Prospect Park Animal Murder Mystery Continues

Turns out the water in Prospect Park Lake—that many thought was contaminated following a few bird deaths—is totally fine! The Department of Environmental Protection ran a test and everything checked out... so why are all these birds dying?

PIX News reports from the scene, where in recent weeks a dead duck, a dead blackbird, a dead crawfish, chicken heads and other dismembered animals have been discovered. John Boy the local swan was also found injured there recently; he later died. It's unknown at this time if the bird deaths have anything to do with the dismembered animal parts, but with contaminated water being ruled out all signs point to animal cruelty.

What's most shocking is that when the network arrived at the park yesterday... all those dismembered animal parts were still there! The police told reporters they were the "original batch" and that they are still trying to find out who is responsible for dumping them. Meanwhile, children were "disgusted" by the body parts. Perhaps it's time to clean those up?

    I strongly recommend to sneak up behind a swan and kick it really hard. They get so angry and startled it is hilarious. They cannot believe somebody would actually do that.

    Is it really too difficult for your pea brain to devise a comment that's even remotely intelligent?

    sounds like some guy just going to the meat aisle in any supermarket in nyc and buying livers, feet, wings, and just about anything else wrapped up in plastic in a foam tray for $.49 a pound and dumping it into the water for the ensuing park slope blogger hilarity.

    meanwhile anybody can sit in the park eating mcdonalds and nobody blogs about the animal slaughter!!! HAHHAA

    rump roast is on sale at kfood, expect whole baby game hens soon, they are on sale TWO for 99cents at shoprite.

    how much page views will an order of wings from the local chinese takeout get????

    Seems more like Santeria. Similar animal parts have also been found around Ft. Tryon Park in upper Manhattan.

    This story is so upsetting. I'm really not comfortable with the idea of some disturbed individual lurking around Prospect Park mutilating animals

  • whyyyy

    ...they thought the water was dismembering the animals?
