Butchering animals

I would like to preface this with the acknowledgment that while terminal to the animal, it has helped my progeny to survive and become educated at an early age of anatomy and physiology.

Field dressing a deer. My son and my friend cut a doe down. Our kids watched. I pointed out the internal organs and explained how each organ worked. Heart, lungs, intestine, liver...they saw this.

They both work in the medical field. An aside, they are not social workers with a debt problem.

I helped my grandfather butcher pigs. It was survival in an Appalachian area.
