Numerous studies claim that black cats and dogs they are abandoned and killed because their owners, besides being superstitious, do not accept the color of their fur.
But that is not all. In this article, we will explain in detail why some people do not want to adopt dark-haired animals.
Black dogs and cats: the reasons for waste
There are myths and superstitions that show that black animals are not well received by humans, to the point of being the most abandoned.
The reason is none other than the color. The stigma of the black breed is extrapolated, in this case, to the animal world as there is considerable discrimination against black dogs and cats as there are many owners (or potential owners) who believe that the dark color is not a good idea.
So, as we have explained to you the reasons that lead people to define dog breeds as aggressive and dangerous, we want to highlight the problems why black cats and dogs are rejected without mercy or reason.
The sad reputation of black cats …
How many times have you heard that black cats bring bad luck? Honestly many, even if we at Todocat want to dispel this unfounded and useless myth, considering the relationship between the dark color of cats and witches to be archaic.
At no time in history has science confirmed that cats with raven coats bring bad luck, indeed: a cat, whatever the color, can only fill our life with tenderness and love.
… and raven-coated dogs
The same thing happens with black dogs. The myth of the terrible feline reputation has crossed the boundaries of the animal world, regardless of their size or breed.
More and more people refuse to welcome adorable little dogs into their family for the sole reason of being black and therefore of being “the bearers of bad luck”.
It doesn’t matter what color your pet is because, as we repeat in this and other articles, adopting a dog or cat will change your life forever!
Long live the black mantle!
This should be the motto of all kennels and shelters of our time.
Black dogs and cats: final thoughts
In light of all that has been said, we need to pay much more attention to our surroundings and leave appearances on the same side as superstitions.
Black dogs and cats are the most adorable you will find, the most loving and intelligent, the most cuddly and the most beautiful as no one can forget that black is an elegant color that goes with everything without a doubt!
