Floating Slaughterhouses - The Alien Dictionary

Floating Slaughterhouses

« Back to Glossary Index

“Fishing boats” are marine ships that go out to sea to slaughter animals.

Using the term in a sentence:

  • Floating slaughterhouses frequently use weapons of mass destruction such as trawling nets.
  • In many ways, floating slaughterhouses are worse than land slaughterhouses. The former kills many more individuals, and kills in the most grotesque way you can think of – suffocating to death on the ship, being taken away from the water world they had known their whole life.
