butcher
Let an agent explain the butcher, relay the trade, its specialisms and its rules from reference sources respectfully, describe the specialised trades its aliases name, and distinguish a butcher from a fishmonger and from a chef.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the butcher, relay the trade, its specialisms and its rules from reference sources respectfully, describe the specialised trades its aliases name, and distinguish a butcher from a fishmonger and from a chef.
A tradesperson who prepares and sells meat, cutting carcasses into joints and cuts and often making products such as sausages; the registry aliases name specialised trades such as the charcutier, the poulterer who deals in poultry, the norcino for pork and the kosher slaughterer. Butchery is a skilled food trade governed by hygiene and, where relevant, religious rules, and the entry treats religious slaughter practices respectfully.
What it is for: Preparing and selling meat.
It can be explain the trade; relay specialisms and rules; describe specialised trades; distinguish it from related trades.
