Two slaughtered chickens were discovered on an Upper West Side median, leading to fears they were killed as part of an animal sacrifice ritual. Activists like John Di Leonardo flagged the incident, noting illegal practices related to live poultry markets nearby. Edita Birnkrant emphasized the deliberate placement of the birds, which appeared healthier than typical market specimens. Last year, a similar case occurred in the vicinity, hinting at a pattern that raises serious ethical and legal concerns about animal treatment in the area.
"[It] appears to be animal sacrifice to me," John Di Leonardo, executive director of Humane Long Island, told The Post.
Edita Birnkrant, of animal advocacy group NYCLASS, said "it clearly was done purposely and placed in a visible spot. They look healthier than the birds usually look at live markets."
