Anti-Chicken-Kaporos Activists Relaunch Legal Attack

SPECTRUM NEWS NY1 COVERAGE
July 17, 2020

NEW YORK CITY - Anti-Kapporos crusaders are relaunching a legal attack against
the Orthodox Jewish ritual - which involves slitting throats of tens of
thousands of live chickens in the streets of New York City - arguing the novel
coronavirus pandemic presents new evidence it's harmful to human health.

"This is a real danger now that needs to be recognized," attorney Nora Marino
said. "It's not about what could happen, it's about what has happened."

Marino, who represents the Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos (the name has
multiple accepted spellings) filed this month a motion to renew her case -
struck down in 2018 by the New York Court of Appeals - and compel the NYPD to
enforce Health Department codes she says are routinely broken during the
pre-Yom Kippur atonement ritual.

BACKGROUND

In early July, 2020, attorney Nora Constance Marino announced that "In light of
the Covid-19 virus, and the consensus that it arose from a zoonotic cause, many
people have been questioning how the city can possibly allow Kaporos to take
place this year. On that premise, I have moved to 'renew' my prior motion from
2015, and have asked the lower court to reconsider its decision of 2015, in
light of 'new evidence' -- the new evidence being the emergence and occurrence
of Covid-19. I also had air samples taken from various Kaporos locations in
2019, which indicated dangerous pathogens in the air, and included that as 'new
evidence' as well. There are additional items of new evidence, also included in
my arguments."

The Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos is a project of United Poultry Concerns.
Formed in New York City in June 2010, the Alliance is an association of groups
and individuals who seek to replace the use of chickens in Kaporos ceremonies
with money or other non-animal symbols of atonement. The Alliance does not
oppose Kaporos per se, only the cruel and unnecessary use of chickens in the
ceremony. [link removed]
