Original Note:
Incorrect. It is legal. This is a religious ceremony called Kapparot or Kaporos. In 2015 New York Supreme Court Justice Debra James ruled that the 2,000-year-old tradition could be practiced. Cases have been won several times in favor of the right to practice Kaporos https://www.animallaw.info/case/alliance-end-chickens-kaporos-v-new-york-city-police-dept https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/it-officially-legal-ritually-kill-chickens-streets-new-york-city-180956667/
