and federal park authorities are ramping up enforcement after a disturbing rise in animal sacrifices near Jamaica Bay in Queens. A recent report by the New York Post detailed an increase in ritualistic killings of animals, including chickens, pigs, and rats, believed to be part of religious ceremonies in the area.
Following these reports, the National Park Service (NPS) announced plans to install mobile lights by the Addabbo Bridge in Spring Creek Park to deter nighttime animal torture and killings. An NPS spokesperson also confirmed that additional police patrols will be deployed in the area to prevent further incidents.
