Jewish center sued over controversial chicken-killing ritual

On a September day last year, between the Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, a group of worshipers gathered in a parking lot at the Woodland Hills Hebrew Discovery Center for a religious ritual called kapparot.

The Animal Protection and Rescue League alleges that Rabbi Netanel Louie killed and discarded the chickens without using them for food, violating an animal rights law that bars maliciously and intentionally mutilating, torturing or wounding animals.The group is seeking an injunction against the Hebrew Discovery Center forbidding the kapparot practice.

in the Pico-Robertson area, where the rabbi says the tradition is prevalent. Since then, the practice hasn’t ended, but faith leaders seem to have taken the ritual inside private homes, he said.since 2015 in connection with kapparot. Temporary restraining orders were issued but then lifted in October 2016, days before Yom Kippur, when the ritual is traditionally practiced.

In the latest lawsuit, the Animal Protection and Rescue League also alleges that its 1st Amendment rights were violated by Los Angeles police during a protest at the Woodland Hills synagogue last year.
