What Mod Crow meant is this: When an animal is killed or a fish caught, the meat is already "butchered" and just needs to be cooked. This means that butchering is pointless.
Also, it doesn't seem exactly what you would call fun. All you would do would be buy meat off the G.E., cut it, and sell it back. It honestly seems like fletching food, lol. Seeing as there's already a fletching skill, I don't think Butchering would be welcomed. (I for one wouldn't; it was tedious enough getting 99 in fletching, and I don't want to do it again, lol.)
On a side note, some fish caught via barbarian fishing do have to be cut before they're edible. There's no reason to make a skill out of it, though.
Oh, and I had to mention this. How exactly are you going to eat, or butcher, a steel dragon tenderloin? After all, it's, well, made of steel.
To sum my thoughts up: No support, but I wouldn't mind seeing this as a necessary step in preparing a few higher healing foods; however it quite simply isn't material for a new skill.

I think a butchering skill is a fantastic idea, but it would be designed in a slightly different way then you have in mind. True, it would involve preparing various diverse meats, but there would be more emphesis on preparing the food into an edible state then refining it. For example, when you killed a cow, you woudn't recieve it gutted, chopped up, and deboned. When you killed it it would drop one thing; a cow corpse. Then you would take the corpse to a "Butchering table" in a kitchen and use a "Butcher knife" to turn the corpse into a raw steak, bones, and cow hide. There would be various "Butcher knives" from bronze to dragon, and you could probobly make a butchering table in the kitchen of your poh. Yes, there would be "Dragon meat" and "Dagganoth meat" but they would first be corpses, and you could find loot in those creature's stomachs. Now you woudnt recieve corpses when you slew intelligent life however, such as goblins or gnomes. Also, it could tie into hunting so when you caught wild game you would get butchering experience when you gutted it. The skillcape could be pink, and the emote could be pulling a chickin from behind your back, tossing it in the air, waving two butcher knives like mad when the chicken fell down into them, and then a luxourious silver platter with a golden brown chicken would appear in your hands. It would be a nonmember skill, and there would be quests where you were assigned to slay something and avail it of some loot, and you would be required to have some butchering level.
But in the end, its all up to Jagex.
