At first I felt this could be added to cooking, as another skill with 2 on the way this year would be quiet tedious... developing existing skills and adding more diverse ways to train them is probably more of a priority to splitting off skills.
For example, changing attack to accuracy, so you have your aim, your defence, and your power in three disciplines (melee, ranged and magic) is something that would simplify the combat skills. However it would confuse many existing players making them feel alienated, and like the EoC is an update that would split the community.

It might be a skill on it's own though - if you flesh it out a bit more and add some suggested details/examples, more players (and JaGeX) will support you.
You're also going to have to find problems with your idea, and clashes with existing content, and ways around it eg.
Q: What will happen to existing meat drops like rat, bear and wolf meat?
A: These could be the lowest level carcasses to start off the skill, butchering them will result in rat/bear/wolf meat.

All I can say, is good luck!

I like butchery, but I think the 'Survival' skill. It would replace firemaking. Someone suggested it on the forums a while ago, but that thread is not on the forums anymore.

Survival was mainly based around making fires, resistance to poison and dragonfire, need of water in the desert. I thought also the amount of water you gained from a cactus, but im not sure about it. I dont remember it very well.

Or butchery should be put in survival, or in cooking.

so its not rly deserving of being called a skill just a middle ground from fishing to cooking....which has no benefit whatsoever because it just makes the process slower and less efficent. it does not enrich the runescape experience at all. plz add a new skill

Handsum Jack, This suggestion has very little to do with fishing except to create additional food with different advantages that are not fish. To summarize the Butchering idea as just a step between catching a fish and cooking it is a great misrepresentation and demonstrates a lack of understanding of the idea.

I fail to understand how having the hundreds of creatures (not fish), that currently drop no meat, drop a carcass that could be butchered into cook-able pieces with different health advantages wouldn't enrich the game. Whether its part of cooking, its own skill, or worth remaking the entire drop system of the game are definitely debatable.
"Just middle ground between from fishing to cooking" it is not.
