All slaughtered animals must be bled before processing. When too much blood is retained in the meat it becomes more prone to spoilage, and blood acts as a carrier for food borne pathogens. The blood also seems to carry in it the essence of the animal; when the blood is gone, only a carcass remains. After this animal stopped bleeding, I heard the butcher ask the farmer in past-tense, “what was his name?”

Note to collectors:
There will always be slight variances between each print. I strive for consistency throughout the edition, but the nature of printing etchings by hand is that no two are exactly alike. Yours will look very similar to, but not exactly like, the print shown here. This is why each print of the edition is considered an original, not a reproduction.
