in World News Animal sacrifices on the rise in Queens with chickens, pigs being tortured in ‘twisted’ rituals
In an exclusive report, The New York Post has reported a surge of animal sacrifices have been taking place in Queens, New York.
In the last month, chickens, rats, dogs, and pigs’ mutilated body parts have been discovered in Spring Creek Park in Howard Beach and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens.
Several rescuers reported finding live pigs with severed ears, a dead dog with its neck snapped, a hen in distress, a decapitated chicken head, and a baby rat tied up in a bag.
Local religious leaders believe the animal sacrifices stem from a sect of Hindu devotees who worship the goddess Kali.
Acharya Arun Gossai, who oversees the Bhuvaneshwar Mandir temple in Queens, stated that the Hindu devotees are “misconstruing what the scriptures say about conquering the animalistic values.”
