Original Note:
This is not evidence of Orthodox Jews torturing chickens. The ancient custom sees worshippers waving a chicken above their heads as prayers are recited. Orthodox Jews believe that sins accumulated throughout the year will be transferred to the bird, thus granting them atonement https://web.archive.org/web/20121224151357/http://www.jewishveg.com/schwartz/kapparot.html
