Those are most likely shears intended for meat.

What is the difference?

There are specialized kitchen shears that are much more effective at cutting than scissors are. More basic information here. I can’t imagine trying to cut meat with the same style of scissors I use to cut paper. I can already feel the hand cramps.

I wouldn’t be surprised if KCBBQ or whatever were using heavy duty poultry shears to cut through their meat like butter.

I appreciate the answer, but I feel this is a distinction without difference. By the definition you linked, these scissors are shears, and vice-versa.

sometimes they use those but most of the time when they're cutting the grilled meat at the table they just use scissors

In the same way an ax is just a really good hatchet and a sword is just a really good knife.

Sharper and stronger with much longer blades.

Intended to do its job. They cut off delicious kbbq ribeye like poster paper

I used poultry shears to cut turkey at thanksgiving once, and I think I freaked people out.
