The only place I've heard the term is for the area of a beef processing plan where they kill the cattle.

"The Killing Floor" is the name of an album by Vigilantes of Love (VOL)

In musical terms, the use of 'Killing Floor' goes all the way back to a song of the same name made popular by Howlin' Wolf. This is where Led Zep picked it up from - in fact, they were accused of stealing large parts of The Lemon Song direct from old blues songs. Other later artists, such as VOL are continuing this tradition. None of which explains why the term was used in the original song in the first place.
