County Says Ritual Sites Not Uncommon, May Be Linked to Santeria
Union County spokesperson Sebastian D'Elia spoke with Patch
regarding Tuesday's findings.

May 13, 2011 4:42 pm ET
Tuesday's near the former Hungarian Club off of Old Raritan Road
in Clark may have surprised residents, but it's nothing the
county hasn't seen before, Union County spokesperson Sebastian
D'Elia told Patch.
"Occasionally, we find these kind of animal ritual things in our
park systems," said D'Elia. "It's certainly not a regular
occurrence but it does happen from time to time. We have a large
parks system and we do have residents who do this stuff,
possibly Santeria, especially in the more urban areas of the
county. To see this in Clark is a little unusual."
Santeria is an African-Caribbean religion that does employ
animal sacrifice as a form of devotion. There have been other
incidents regarding animal sacrifice and Santeria in New Jersey,
including in March when a Freehold man was charged with animal
cruelty after the remains of several animals were found in his
yard.
D'Elia confirmed that the site in Clark did contain a deer
skull, deer bones and a mouse skull. The Union County Parks
Department removed the animal remains and stick structure on
Tuesday afternoon.
D'Elia also stated that the county does patrol the property and
that there is a maintenance person who works almost daily in the
area where this site was found. "This couldn't have been there
very long," said D'Elia. "He would have seen it."

Published: March 15, 2013 — 8:48 PM EDT

A Monmouth County, N.J., man is suing law enforcement and animal
protection officials for what he claims is discrimination
against him for sacrificing animals as part of his religion,
Santeria, according to a civil filing this week.
Victor Badillo, 49, of Freehold, claims he was charged with nine
counts of animal cruelty after an official with the Monmouth
County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and
local police violated his rights by searching his property.
Authorities found severe chicken heads, a dead turtle, three
guinea hens and a pet rabbit.
They also defiled his Santeria temple where Badillo, who says he
is a Santero — a Santeria priest — worshipped inside a tool shed
in the backyard, the lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court
said.
"[SPCA police] Chief [Victor] Amato entered the temple without
permission or purification and photographed the Orishas, both
actions that are forbidden in Santeria," the lawsuit claims.
"Amato, who claims to be knowledgeable about Santeria,
intentionally defiled sacred space and objects."
A message left tonight for Amato was not immediately returned.
Badillo's problems began March 17, 2011, the day before Amato is
claimed to have shown up and found the dead birds, dead turtle,
a pet rabbit and three guinea hens. On March 17, a county
sheriff's officer showed up with a warrant to search Badillo's
property for a gun belonging to Badillo's brother, according to
the lawsuit.
The next day, Amato arrived and "let himself in the fenced
backyard without permission or a warrant and began taking
pictures of the dead animals and the Orishas," the suit states.
The dead turtle was unrelated to the practice of Santeria,
according to the suit, and having died in cold weather, the
Badillo family was waiting for the ground to thaw to bury the
pet.
The suit also alleges there was no ordinance in effect in
Freehold Borough at the time that prohibited residents from
keeping poultry; killing their poultry; or setting standards for
disposal of dead poultry.
Badillo is seeking punitive damages and injunctive relief
requiring the Monmouth County SPCA from targeting Santeros,
according to the lawsuit.

Santerian priest who sacrificed chickens gets $40K over cruelty
charges

FREEHOLD — A Monmouth County animal-cruelty law enforcement
group paid $40,000 to a priest who claims his religious right to
sacrifice chickens was violated when he was slapped with cruelty
charges.
The Freehold Santerian priest, Jorge Badillo, filed the lawsuit
in 2013 in U.S. District Court of New Jersey against the
Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
and its chief, Victor Amato.
Both sides eventually settled the lawsuit out of court in 2014.
A copy of the settlement was uncovered this week by John Paff,
an open-government advocate from Somerset County who posts
public records on his blog.
As part of the settlement, the local SPCA agreed to provide its
officers with sensitivity training on the Santeria religion.
Badillo claims to be a santero, a priest in the Afro-Caribbean
Santerian religion— a religion that practices animal sacrifice
but prohibits killings that cause the animal to suffer.

apartment
The lawsuit states Amato was alerted of possible animal cruelty
after police searched the home for a gun that belonged to
Badillo's brother on March 17, 2011, but instead found a dead
chicken lying outside of a locked shed that served as Bardillo’s
temple.
On March 18, 2011, Amato entered the backyard without a warrant
and took photos of two dead birds and one dead chicken that were
"drying for sacrificial use," but did not collect the animals to
determine if they were abused before being sacrificed. According
to the lawsuit, there was no evidence the birds were abused
prior to sacrifice.

Amato, who also had previously arrested two santeros in Spring
Lake in 2008, allegedly said that Badillo "had no right to
practice Santeria in Monmouth County or in New Jersey or
anywhere in the United States." But according to the lawsuit,
there was no law in Freehold in March 2011 that prohibited
residents from sacrificing animals.
On March 19, 2011, Amato issued nine tickets for animal cruelty,
for which he could have faced more than four years in prison and
$9,000 in fines, according to the lawsuit.
That same month, Amato also told the Asbury Park Press about the
summons and the newspaper published a story that included
Badillo's home address, leading to Badillo's cars being
vandalized and his family being threatened, the lawsuit states.
Badillo was also in the process of adopting two children, but
claimed the charges negatively affected his chances of adoption.
The criminal charges were dropped in municipal court when
Badillo plead guilty to one count of neglect of his pet rabbit
and agreed to pay $200.
Badillo took the case to federal court in 2013 on charges that
Amato violated his First Amendment and Fourth Amendment rights.
He agreed to drop the lawsuit after reaching a $40,000
settlement, in which he also agreed to never adopt animals from
SPCA. As part of the agreement, the SPCA agreed to train their
humane officers on the Santeria religion.
In agreeing to settle the cases, the SPCA did not admit to any
wrongdoing. Both sides agreed to not discuss details of the case
or the settlement. The documents of the case, however, remain
public records under state law.
