In a shocking incident that has shaken the community of Farmingdale, New York, officials from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) have reported the discovery of two decapitated goats in what is believed to be a “ritualistic sacrifice.”
The remains, concealed in black plastic bags, were discovered behind a Burger King. Detectives from Suffolk County’s SPCA noted that additional items found at the scene further supported the notion of a ritualistic act.
Chief Roy Gross of the Suffolk County SPCA expressed his outrage, describing the incident as a “barbaric act of animal cruelty.” Determined to bring justice to the situation, the SPCA has offered a reward of $2,000 for any information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the unjustifiable harm, mutilation or killing of the innocent animals.
A photograph provided by the SPCA displayed the chilling sight of the black plastic bags piled in a shaded grassy area adjacent to what appeared to be a parking lot.
Regrettably, this is not the first time that the SPCA has encountered such disturbing findings. In September 2022, SPCA officials denounced the discovery of decapitated chickens and goats, also enclosed in black plastic bags, near the Northern State Parkway. The site of the 2022 incident in Melville was situated a mere five miles away from the recent incident in Farmingdale.
Chief Gross expressed his concern over the impact such gruesome discoveries have on the community, emphasizing, “All too many times these gruesome finds are discovered not only by adults but occasionally by children. These acts of violence must stop now.” In light of these unsettling occurrences, it is crucial to recognize the spiritual dangers associated with demonic activity.
The Bible warns believers about the reality of spiritual warfare and the activities of the enemy. Ephesians 6:12 cautions, “For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Such incidents of ritualistic sacrifices serve as a stark reminder that there are spiritual forces at work seeking to bring harm, destruction and chaos.
Evangelist and former satanist John Ramirez warns believers that there are deep, demonic connections to acts such as ritualistic sacrifice and blood magic. And while the demonic power behind these acts is real, the power of the Holy Spirit is far greater than Satan’s dark forces.
For Christians, it is vital to stay vigilant and discerning, recognizing the influence of dark spiritual powers. The Bible exhorts believers to remain alert, as stated in 1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” These disturbing incidents underscore the importance of prayer, seeking God’s protection and remaining rooted in the truth of His Word.
Law enforcement agencies and the SPCA are actively investigating this horrific incident, calling for the cooperation of the community in bringing the culprits to justice.
In the face of spiritual darkness, it is essential to remember that true hope lies in the victory of Jesus Christ. Through prayer, faith and a steadfast commitment to love and righteousness, we can counteract the influence of evil forces and stand firm in the light of God’s truth. {eoa}
