slaughtered- it means to kill animals for food, the killing of a large amount of people or animals in a cruel way.

Answer To expand on the above: slaughtered when referring to animals in a slaughteryard or abbottoirs infers killing the animals in a "correct" way, while when referring to humans or animals in large numbers infers cruelness. The term is actually misused by the media in the latter sense but has stuck. Phrases such as "wholesale slaughter" have become common.
