TORONTO – A lot of questions are going unanswered in California after severed animal heads were found in a string of recent discoveries at three local parks.
According to NBC affiliate KCRA, it all started when a dead goat was found inside a cardboard box at Reichmuth Park in Sacramento in early January.
“Someone did this on purpose. We don’t know if it was cruel or not,” Zann Gates, who made one of the discoveries, told NBC in January. “And then the packages are left there for other people to find.”
Since then, a bag of headless chickens, a dead tortoise and a mutilated cow were found. But it didn’t stop there. Just this week what appeared to be a baby lamb was found with its decapitated head placed on top of its body.
“This is wrong on so many levels and it’s disturbing,” Animal Care and Control’s Gina Knepp said.
Local residents are being urged to provide any information to animal control, or the Sacramento Police Department, that could help investigators get to the bottom of this strange phenomenon.
“It could very well be religious, but it’s not an excuse and it’s not appropriate,” Knepp added.
