Once my grandma took a friend along food shopping. Both women wanted to buy some chicken, so they went to Grandma's kosher butcher, and after Grandma had selected her (live) hen, the butcher turned to the other woman, who quavered "Oh, please, don't kill one just for *me*." She wasn't opposed to killing; she just didn't want to take personal responsibility for it. Ken's example is disgusting, but does it offend our moral sense, or only our sensibilities?
