Halloween fear is upon us and with it, for animals with black coats, which, as has unfortunately been the case for centuries, are victims of stupid superstitions and ancient unfounded beliefs.
Black cat adoptions suspended throughout the month of October and November. The news was communicated by Anna Ubbiali, a well-known animal rights activist from the Bergamo municipality of Urgnanowith a post on his Facebook page I Gatti di Anna – Bergamo – Volunteer Organization.
No black cat adoptions in October and November
Ubbiali fears that, with the arrival of the Halloween party on October 31st, gods can be made “satanic sacrifices” using blackomantated felines. As has been the case since the Middle Ages and continues to happen today, he explains
It seems absurd but according to her the danger would be real: the last episode, in fact, would have occurred in the municipality of Spirano.
In this regard, the association Anna’s cats present in the area for over twenty years, it had to choose to do not give up for adoption any black cat in the period of Halloween.
On the official Facebook page of the institution, Anna wrote the following message:
“We will not publish adoptions and there will be no adoptions of black cats for the entire month of October and mid-November.”
The explanations of Anna Ubbiali
During the Anglo-Saxon recurrence that is celebrated between October 31 and November 1, nowadays it still happens that satanic rites are celebrated, based on the sacrifice of animals, especially black cats.
«With the arrival of Halloween – explains Ubbiali on primatreviglio.it – requests for adoption of felines are increasing. Not all types though, There is a certain interest in black cats ».
Anna also added that this stop of adoptions will also be replicated at each solstice and the provision will not only concern black cats, but will also be extended to white cats.
“Unfortunately we are forced to act of this kind because people are now behaving in an absurd way. It seems to be in the Middle Ages and instead what I am talking about is actuality, which happens undisturbed in front of our eyes », Ubbiali concludes.
The words of Filippo Maturi
Also the former parliamentarian, an activist for the environment and animals Filippo Maturi he wanted to express his opinion on the topic “black cats and Halloween” on his Facebook account:
«BLACK CATS, ATTENTION! This is a very special time of the year for black cats, you need to be vigilant. Unfortunately in this period there are several freaks who are looking for black cats to carry out atrocious obscenities in view of Halloween on these poor innocents ».
And he goes on to suggest some tips to protect cats with dark coats at this time of year:
- Prevent black domestic cats from leaving the house, as they could be kidnapped by malicious people.
- Be extremely vigilant about the type of adoptions that are being made.
