Black Cats Go Into Hiding on Halloween Night |
As
children go out into the dark night wearing colorful costumes and carrying
their buckets filled with candy, there is danger out there for animals,
especially for black cats. There are some people who perform satanic
rituals on cats and drain them of blood, behead or disembowel them. This
can occur at any time of the year, but this activity increases during
Halloween time. Cats are more vulnerable around this time of year because
of all the tales about them, especially black ones.
Cats have become a symbol of
Halloween, which can be traced back to the middle ages where they were
believed to be companions to witches. Halloween began about 2,500 years
ago where the Druid priesthood held the power and ruled by terror. The day
that most worshippers feared was October 31, the festival of death, which
was established to honor the lord of death, Saman. On that night Saman was
supposed to send dead souls to the homes of the living and in order to
protect themselves, they would offer food, animals, and humans as
sacrifices. Now, some followers perform this ritual on Halloween.
These satanic sacrifices have
become such a problem that many adoption agencies around the United States
have halted the adoption of solid black and white cats. From the middle of
October to the beginning of November, many adoption agencies wont adopt
out black, white, or even combination cats in fear that the might be used
for sacrifices. There is also one shelter that bans adopting out solid
colored cats through November 8 because there are sacrificial ritual dates
listed on satanic calendars. Junior, Lucy Palatian said, “I think
that it’s harsh that people have to stop adopting out cats around this
time of year. People need to know that their animals are safe and this
should not happen.”
There was even one incident in
which a man called an animal shelter and asked them for a black cat for a
sacrificial ceremony. Most adoption agencies are cautious all year about
who they send their solid colored cats home with, but around this time of
year, they feel that the cats are much more vulnerable. There was also an
incident where a black cat and a gray cat was stolen from an adoption
center a few days before Halloween. Hopefully nothing terrible happened to
it, but its impossible to know who stole them and for what purposes.
Though many people may think
that witches and occults are the only ones who perform satanic rituals on
animals, this can be wrong in some cases. In fact, some of these rituals
are performed by wannabe witches because a real witch would not do this
considering that in the Middle Ages a black cat was known to be a
companion to a witch, not an enemy. Also, animal sacrifice is not a normal
part of the Church of Satan, unlike what is believed. Many people believe
that the killings of cats are performed by Halloween pranksters and some
occults.
