The Butchery and Dissection of a Unicorn This will be a paper discussing the proper practice for butchering and dissecting a unicorn. I am very much aware that the belief in these animals has waned greatly in the last couple of centuries, but I can tell you from personal experience that a unicorn doesn’t care if you believe in it any more than you care if the unicorn believes in you. Dispatching the beast should be done in a quick, humane way to avoid unnecessary injury to the internal organs of both the animal and yourself. While there are many ways to dispatch these creatures, care should be taken to avoid puncturing anything on the animal below the neck, as this may spill the contents of specific organs into the abdominal cavity and cause

Stainless steel or any other metal will simply not be able to cut or otherwise puncture the skin or tissues of a unicorn as they are fey creatures. Once the creature is dispatched the process of butchery can begin. Standard practice is to bleed out the animal as a first step. This bleed out is usually done by suspending the animal by its hind legs and slicing through the carotid arteries and jugular veins. Allowing the blood to collect in a trough to be bottled later is a great idea both for profitability and in keeping your workplace safe (it tends to get slippery and then sticky if left underfoot). After the blood has been dealt with, it’s time to remove the …show more content…
It would probably be best, at this point, to place the head somewhere out of sight. This will help to avoid feeling like the unicorn’s judgmental eyes are watching you. They probably are. Now that we are working with a substantially more maneuverable specimen, it is time to remove the organs. In organ removal, it is especially important to work with a steady and slow hand. The slightest accidental slip of the blade could result in unexpected and fantastical catastrophes. I once saw a fellow cut into the anterior nethergloben, releasing an unintended discharge of netherium directly on to his face. His entrails became his extrails immediately before the whole of him exploded in a shower of pearlescent
