Voodoo Sacrifice of Black Cats
Back in the 1800s, Voodoo rituals in New Orleans required the sacrifice of a black cat. This would most often be done by skinning the cat. The person in charge would go into the kitchen, and the cat would be brought to him with its feet tied together. A tub of boiling water was placed on the table with candles surrounding it. Prayers and songs would be recited as the cat was spun around and around as it hung upside down. The cats head was then dumped into the boiling water, and died almost immediately. It was then taken out of the water and a man would bite the cat’s throat and skinned it completely with his teeth. Then they ate the flesh and divided the bones because the black cat bones were believed to have great power.

how pathetic, mankind can be so embarrasing, black cats rule.
That is so disgusting and sad it makes me want to cry right now!!! Poor cats!!
thank god nowadays there are laws to punish people who commit such horrible crimes. To injure any innocent animal is definetely a way to attract much more harm than good luck. Specially because there are good people out there ready to denounce such crimes!
Mmmmm tasty cat meat
Believe such stupid things,who told you?(refering to the guy who killed the cat not the new person.) ?If you are the cat and someone scald your no brain-head,bite your stupid throat,skinned it completely with their teeth and ate your rotten flesh and divided your rusty bones just for the powers!
who agree with me?
All I believe is that STOPPED HARMING ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Love Cats. Cats are the most beautiful pet.
That is terrible.
That is so terrible. I love cats and have had at least 2 cats at all times throughout my life. Whoever thinks that this is ok is sick and ill!!
That’s sick. Recently the news actually notified the community to keep your black cat inside, some people have been sacrificing black cats on Halloween.
Yes it is awful, there are some horrible people in the world. the most horrible thing is that this sort of thing still go’s on, millions of cats are skinned alive every year for the fur on there back in the name of fashion, if you do not believe me research it on the internet or go to the PETA website, the PETA organisation work to try and stop such cruelty. everyone should say no to fur, there is just no justification in this day an age for anyone wearing fur. also other animals suffer the same death such as dogs, rabbits, foxes, racoons and minks to name a few. i just do not understand how anyone could be so cruel to poor defenceless animal. yet money talks and if there was no custom there would be no killing, so urge everyone you know to say no to real fur you could be saving many animals by doing so.
