The hen's fortune

Kapparot is a ritual that is performed towards the feast YOM KIPUR (Day of Atonement) by some Ultra-Orthodox Jews. During the ritual, a hen is swung over the head of the person, while (s)he is blessing: “This is my exchange, this is my substitute, this is my atonement. This hen will go to its death, while I will enter and proceed to a good long life and to peace”.

Then the hen is slaughtered.

 

Many object the ritual as ‘non-human’.

Personally, I think it is the easy way out:

I am afraid that the fortune of all the hens in the agricultural industry (in IL) is very bad, and non-human.

However, in IL there is almost only one consensus: to defame the Ultra-Orthodox Jews (when it is justified, and when it is hypocritical)
