What is a slaughter the collective noun for?

The collective noun "slaughter" isn't actually used to describe a group of anything.

"Slaughter" is a verb that means to kill animals for food, or to kill people violently in large numbers.

There are other collective nouns that are used to describe groups of animals, like:

* Flock: A group of birds

* Herd: A group of cattle, sheep, or other large mammals

* Pack: A group of wolves or dogs

* School: A group of fish

* Colony: A group of insects

* Pride: A group of lions

However, "slaughter" itself isn't a collective noun.
