Meat - from all angles

I have been hunting for an illustration that shows all the parts of an animal and how they are used, in order to show the by-products of meat consumption. This could be a layered illustration of one of the most consumed meats, such as lamb, extrapolating and explaining body parts. from the outside in, and could include:

fur/wool
skin
fat
flesh (meat/tissue)
bloodvessels
organs (offal and other names)
blood

use of materials from stock animals which are eaten might include:

medical (transplant etc)
domestic (tallow for candles/fat for lubrication/skin for gloves, vellum, shoes, clothing etc)
culinary (meat, offal - eaten as it is or used for casings as in sausages or haggis)
commercial (bones for glue, bonemeal, animal feed etc)

cultural preferences/requirements/customs in using animals, including squeamish stuff like eating eyeballs and testicles and so on
