On April 17, 2023, a goat was allegedly sacrificed in a trendy office in Hackney, London, as part of a black magic ritual. CCTV footage shows a live goat being brought into the building, but it was never seen leaving. Following the incident, videos surfaced on social media depicting the goat being held and later appearing motionless, with a man chanting over it. The office houses various tenants, including the political group Led By Donkeys. The individual involved has a documented history of similar rituals, including public displays of animal sacrifices. This practice is linked to Quimbanda, an Afro-Brazilian religion known for its intense rituals and animal sacrifices. While such practices are constitutionally protected in Brazil, they raise significant legal and ethical questions in the UK, where animal welfare laws strictly regulate slaughter and prohibit unlicensed killings. The incident has sparked outrage and concern regarding animal rights and the legality of such rituals in urban settings.
