NYC officials are becoming concerned about black magic in the Big Apple, as more and more mutilated livestock are being placed in public spaces when no one’s around.
Over the past year and a half, dozens of body parts of cows, goats, pigs and fowl have been discovered “pinned” to trees or splayed on the ground in a manner that bespeaks of ritualistic slayings.
Witchcraft and satanic worship are not illegal, of course, but cruelty to animals is. And when the heads of calves and chickens are left in playgrounds, parks and public beaches, it’s more than a little alarming.
In fact, some locations have been hit up more than once. Such as Prospect Park in the borough of Brooklyn where numerous animal victims have been deposited, allegedly by voodoo practitioners casting dark spells.
There, horrified passersby have reported finding murdered ducks, decapitated pigeons, and the heads of goats -- all on different occasions.
“The bodies are forming a ring and the heads are very close to this ring,” a shocked park visitor told investigators last summer, after coming across the dismembered and carefully-composed carcasses of doves arranged in a circle around a statue.
Whatever’s going on in New York City to make it suddenly appeal to those who perform the old art of black magic, “none of this is by chance,” says anthropology professor Jafari Allen of Yale.
“There may be symbolism in particular statues or a particular tree or a particular place.”
