I appreciated the fact that they did not mention 'Satanist' but instead used the term Pseudo-Satanist in this article, then I read the term 'Satanist'.

Amazing.

The point is, keep your friends safe.

This is the first article I have read that used the term Pseudo-Satanism. I wonder if that will make some of the readers scratch their heads?

I brought my black cat, and very close friend Azrael, in last year and will do the same again this year. You never know if someone would try to steal your pet, or do them harm.

Have a great Halloween!

HS!

I smell bullshit all over this. I have never once heard of a cat captured on Halloween to be slaughtered in some ridiculous ritual. Until I see proof that this happens, I'm putting this in the same category as SRA - unproven, unfounded horseshit.

Use of the term pseudo-Satanist or not, this ain't good press for us. It's yet another suggestion that those evil devil-men are after your cat.

I feel the same!
I made a similar post last year - Misinformed Media.

I know that the pet stores here in My area will NOT sell a cat during the Halloween season. I know that much.

I also know there happen to be nutjobs everywhere including those who think killing some creature for it's blood will bring them power. Why give them extra incentive by leaving your animals outside during their 'spooky I'm cool time'?

More children are out during Halloween (many unsupervised) and kids can be CRUEL.

Ask My dogs with the air pellets still lodged in their bodies.

This was a post to simply watch your pets maybe a bit more closely during this Holiday season. (AND....always).

I never said this was 'good publicity' I said, "Then I read the term Satanist" (which was upsetting of course) which is why I said 'amazing'.

Again, the point was, to keep an eye out.

Fin.

I also know there happen to be nutjobs everywhere including those who think killing some creature for it's blood will bring them power.

But where? Why aren't there legitimate crime reports of this kind of thing?

I remember last year the media talked about this subject. I haven't heard of any actual incidents either, but, don't underestimate the influence drugs have on alot of teens. Don't be paranoid, but be cautious. Everyone here knows Satanism is nothing about sacrificing animals, or virgin women to Satan but you all know how many stupid and ignorrant people there are in the world. Add Halloween, drugs, and alcohol to the scenario and ask yourself how safe your black cat, or any other pet would be if left outside during this particular holiday.

Most kids smash pumpkins or at worst throw eggs, toilet paper, or other mischief. Slaughtering animals is usually not on the teenage to-do list.

Also, who the hell leaves their animals freerange wandering where locals can just come and take them? Those animals tend to wind up ran over or stolen.

You could always have your pets join in the festivities.

I had a very hard time buying my black cat Boo (who actually looks a lot like the one in the picture) in September six years ago. She always stays indoors and we are always careful when we go in or out to make sure she doesn't get by us.

For cats in general I would recommend leaving their claws in tact. Some people say that the back ones are all that are necessary, however I have left all of Boo's claws in tact. With patience and proper training they will not damage your furniture. My reason for not removing her claws is so that if, Satan forbid, she would ever get out she could hunt and fend for herself sufficiently. She knows to give fair warning if she feels she is being annoyed, however she doesn't hesitate to let loose when she's had enough. She is a 20-25lb cat so my only wish would be if she found herself in a dangerous situation that she wouldn't hesitate to put her weight behind her muscle. Clawing a tormentors eyes out in this case would be to nice.

Thanks for a good post!
Hail Satan!!

True. But. You never know what a teenager on acid, who wants to be a Satanist but knows nothing about Satanism will do to the pet he has just stolen.

I see ALOT of cat owners that let thier pets roam free 24/7 and leave a dish outside in case it gets hungry.

I think the very real risk of a cat being hit by a car makes the 'risk' of being killed by a teenager on acid negligible.

I think not selling black cats on Halloween might be a good idea as people may buy a black cat as a prop or novelty and then find they do not really want a cat the following day, similar to the puppies on Christmas phenomenon.

I think this sounds like alarmism.

Where do drugged up teens run around stealing cats? Most drugged up teens I've seen were too busy watching Fantasia and listening to Pink Floyd to give a shit about your cat.

That is true what Priest LeviathanXIII has stated, but i would'nt be surprised at 'rebelist' teen's, and what they want to get 'kick's' out of'..



But how come it is "unclassifiable veracity"..



Exactly.

::chuckles:

Well. Priest Leviathan. You definately win this argument with that statement

Apparently it mainly happens in Italy.

>> But where? Why aren't there legitimate crime reports of this kind of thing? <<

There are.

Animals are suffering cruelty all the time.

The problem is that they sensationalise it by atrributing it to some kind of ritual abuse.

There are knife attacks on horses in fields (at least here) and all manner of other animal mutilations happening all too frequently.

There was a cat in my local paper just a couple of days ago that had its eyes stabbed out.

There are some twisted kids about who are influenced by far more by violent video games, gory films and theatrical heavy metal acts than they are by Satanism.

An excuse like Halloween is all these idiots need.

It doesn't matter that they are not Satanists. What is most important is that we guard our animals from these morons.

They are referring to the (legends they are quoting) given that they are not historical accounts.

It is rated as LEGEND and they do offer the facts behind why it is rated as such.

I would guess that the black cat mentioned named Isaiah was more likely to have been hit by a car when he disappeared - after all, a black cat at night isn't very visible.

I'd be more worried about an outside cat being harmed by errant fireworks or something like that, though I wouldn't be surprised to learn of stupid drunk teens harming a cat.

I don't think the article is using Pseudo-Satanism in the way that genuine Satanists use it. The fact that it mentions "Satanist" later on in the article in conjunction with talk of animal abuse suggests that the initial mention of Pseudo-Satanism was just referring to naive little children that are drawn to the occult. They're clearly not the same thing as "those big bad genuine Satanists who really do abuse animals", hence the pseudo prefix.

Danish papers report two cases of cruelty to cats today. One had two teenage kids cutting the ears off a kitten and another case two weeks ago had other teens kicking a kitten against a wall like a soccer ball.

No mention of drugs or pseudo-satanism though, just basic stupidity and cruelty.

This bitch in the school girl uniform is kind of hot.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the UK there are a number of pets go missing during the Halloween week because it is in the same period as bonfire night. It is not specifically related to Halloween. There are known to be groups of people/individuals, mainly teenagers, who do nasty things to cats (and animals in general) with fireworks for their own amusement. It is probably a good idea here in the UK to pretty well keep cats in for the two week period surrounding these dates, possibly longer.

It really annoys me that shops sell fireworks so early before November 5th as we have to be annoyed with them being let off right from mid-October through to the end of November. If you have pets this can be a frightening time. Most of these little corner shops will happily sell fireworks to minors.
