New York City police are investigating a rabbi’s complaint that he received a thousand threatening e-mails over the slaughter of chickens before a Jewish holy day.
Rabbi Shea Hecht of the National Committee for Furtherance of Jewish Education says the e-mails were sent by supporters of a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals campaign opposing the ritual. Police said some people added threatening and antisemitic comments to an online PETA form letter.
