EMERGENCY RESCUE OF 250 KAPOROS CHICKENS! 11 September 2021 EMERGENCY RESCUE OF 250 KAPOROS CHICKENS! Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos Published by Jill Carnegie EMERGENCY RESCUE OF 250 CHICKENS! This morning [Friday, Sept 10], the Official NYC Kaporos Team were the first responders to a terrifying scene - multiple crates of baby chickens had fallen off a transport truck making a sharp turn, and were abandoned at a dangerously busy intersection. Nearly 250 birds were injured, running loose in the streets, and trapped in direct hot sun. They were being trucked to Kaporos sites. Our team assessed and triaged every bird, and dove under trucks in the busy road to make sure every single chicken was safe. Thank you to Allie Feldman Taylor of Voters For Animal Rights for alerting us and acting quickly at the scene, in addition to our other skillful volunteers. We are now partnering with Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) to place the birds in good homes and get them the care they need. Thank you for supporting our work to help as many birds as we can: Fundraiser Progress Update “All the truck survivors have been triaged and transported to the Animal Care Centers partner homes. We have 14 at the vet now!” – Jill Carnegie, Sept 11, 2021 Read: "300 live chickens abandoned on Brooklyn street, animal rights activists race to scene," NY Daily News, Sept 10, 2021. 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.
