The Flatbush Jewish Journal apologized for an ad it ran in last weeks issue which said "for Kapparos use money not chickens". The ad was asking people not to use chickens for Kaporos. In an editorial they wrote "the FJJ should not have accepted that ad and certainly dosent endorse any of its contents or message". The minhag yisrael of kaporos has been accepted and practices by klal yisrael for millenia. To strengthen their sincere apology, the FJJ presented a series of letters from upset readers about the AD.
The FJJ has sold out to the extremists because they want ad dollars. FJJ censors most contents of letters that don't sit well with the yeshivish chumra crowd. Guaranteed that more people are upset with the abuse of chickens than the few who want to maintain the status quo.
