Original Note:
The kapporot practice is an ancient tradition. It does not involve transference of sins or tricking God. Instead the bird is given to feed the hungry, with the slaughter an experiential act to focus repentance in light of life's brevity. https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/989585/jewish/Kaparot.htm
