Most of the chilul Hashem caused by kapporos is that caused by the self styled modern Jews who cause trouble for their betters by stirring up all sorts of allegations and complaining, which in turn leads to outright mesira. They are unable to live Yiddishe lives because of their own weaknesses, and instead of improving themselves they complain about those who are stronger than they are.
The handful of poorly run kapporos locations are a drop in the bucket compared to the stink raised by PETA and their minions, who include some who are ostensibly shomrei Torah umitzvos, but who are basically “ma yoffis” assimilated Jews deep down and want to show that they, too are “orthodox” but chas vesholom do not do anything as barbaric as shlugging kapporos.
In the end, the non-Jews respect us, the ones who stand up for what we believe in. They have only contempt for those who give in to nonexistent pressure and become lukewarm in their practices while attacking those who do what Hashem wants us to do without worrying about what the goyim, be they descendants of Amalek, Yishmoel, Esav or just the grandchildren of those who stood by and watched us being slaughtered time and time again, think of us.
If it ever happens again (chas vesholom), we will see that once again the kapporos knife will land on the ma yoffis Jews first, the ones who never expected the neighbors whose standards they fell to in order to please them to land on them like a ton of bricks when the tide turns.
