* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Leitch_%28Mad_Butcher%29 Peter Leitch], aka "The Mad Butcher", a New Zealand businessman whose butchery chain has earned widespread popularity and who is also known for his charity and Rugby League work. The "mad" also at least partly comes from his [[Motor Mouth]] speaking style. |

* ''Megalania prisca'', a [[Badass|giant extinct monitor lizard]], has a genus name that was at first thought to mean "Giant butcher". However, it turns out that the name actually means "Giant wanderer". Shame, because the former meaning sounds much more fitting for such a [[Badass]] animal. |

* The 19th century German bandit Johannes Bückler was mostly known as ''Schinderhannes'', or "John the Butcher". However, he had that name long before he became an infamous criminal since, like all the men in his family, he was a butcher by profession. While he did commit some cases of manslaughter during his criminal career, he wasn't exceptionally viscious, but his name probably helped a lot to make him one of the most well known bandits of the time. |
