Quote:
Cattle are slaughtered (not slain) at slaughterhouses. Reses estan matados en mataderos. When a person is slaughtered, they are brutally murdered like an animal ----------------------------------------------------------------- To slay is more dignified. St George slew the dragon. Sometimes a soldier may have to slay the enemy, but when a soldier slaughters his enemy there is less dignity involved and perhaps wrong-doing.

Sorry to introduce noise here, but if "to slaughter" is to kill with violence, why does it have a smaller punishment than murder?

Slaughter is what's done to animals. When a human is slaughtered the context is awful.
