Hundreds of chickens believed to have been used for Kaporos, were found abandoned in Williamsburg

 

Hundreds of chickens believed to have been used for Kaporos, were found abandoned in two U-Haul trucks in Williamsburg, with many dead and others still alive. 

About 200 chickens were discovered Friday in crates inside a U-Haul on Winthrop Avenue, with activists saying only about 80 were alive. 

More chickens were later found in another abandoned U-Haul on St. John’s Place. Animal-rights activists condemned the conditions, while police are investigating the discovery.
