Syntax:
butcher [corpse]
Butchering involves cutting a corpse into pieces of meat intended for eating or cooking. This requires a knife and patience to butcher the corpse. The time required to butcher a corpse is mainly dependent upon the size of the corpse, and the skill of the person who is butchering. A larger corpse is easier to butcher, and a smaller one tougher. A fresh corpse and some skill in butchering will increase the amount of meat produced from butchering a corpse. Some knives may be better suited than others for this task.
If you can not carry all the meat you end up with, you can take a portion of it by typing
get [x] stones of meat
