What's with all the animal sacrifices in Jamaica Bay?
Talked to a few different people. The consensus is that you're walking down a trail to a point or sandy beach somewhere, and you come upon a bunch of dead animals scattered around in a ritual fashion.
The last guy I talked to was walking to his favorite plugging spot and found 6 white doves in a circle with the heads cut off. :eek:
Anyone have any thoughts on this? :huh:

Hindu religious practices in Jamaica bay
I talked to a Guyanese guy and his family. They said there are different groups that go there for religious ceremonies. According to him, the Hindu people are the ones with the strange signs in the sand, the flowers and fruit on the water, the buddhist statues, and the paper boats they sail out into the water as religious offerings.
Sand signs, he said something about they make these signs for good luck.

Moslem religious ceremonies in Jamaica Bay
Here's where things get a little confusing. I said to him, if the Hindu people are responsible for all this, what are you guys (Guyanese Moslems) into out here? He said: "We do offerings"
Me: "Ya mean like animals and stuff?"
Him: "Yes"
Me: " So you guys are the ones cutting their heads off the doves and leaving them there?" :eek:
Him:....at that point he got nervous and clammed up, and didn't want to speak about it anymore except he generically described them as offerings with animals.
So I tried to understand, but it seems I'm still in the Dark, about Voodoo Beach! ;)
