Kapparos

Hi everyone, as you know it’s kapparos time. Unfortunately most people are unaware that the chickens used for kapparos are held in very poor conditions and are usually not fed and not provided with water. If anyone is interested in helping improve their conditions, please consider bringing them food and water. The easiest way to achieve this is by using fruit such as watermelon which you can insert into the crates. The watermelon contains a lot of water and is also a good source of nutrients. I did this tonight at a kapparos center when nobody was around and was able to feed them cucumbers, watermelon and cheerios.

Also if you’re even braver, you could approach the kapparos managers and ask them if they feed the chickens, and bring to their attention that these are living creatures that are capable of suffering if not fed properly and perhaps recommend them to feed and water the animals.

It’s a small gesture, but a big act of kindness.

Thanks
