Original Note:
Only a small portion of orthodox Jews perform this, and it is extremely misrepresented here. The chicken is softly passed over the head three times, not "swung". The Torah prohibits Jews from causing any unnecessary pain to living creatures, even psychological pain. https://www.npr.org/2009/09/26/113179433/swinging-chicken-ritual-divides-orthodox-jews
