That's from the Oxford dictionary. Anything else you would use would be shit. Not to mention that's what the word slaughter has always meant anyway. Shit, I'll take a crack at it. Let's just post the rest of that definition: slaughter VERB [WITH OBJECT] 1Kill (animals) for food. ‘at present the abattoir is slaughtering animals for the domestic market’ 1.1 Kill (people or animals) in a cruel or violent way, typically in large numbers. ‘innocent civilians are being slaughtered’ 1.2informal Defeat (an opponent) thoroughly. ‘the first team were slaughtered’ So, if the animals being harvested for products other than meat are: -Killed in a cruel or violent way, especially in large numbers It still fits the definition of slaughter. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/slaughter But what are the definitions of cruel and violent?
