Spain – In a move that has sparked both controversy and astonishment, a small Spanish town has declared a state of emergency regarding black cats as Halloween approaches. This unusual step aims to protect the animals from superstitious rituals and mysterious practices that increase during this period.
Local authorities explained that the decision came after several black cats went missing during Halloween celebrations. Some people mistakenly believe these animals bring bad luck or are used in witchcraft rituals, making them vulnerable to exploitation or harm.
According to local media reports, the town has decided to suspend all adoptions of black cats for the week leading up to Halloween. Awareness campaigns to protect animals will also be intensified, emphasizing that superstitions have no place in modern society.
Animal welfare organizations indicate that this phenomenon recurs annually in several European and American countries. Concerns are growing for the safety of black cats during this mysterious occasion.
