Joseph, I can say the same thing to you.

It’s a fact that kapparos with chickens, the way it’s done now, causes a chillul Hashem. The guy from Monsey who gave an interview boasted about not paying the fines he received. Is this how to do a mitzvah? Causing non-Jews to look at us and say, “Look at those Jews, they think they’re above the law, leaving chicken feces on the streets, stinking up our neighborhood, and not paying the fines they’re given” is not the way to do it. The system needs to be fixed.
