Some residents of Athens, Ga., say they’re scared after three headless goats and a decapitated chicken and rooster were found on a footpath near a local elementary school.

The dead animals were found between Howard Stroud Elementary School and a popular basketball court where children play, according to an Athens Clarke County police report obtained by CBS News.

There was no blood on the path, leading police to believe the animals were probably dropped there, Athens Patch.com reported.

Police said they can’t comment on the incident since it’s still being investigated.

Parents are afraid to let their children play outside alone, and residents are scared about what the animal killings might mean.

"I think that is, for one thing, disgusting," conceed parent Benekia Bradley told CBS News. "And for the kids to have to go there and see something like that - it's not right."
