In 2021, NYC's animal rights community staged a multi-front effort to help the estimated 100,000 victims of Kaporos, an annual ritual animal slaughter that violates multiple city and state health and cruelty laws and puts the public at risk of a zoonotic disease outbreak. — Donny Moss, Their Turn

The Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos is grateful to Donny Moss of Their Turn for documenting this year’s Kaporos including our vigorously coordinated effort to help the chickens and educate the public about the horrific suffering and death inflicted on these birds – over 700 of whom the Alliance Team rescued and placed in loving homes and sanctuaries around the country. — United Poultry Concerns

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.
