I suppose. I guess they also rationalize killing a single animal is somehow different than killing 100 animals. They probably don't even consider the conditions those animals exist in.
The butcher doesn't kill the animal, the people at the abattoir do, so it was likely that he never had to think of any of the mechanics.
The article also mentions that it was a seasoned meat business. If it was a shop that specializes in something like custome sausages, the "butcher shop" might not even break down the animals themselves, just mix things together.
