slaughterman
Kills livestock professionally
A slaughterman is a worker who kills animals in a slaughterhouse, typically by stunning and bleeding them before butchering.
The term is more common in British English than American, where *slaughterhouse worker* or *meatpacker* tends to cover the role: He worked as a slaughterman at the local abattoir for thirty years.
