Implicatures of "Carve"

From today's World Wide Words, ed. M. Quinion:

"Under the heading, "Terms of a Carver" (in a 1508 book,The Book of Carving", 1508)appeared a list of the terms for carving *any type* of flesh, fowl or fish. The attentive reader (the master of a big household, not an illiterate servant, presumably) was instructed that one should

break a deer
disfigure a peacock
dismember a heron
lift a swan
unjoint a bittern
unbrace a mallard
thigh a pigeon
splat a pike
scull a tench
culpon a trout.

But never, never
carve.
