Activists Disrupt Chicken Massacre in Brooklyn, Yom Kippur, 2015 (2015)

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year in Judaism, and is also called Day of Atonement. Each year before Yom Kippur, tens to thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews gather in the streets of Brooklyn in order to perform a ritual slaughter. They swing chickens around their heads to transfer their sins to the animals, before they send them to slaughterhouses on public sidewalks where the chickens are killed and dumped into garbage bags. Animal rights activists gather around in the streets to protest the cruel ritual sacrifice.
