Jack the ripper was a mass murderer who raped and killed prostitutes. He could have been a butcher but his knowledge on the human body (eg: when he took kidneys and dismembered Mary Jane Kelly's torso.) made it obvious that he was more of a doctor. ; )
Since the identity of the Ripper was never discovered we may never know for sure. But in several of the many letters sent to police and other principles in the case the writer infered that he had eaten body parts. The Dear Lusk letter that came wrapped in a small box with half of a human kidney the killer states that he had eaten the other half, stating that is was quite good. He didn't mention if he ate it with fava beans and a nice chianti.
Cannibalism and/or necrophilia are very repulsive to most people but not completely uncommon for some killers.
The mutilations carried out by the Ripper on his victms led many to belive that the killer must have had anatomical knowledge. A butcher would have such knowledge, as would a medical doctor, a vetenarian or a furrier.
But it is also true that medical books were available to those that could afford them which could have supplied such knowledge to any layperson. From the photos of victim Catherine Eddowes it is obvious that the kliller had little experience as a surgeon. Her wounds were jagged and unskilled which denotes an unskilled hand carried out the mutilations.
No, but he did sometimes perform surgery and remove body parts of his victims.

Jack The Ripper's MO (modus operandi) was cutting the throats of his victims and then mutilating them, and in some victims he took internal organs.
Jack the Ripper, sliced his victims open and removed some of the their internal organs, he literally 'ripped' his victims apart.
There were token protests from a few family members and/or significant others as to the profession of their loved ones after meeting with Jack The Ripper, but the truth is without exception the Ripper's victims were full/part/occational prostitutes.
If you mean Jack the Ripper, he killed his victims with a knife, cutting the throats of women and then cutting out vital organs.
The area of Whitechapel and adjacent districts of London.
No. He killed five victims in 1888
Jack the ripper cut up his victims to show the authorities his deeds. Jefrey Dahmer cut his victims in a more horrific manner that the Jack the ripper. He ate parts of their bodies and made things to go with his furniture with victim's parts.
