He used a metaphor in which he slaughters his entire team? Sheesh, talk about making the subtext text.

The metaphor also breaks down because if you're trying to make a bacon and eggs dish without any hens then you end up eating bacon with bacon instead.
I dont think the metaphor breaks down at all I just think it is saying things that while very true are not meant to be communicated to the pigs and hens.
A bacon and eggs dish without eggs isn't a bacon and eggs dish, so in the metaphor the business fails to achieve its stated aim.
