It is a FACT that wannabe/real ‘satanists’ sacrifice dogs at Halloween and other pagan “holy days”.
A friend who I met through my own little Dobe Rescue worked at a PA shelter and she had the unpleasant task of going to the known gathering spots and cleaning up the “messes”.
All black dogs, especially “German breeds” are at highest risk and the local shelters simply will not adopt them out in the weeks leading up to Halloween.
Black cats, too.
It always grieves me when “lost black dog” flyers start going up in October.
They’re rarely found.
When I was a kid, I found the remains of a skinned, tortured dog along a back road near my house when I was riding my bike.
I don’t think I’ll ever get that image out of my brain.
The woman down the road from me always “lost dogs to hunters” in October...so she’d go to the shelter and adopt another black dog...every year.
One day she ‘admired’ my Dobermans.
I put a padlock on their kennel whenever I was not there to watch over them, from then on.
Okay, the woman who admired your dog....that is hairy.
I’ve always heard black cats are at risk on Halloween, but I didn’t know about the dogs. I don’t think I would ever get over your experience at the side of the road. It would haunt me.
Poor, innocent little animals just taken and used for sick pleasure by evil bastards.
