skinner
Hides processor professionally
A skinner is someone who skins animals—removing hides for leather, fur, or processing.
The term applies to trappers, hunters, and workers in meat-packing plants.
By extension, a skinner is anyone who strips or flays: The mule skinner drove his team through the pass.
A mule skinner is a mule driver, the name perhaps from the cracking of whips. (Capitalized Skinner is a surname associated with behaviorist psychology.)
