Culturally Rationalized Forms of Chicken Sacrifice: The Kaporos Ritual & the Chicken Project
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, November/December 2010:
by Karen Davis, Ph.D., president & founder, United Poultry Concerns
The idea that some groups were put on the
earth to suffer and die sacrificially for a
superior group or ideal goes far back in time.
This idea is deeply embedded in human cultures,
including the culture of the West, which is
rooted in ancient Greek and Hebrew modes of
thought, incorporated into Christianity, where
these roots combine.
