Help Us Help the Birds
Your Matching Donation is Needed!

Broiler chickens that are about 5 or 6 weeks old and still have the blue eyes of young chicks, are packed in crates awaiting the Kaporos ceremony. Animal advocates are concerned that the crated birds spend the night with no food, water or veterinary supervision, experiencing fear and pain.

Dear Friends,

A generous supporter of United Poultry Concerns has offered to provide a $10,000 matching donation to the Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos to assist our campaign to ban this cruel and illegal ritual. So far we’ve raised $7,670. Please make a tax-deductible donation and your generosity will be doubled with this matching pledge. The chickens need your help. We need your support to fight for the chickens through the court. Help us reach the $10,000 we need to receive the matching donation that awaits. Here is what we are fighting to end. Please watch, then give:

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.
