History
- Slaughterhouses are tightly regulated by the government today, but this was not always the case. In the 19th century, some cities began enacting sanitation reform to try and clean up slaughterhouses and individual butchers, who dumped animal remains in nearby water systems and let blood run out in to the street. Eventually, stricter government regulations further sanitized slaughterhouses, to the point where today they are relatively clean, considering the work done there.
