Padre, poor chickens figure into so many ancient decapitating rituals, poor
dears !! I would hate, if I believed in this, to reincarnate over and over again as a chicken on this planet.
May this fellow represent that last generation to feel the need to perform this particular ritual, from my lips to God's ears.

sometimes the old customs are hard to break...
I guess what matters is the belief behind it.
