Budapest’s black cats get Halloween protection

For a Hungarian animal shelter, Halloween is less about pumpkins, witches and ghosts, but keeping black cats out of the hands of Satanists.

“Unfortunately cats here are prized by Satanists who want to use them in seances and sacrifical rituals around Halloween,” Kinga Schneider, head of the Noah’s Ark Foundation in Budapest, told AFP.
