[Avodah] schechtworthy

[Zev Sero]

I think what we're dealing with here is not the loss of the standard
chezkas kashrus that every Jew is presumed to have, but of a higher
level of proven trustworthiness that is demanded of communal shochtim.
I imagine that those who fired a shochet for wearing galoshes would
still allow him to testify at a din torah, and would even eat at his
home.  But his deviation from communal norms made his yir'as shomayim
suspect enough not to eat from his shechita.
