Yes, the fact that most people don't usually kill the animals with their hands but pay someone else to do so does affect my gut reactions (cf “Near vs Far”) -- but I think that's a bug, not a feature.
It's easier to ignore/rationalize it if you can't see it, I think - I've heard stories of children growing up on farms who turned to vegetarianism when they learned where Fluffy went - so I suppose from a Virtue Ethics point of view it suggests they're less likely to be a Bad Person.
In other words, yes, that's a known bug.
