Jews vs. PETA

Now here's something that caught my eye, particularly as I heard a Quiz Bowl question about it just a few hours ago. A rabbi is complaining that he's been harassed by PETA supporters as a result of the old ritual of slaughtering chickens before Yom Kippur.

On the one hand, I do have to ask if killing chickens is really necessary to atone for your sins. On the other hand...I really, really despise PETA. So in this case, I'm going to have to come down on the side of the chosen people. I mean, they've lasted this long. They must be doing something right.
