We are a coalition of compassionate people who have banded together to promote the use of money, instead of chickens, in the ritual of Kaporos ("atonements"), also spelled Kapparot, Kappores, Kaparos, etc.
About Me:
 
Dr. Amir Kashiv, who reviewed our videos stated:
The wings of the ''modern industrial'' chicken aren't strong enough to support its body and therefore it is largely flightless. In broiler chickens, even the legs can hardly carry the intentionally bred-for-increased-bulk body, resulting in very common lameness problems. Lifting the bird by its wings places an unnatural tension on ligaments, tendons and bones. Swinging the bird in the air can cause dislocations,tears, ruptures and broken bones. The manner in which chickens are handled during the ritual of Kaporos is, in my view, painful and harmful and thus inhumane.

Dr. Amir Kashiv MRCVS
(Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons)

Dr. Ian Duncan, Professor Emeritus of Poultry Science at the University of Guelph in Ontario: , wrote that "holding a domestic fowl with the wings pinned back as shown will be painful. It will be extremely painful if the bird is held in this position for some minutes."

Dr. Nedim Buyukmihci, Emeritus Professor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis, observed that "the manner in which the man is holding the chicken, with the wings pulled back, puts the chicken at risk for ligament and tendon injury, possibly even bone fracture."

I signed the petition and subbed to your channel. Thank you very much for helping the poor innocent chickens, they did nothing to deserve such horror. I support Animal Liberation from human tyranny and exploitation, I hope you too. :-)

We need to end this thing period. The whole thing is ana ddition to the Torah, and a distorted, pagan one at that.

response to you Say That to those people and bring up "tsa'ar ba'alei chaim" and they will say that ït Dosen't matter and then if you say "Yes it does" then they will accuse you of being a self hating jew or if u are an gentile then u will be called an anti-semite. Everyting that is not in those type of people favor is anti semetic to them. not jews use the word anti-semite to shut people up but people in those groups like chabad uses that term to silence anyone that goes aganist their acts even thought it is stupid.

foursixsquare, Oh please, go to the founding members page of our web site and you will see most of us are JEWS. My first formal language was Hebrew (because I lived in Israel from the ages of 5 to 7 1/2), and, after experiencing intense anti-Semitism in Tucson, Arizona (in the late 1960's), with anti-Jewish and anti-black literature stuffed into our daily papers by the American Nazi Party, the Ku Klux Klan, and the John Birch Society, at the age of 15, I came back to NYC and joined the Jewish Defense League. I was protecting those very Jews who accuse me of being "anti-Semitic" or a "self-hating Jew."

Kaporos is a huge money-maker, the proceeds of which go to Chabad's own "educational" fund. There is nothing wrong with accepting donations to support Jewish education. There is something horrifically wrong, however, in doing it at the expense of sentient creatures, in a practice that violates tsa'ar ba'alei chaim, the Jewish mandate not to cause harm to animals.

how about you go to the site crownheigts(dot)info and put in the word "Kaparos" on the search engine of any hasidic or chasidic site that you suspect of doing this type of ritual and see the comments that they allow to be posted on the page because the comments will always say that the protesters are anti-semeitc and hitler lovers and always bring up the holocaust to discredit the people protesting the ritual. I bet when in 2011 when the ADL releases the 2010 Audit And I bet that There will be something about Kaparos in it and you should know that it will be talking about your group and then i bet you will get angry because u know that u are not an anti-semite but i bet the average person will see that same audit and say "the people who protested the jews are anti semetic and they are the same type of people who said to exterminate 6 million jews in nazi times" trust me your group protest will be on that audit..
