Spotted in Prospect Park: Headless Chickens

Last year Prospect Park saw plenty of dead animals—from possible Santeria rituals to government-sanctioned Canada geese slaughters, almost every kind of animal fell victim to someone or something. Well, the blood is still pouring over there—Brooklyn Photos spotted these decapitated chickens "in the woods in the middle of Prospect Park" yesterday. Looks like the area is still a prime spot for Santeria rituals in 2011! Perhaps this whole dead animal thing will be one of the main focuses of the new park administrator taking over for Tupper Thomas this year.

Spencer I really agree with you. The people who did this is not human in my book. I am an avid animal lover and advocate for the HSUS and I believe that this is the job of a person or persons who have a sociopath tendency. These people have no respect for animals and obviously no respect of humans at all. I hope something is done about this very soon. These people should pay for what they did.

A friend of mine spent the last few months filming Santeria rituals; none of the footage I saw involved animals in any way and none of the rituals took place in Prospect Park (they were mostly in various cemeteries in Queens), so if this is the work of a Santeria cult it's definitely way outside the city's Santeria mainstream. My God, this shit is brutal!
