abattoir

The still hunting of the natives has all the romance and danger attending the slaughter of sheep in an abattoir.

Have you ever seen a herd of cattle being driven to abattoir on a fine May morning?

It was only a scratch and he had been knocked down like a beef in an abattoir by an unseen enemy, on whom he could not lay hands!

Its position, near a small ravine in which runs a brook, may lead us to suppose that here was the abattoir of the Roman army.
