From the New York Post:
Variety of mutilated animals found strewn in city parks
By Aaron Short September 6, 2015 | 3:18amThere’s magic in New York City’s parks — black magic.
More than a dozen mutilated animals have been discovered in the past 18 months, apparent victims of ritual sacrifice, records show.
New Yorkers found four severed goat heads, scores of mutilated chickens and other birds, three butchered pigs and a calf’s head, according to 311 complaint data.
The Fort George Playground in Highbridge Park in upper Manhattan was fouled by a particularly gruesome animal mutilation in January 2014 — a goat head “pinned up on one of the trees” and the body “wrapped in a red sheet and on the ground,” a 311 caller reported.
Goat heads were twice found in another kiddie park, the Lincoln Road Playground inside Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
In the same park, a passer-by noticed a dead duck and two decapitated doves placed “in possibly some sort of ritual” near a statue of Challenger astronaut Ronald McNair in June 2014.
“The bodies are forming a ring and the heads are very close to this ring,” the caller reported. …
Parks officials could not say if the animals were butchered in the public spaces or dumped, but acknowledged some could have been used in religious rituals.
* Rotting entrails: this is what vibrancy smells like.
* I think Haitians could make a good case for religious discrimination. Since NYC permits Jews to do their ritual chicken choking ceremonies (Kapparot) right out on the streets of Brooklyn, where does the city get off telling Haitians they can’t sacrifice small animals, too?
* Rather than butchering animals at random locations, maybe we could offer Haitians and other Caribbeans some nice ritual sacrifice area off in some corner of the park.
Add some faucets, hoses and storm drains. Maybe an altar, stone carving of Baphomet, something like that. It would satisfy the Haitian religious desires, with the added advantage of being easy to hose down and clean up. Add a dumpster for carcasses and leftover body parts.
Put it on the park maps so Non-Pagan Americans (NPAs) would know what areas of the park to avoid. Alternatively, if NPAs wanted to watch they would know exactly where to go. Heck, it could become quite a tourist attraction: frenzied, ecstatic dancing in animal skins, painted bodies, native drumming, etc.
