    The bizarre sighting was made in Peninsula Meadow, just north of Prospect Lake.

    The tongues, which appeared to come from a butcher shop, were hanging about six feet off the ground from 15 different trunks, park officials said.

    Parks Department officials said it’s a mystery why the animal parts were hung, but animal tongues are sometimes used in cult or fringe religious rituals.

    I don’t like tongue in a sandwich, and I certainly don’t like it hanging from a tree.

    This was probably organized by PETA to protest Shechita.
    It is intended to teach us to do teshuva for lashon hara, ona’as devorim, and mesira.
    We should improve our ways by prospectively learning how to park better, and cleaning out our trunks.

    Seriously Speaking, I am delighted that there are crazier people in the world, than the ones that I associate with! May our tables be laden with abundance during the upcoming yomim tovim as we thank Hashem for the good He does for us, despite our human failings.

    This isn’t funny. These “cult or fringe religious rituals” are witchcraft, voodoo, satanism and the practitioners can be dangerous. This really does happen in American in 2009. There’s a reason the Torah warns us against it and the Torah doesn’t write silliness. This is real and chas v’challila, it works.

    Sounds like the work of PETA, who are liable for anything after killing 21,339 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens in Norfolk, Virginia.

    They should check with the Bobov students in Monsey and see if any of them lost their tongues.

    I would like to suggest that we all send peta yemach sh’mom v\zichrom emails and faxes about this. Ask them why they seem not to be bothered here but for sh’chita they are unfortunately alive and kicking.
