- New York, USA -


The Suffolk County SPCA said in a news release that on Sunday, September 11, 2022, they received a call from Suffolk County Police Department, 2nd Precinct about dead animals who had been found in black plastic garbage bags on the side of Round Swamp Road approximately 100 feet south of Exit 39 of the Northern State Parkway.


SPCA Detectives responded to the scene and discovered the “partially decomposed remains of 5 decapitated chickens and 2 decapitated goats”, stated the release.

The Suffolk County SPCA said that fruits and vegetables were also found on site.


The Suffolk County SPCA said that over the years, they have investigated many cases of animal sacrifice and Chief Roy Gross of the Suffolk County SPCA told Long Island News 12 that chickens and goats are common use in these types of sacrifices.


A combined reward of $3,000 is being offered in exchange for information leading to the criminal conviction of those responsible for this inexcusable, unjustifiable, and unwarranted barbaric act.


If you have any information regarding this case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA at (631) - 382 - 7722. Thank you!
