Rescue & Adoption of Kaporos Chickens is Ready: Please Help!

Dear Friends,

In the first week of October, thousands of young chickens will be trucked from
factory farms to be "swung" and slaughtered in an annual ritual called Kaporos
("atonements") in which the birds are deliberately punished in place of the
practitioners. They are deprived of food, water, shelter, mercy and care as they
sit cramped in crates on the streets waiting to be painfully swung by their
wings as a chant is read: This is my substitute, my atonement. This rooster or
hen shall die, but I shall go to a good, long life, and to peace. They are then
cut in the throat with a knife, stuffed into filthy killing cones to bleed, then
thrown, dead or alive, into trash bags and hauled to a landfill.

Once again this year, a major operation is underway to save as many chickens as
can be rescued from the Kaporos ritual in Brooklyn, New York for adoption by
loving homes. The skilled, all-volunteer rescue team will provide veterinary and
foster care and deliver the chickens to their permanent new homes. The birds
will receive the compassionate care they so desperately need.

The total budget for this year's rescue operation is $15,000.

United Poultry Concerns, through our Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos, has
donated $12,000 for this project. We need to raise an additional $3,000 to meet
the goal of $15,000.

Please give what you can to help these chickens find peace and happiness in
their new homes.

_________

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]
