The "Slaughter Stone" in the foreground - it is speculated that this stone was not actually used for sacrifices, but the reddened areas are from iron oxide deposits in the stone.
Love the slaughter stone because of the oh-so-dramatic ending of Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the D'Urbervilles"
Trip with a few good people to an abandoned meat dealer. I *really* enjoyed this shot. 30 second exposure in the dark, using onboard flash, gave me a really creepy effect that I was looking for :)
Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" opens with young Pip in a graveyard where he is grabbed and threatened by an escaped prisoner. Very scary for Pip. This photo reminds me of that opening scene although Pip's family name is not "Slaughter"

Retreat and Counterattack
"For my part the more I think of that battle, the more annoyed I am that such a great chance should have failed me."
— Gen. George G. Meade, USA
"Our cannon flamed and roared, and the roar of musketry was terrific. The foe halts, wavers, and flies. We, double charging our guns, pour the canister among them."
— "Ben," Pee Dee (S.C.) Artillery, CSA
Forced back but not ready to give up, Gen. John Gibbon's soldiers launched three counterattacks, but each was repulsed. Hopelessness set in. "It was with real pain that I gave the order for the brigade to fall back," reported brigade commander Col. Adrian Root. "The officers and men received it with surprise and grief." Audacious Georgians pursued the Union soldiers into this field but ran headlong into late-arriving Union reinforcements under Gen. David Birney. The Georgians were driven back with substantial losses. Other Confederate counterattacks failed as well.
The fighting south of Fredericksburg left more than 5,000 Union and 4,000 Confederate soldiers dead, wounded, or missing. With its failure here, the Union lost its best chance for victory at Fredericksburg. The Union army fell back across the Rappahannock River and camped for more than four months before a new commander, Gen. Joseph Hooker, dared to cross the river again.

Animal Equality is taking a stand against the deregulation of Brazil's meat industry by exposing the cruel practices occurring within 'backyard' slaughterhouses. Investigators have documented severe animal mistreatment at the time of their slaughter as well as unsanitary environments which present a health hazard.
These images show a future where slaughterhouses are left to regulate themselves under Brazil’s Self-Control Bill. This harmful bill will put nearly 7 billion of Brazil’s farmed animals will be at an even greater risk of cruelty, and public health at risk.
