Let an agent explain slaughterhouses and how they operate under regulation, describe welfare, hygiene and environmental requirements, present debates with attribution, and describe history and heritage conversions.
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.
