Brooklyn, NY – Fifteen calf tongues were found nailed to trees in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park recently.

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.
maybe they ran out of pickling spices???
Did it have a hechsher?
I don’t like tongue in a sandwich, and I certainly don’t like it hanging from a tree.
What a shame…. I love tongue.
What a stupid waste. Prepared properly tongue is delicious.
Dated Til the Cows Come Home
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.
Where is PETA???
Oh, almost forgot, they’re busy in Iowa to conquer shechita..
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.
by writing over here u like tounge is a waste of tim why dont u go out and buy yourself some tounge
Alla huakbar.
It sounds like a message from the mafia to someone…if you talk, you’ll get your tongue cut out…
I sometimes get queesy from the bumps also when I think about it that this tounge was once in someone elses mouth
I guess it was hung for a art project like they hung the orange sheets
Sounds like the work of PETA, who are liable for anything after killing 21,339 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens in Norfolk, Virginia.
This is a warning against speaking loshon horoh.
Mamash a shood I usually make tongue for sukkos and its so expensive this is the jews fault
They should check with the Bobov students in Monsey and see if any of them lost their tongues.
Clearly they are not kosher tongues- at $25 a poind, who could afford to do this!
Has anyone seen my tongue??
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.
What bal tashchis! The world lost several dozen good deli sandwiches mit pickles und ah diet Dr. Brown’s black cherry soda. And for those of you who dislike tongue, how do you feel about p’tcha?
is this the latest machsom l’fi campaign
you sould first cut down th e tree then cook the tongue.
If the cow’s dont have tongues I guess its a “dumb cow”
This is related to Haitian voodoo
the cows were speachless
Its a message from g-d don’t be like CW’s tongue,its symbolizing the 15 jewish families suffering bec. Of his merciless tongue.
wasnt it one of those art things like the orange sheets in central park?
