How did you manage to get Alton Brown to a strip club, and then make him say "Make it rain"?

I assume by your description that this is halal-slaughter. Every other place would kill the animal before bleeding.

It's still petty theft though. And especially bad since you're going for local businesses. I don't think being a butcher in America is easy, with the huge industries selling almost all of the meat available. It makes it especially harder if some idiots steal their animals.

Local slaughter houses, as in small scale businesses where the animals are slaughtered by experienced butchers?

Ah, so no theft. Good.
