  Across the walls of the shop hang fresh cuts of meat, catch pans along the 
floor gathering the oozing blood dripping from the merchandise.  Beyond a 
battered curtain of beads at the back of the shop lies the slaughter room.  A 
heavy chunk of flesh lies on the chopping block next to the counter, ready for 
the butcher's handiwork.  The cries of animals in the midst of death at the 
hands of the butcher's assistants occasionally pierce the drone of the crowds 
outside.
