PARK SLOPE — A severed goat head was discovered in Prospect Park on Monday, park officials confirmed.
The animal body part was found Monday when David Rabig was strolling in a wooded area about 9 a.m. with his girlfriend’s Boston Terrier, Leo.
The dog chased a squirrel up a tree near the Lincoln Road entrance and then sniffed out the head, which was laying under a dusting of snow with the number “93″ printed on a tag in its ear.
“At first I thought it was a frozen squirrel or kitten, then I saw the tag and horns and realized what it was,” Rabig said via email. “I would describe my reaction as unsettled.”
He added that there were no footprints around the head, which was first reported byGothamist, so he assumed it was placed there sometime before the snowfall Sunday night.
