The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is investigating anti-Semitic and threatening e-mails sent to a Brooklyn-based Jewish charity, police told the NY Daily News.
The organization, the National Committee for the Furtherance of Jewish Education, has come under fire from PETA for shechting thousands of chickens at a Brooklyn Kaparos center.
PETA contends the Tzedakah run by Rabbi Shea Hecht throws out most of the slaughtered chickens. Hecht disputes the charge. Hecht conceded that a couple hundred of the roughly 4,000 slaughtered chickens are typically thrown away because they are deemed unkosher. The rest, he said, are distributed to the poor.
The animal rights group urged its supporters last month to write to the charity demanding an end to the Kaparos ritual and a PETA spokesman says the Kaparos is "abusive and unnecessary".
