Speaking as someone who apparently believes feigning incomprehension (also, immitation) is funny:

I don't get it. Why would you name the cow? It's not like it's a pet, or even a dairy cow. It's for eating.

Also why would you use a chainsaw?

Seems imprecise and messy.

I think it would be more efficient to have a specialized tool. But that tool would require a significant ammount of capital... Probably more than the cow! (or buying the burgers).

Maybe someone could have as a paid service a system where you could pay to use or rent the relevant equipment?

Is anyone doing that? Might be profitable. Note to self or others: look into that.

Although, I don't really feel like making a business out of that? It doesn't seem particularly elegant.

Also, my cooking skills aren't very good, so I don't think it would turn out as well?

Maybe I could do the initial cutting apart though?

And then pay someone else to turn the meat into burgers?

That's yet another thing to pay for though, and I don't think anyone is in the business of making burgers out of customer provided meat at the individual scale yet though.

Note to self: investigate this business idea as well.

(combined with renting out the machine???)

All in all, it seems rather time consuming though.

Maybe once every other month as a novelty?

Could be entertaining.

I wonder if the same equipment works with chickens.

... Speaking of which, I'm having trouble imagining a chicken bleed. Does it look the same as other animal blood?

Is it different because it's a bird?

I can imagine a cow bleeding fine, but that might be because the fur is short?

I also have trouble imagining a fish bleed, but I think I kind of remember that, so it's a bit easier.

I guess chicken bleeding would look normal then?
