultural complex" in favor of farms which provide more natural environments and biodiversity. 1 I grew up on a small "grass farm" reading Stockman Grass Farmer, Joel Salatin's writings, etc. and still pay some attention to what goes on.
