It's also important to note that only the Kohanim (a subset of the priests - Levites) were premited to acctualy preform the sacrifices.

And yet Kapparot/Kapores is still practiced, and it still involves the sacrifice of a chicken before Yom Kippur.

There's Judaism according-to-the-book and then there's Judaism as actually practiced, which in a significant portion of communities still involves some animal sacrifice.
