Prospect Park Ogre Relocation Project Pronounced a Success

Prospect Park Ogre Relocation Project Pronounced a Success

The Prospect Park Alliance has announced that the summer’s ogre relocation project was a huge success.

“The Ogre Chair,” a cleverly constructed trap consisting of a welcoming ogre-sized seat and collapsing cage walls, caught three of the hill ogres that had been harassing park visitors near the LeFrak Center Recreational Area at the Lakeside. The ogres, two males and a female, were then released on the western slopes of Lookout Hill, a much less visited part of the park.

“Ogres are fiercely territorial,” explained Prospect Park Vice-Director of Mythozoology Samantha Flumenthal, “They’ll immediately consider Lookout Hill to be their new home. We expect they’ll be very happy there.”

Visitors are reminded not to sit in the Ogre Chair trap themselves.
