SPCA Seeking Info After 3 Beheaded Roosters Found in Centereach

The Suffolk County SPCA is seeking the public’s help to find who is responsible for beheading three roosters and leaving them in a garbage bag on a Centereach road.

The gruesome find was made at about 4 p.m. Tuesday at the corner of Henry Road and Edward Street, SPCA officials said. The beheaded roosters were inside a white garbage bag. Suffolk Police alerted the SPCA of the incident.

SPCA Chief Roy Gross said Wednesday that it is “too early in the investigation to rule out a religious or cult ceremony.”

Anyone with information can contact the Suffolk County SPCA at 631-382-7722. All calls will be kept confidential.
