'''Butchers''' do the dirty job of processing animal {{L|corpse}}s, skeletons and body parts for {{L|meat}}, {{L|fat}}, {{L|skin}}, {{L|bone}}s, {{L|Skull|skull}}(s) and many other objects at the {{L|butcher's shop}}.  

The type and number of objects produced from butchering a creature varies greatly e.g. since not all creatures have the same organs if any.

-[[Ambusher|Hunters]] will, once per hunting trip, bring back a corpse to the butchery.  If the hunter kills more than one creature on a single hunting trip the rest of the corpses will just be left on the ground; the same is true for creatures killed by [[trap]]s or the [[military]].  To get those corpse butchered you need to put a [[stockpile|refuse stockpile]] next to the butchery and set it to only accept corpses, and then set [[standing orders]] to gather outside refuse.
-Dwarves will refuse to butcher the corpses of sentient creatures.
-The type and number of objects produced from butchering a creature varies greatly, since not all creatures have the same parts. See each animal's page for a breakdown of what happens when you break that animal down.
-=Effect of skill=
-A butcher's skill affects the speed of butchery, which can be important for processing a large number of corpses before they begin to [[rot]]. Note that butcher shops can become [[clutter|cluttered]] quickly, because most animals create a large number of different items of different categories when butchered. So make sure that you have nearby stockpiles for refuse, raw hides, meat, prepared organs and fat. To minimize the amount of [[miasma]] created in case the rotting parts are not removed fast enough, a butcher's shop should always be blocked by a [[door]].
-==Bugs==
-*A tame animal that is not killed by your military cannot be butchered.{{bug|1180}} This includes tame animals killed due to age or due to goblins.
-*Unlike in 40d, dwarves will not dis-assemble (butcher) skeletons of sentient creatures' for their bones.{{bug|1180}}
