Moderator-80, don’t forget that the Christian outlook is that Yushka died for their sins. In their worldview, since we are soooo bad that we don’t even worship the god/man that we killed as our “lord and savior”, it follows that if we’re shechting something else that we must be doing it in order to get vicarious atonement. Understand that these are bedrock principles of their religion, and if you tell them that Hashem cares at all about tefila, teshuva or tzedaka it just does not compute.

“According to Jewish tradition, people wave a bird over their head to “transfer” their sins to it”

this is NOT the purpose of Kapporos, and there is no such concept in Judaism

Chicken feed is very cheap so we’re not hearing the entire story.

I have to say that the way it is depicted in the post is bothersome.

“It is the killed”? It sounds like they take the chicken after kapporos and stomp on it or twist its neck. They make it sound like santeria, that the bird is killed and its blood is smeared and all sorts of voodoo. Sure the bird is killed, it is geshochten before it is eaten. Just like all chickens killed before they are eaten. Even non jews generally kill the chickens before they eat them.

Where was the ASPCA when the ducks in Prospect Park were eliminated? Were they waiting to eat duck delacacies?

The ASPCA is on an all out war with shechita. Just ask Rubashkin!
