Slaughter is to kill. Slaughtering is to be in the act of killing something
The word slaughter essentially means a mass killing, usually of animals for selling the meat on market. It can also mean a very brutal murder. Not exactly a fun word to learn.
Slaughtering is worse

To slaughter 25 sheep in 5 days without slaughtering an odd number each day, you can slaughter 4 sheep each day for the first 4 days, totaling 16 sheep. On the fifth day, you would then slaughter the remaining 9 sheep. This way, you adhere to the restriction of not slaughtering in odd numbers on the first four days and still manage to slaughter all 25 sheep within the allotted time.
