Black Cat ban on adoptions in question
A black cat will not cross your path this Halloween, not if an animal northern Idaho protection of space, it can help. Like many shelters across the country, the Kootenai Humane Society in Coeur d’Alene is prohibiting the adoption of black cats from now on November 2, fearing the animals could be mistreated in Halloween shots _ or even worse In some satanic ritual sacrifice.The protection, the executive director, Phil Morgan, said while the danger is remote, the policy is still only for the event.
It’s an urban legend Art. But in industries humanities, it is quite typical that the cantons are not the adoption of black cats or white rabbit, because all animals victims Satanic thing, “said Morgan.” If we prevent him a wounded animal, then it serves its purpose. ”
Some animals, but experts say the practice even more harm than protect animals.
“Black Cats already suffer a stigma because of their colour,” said Gail Buchwald, vice president of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals shelter in New York City. “Why not punish by restricting more time, if it can be?”
Idaho Humane Society Dee Fugit spokesman said that at the resumption of temporary bans are used more frequently, several years working in Idaho has demonstrated that its there is no need for such measures.
“If someone comes here and they pretty strange that we ask why they adopt a black cat on Halloween, we are unlikely to adopt all the animals to them:” Boise Fugit said from his office. “It does not seem to justify a reason for not adopting black cats. We are completely inundated with cats, houses at the moment.”
The black cats tend to adopt less than other cats, Buchwald said. A study published in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science 2002 compared coat color in shelter animals, black or dark brown that cats were much less likely that white, gray or colors mixed cats , Said Buchwald.
“Ally Behavior, there is no difference, the color of a cat. It is linked to this whole mythology about the animal _ not let that cross your path or a prediction or anticipation of _ and evil which is obsolete, but a belief “, says she.
It is unclear exactly like many shelters or seasonal ban black cat adoptions, said Kim Intino, director of the problems of housing animals at the Humane Society of the United States, but it is a trend that seems to fade with _ once common on the ban on adoptions hare Easter or puppy that the adoption of Christmas.
