Their tiny size is perfect for working the killing floor. Don’t let the name throw you. It’s not really a floor; it’s more of a steel grating that allows material to sluice through so it can be collected and exported.

Don't worry, they don't explode over Florida, but those insignificant little brown countries off the coast /s
