The Halachic Yom Kippur Ritual of Atonement Through Kaparot
by Lior Rozenman

Why is this religious Jew cutting a chicken's throat? Kaparot is an ancient ritual of atonement for Yom Kippur. Though it can be held anytime between the ten days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, it most commonly is done at the outset of Yom Kippur, the last of the ten Days of Awe period of the high holidays in the Jewish religious tradition.

The ritual itself is simple enough: a chicken is waved over one’s head three times while the slaughterer recites a specific prayer. The chicken is slaughtered in accordance with halachic religious procedure, after which the monetary worth of the chicken is donated to the poor; today the chicken itself is donated to a charitable cause.

Come to Jesus, Israel, your time is running out.

Waving a chicken over your head is absurd...

Yes it's much better to mindlessly eat chicken.
