You don't want to get near the pit anyway. Slice off a side (now called 'front', lay it flat and cut off the other two sides, then flip and cut the 'back' off. Score the flesh while it's attached to the skin, then flip the skin inside out so you have chunks ready to pluck off the skin.
Winter before last we were feeding trimmings from an organic produce house that did a lot of prep for restaurants and delis, and the cattle would carry the mango pits around and suck on them for days after they'd eaten all the cabbage cores and squishy tomatoes and outside leaves of radicchio and smashed green peppers.
The cattle won't eat red bell peppers, for some reason, but the songbirds devour them with enthusiasm.
Julia, right now we're feeding apple pulp from an organic cider mill

And in an odd aside.....cows love mangoes though they get a bit frothy at the mouth sucking on the pit
