while it might reduce the contact and fear associated with holding a helpless chicken and twisting it around in space by the humans, it probably also is less traumatic for the chicken, In a cage which moves around, rather than getting his feet grabbed tightly togther and swung around…

Hopefully someone will make this a thing for the future years.
Great for the chicken, great for us

Such a great idea!

Because kapporas comes once a year,…… it probably isn’t marketable.

But, it is clever.

Very niiice, I like.
