[Artemisia] Pets and Genuine Monsters

[Kim Rule]

I agree.  There are kooks out there who do really stupid things.  My 4 black
cats and two dogs stay locked in the house at night, staying safe.

This is my annual reminder to keep your pets under close watch for the rest
of the week.



Every October there seems to be at least one story in the Salt Lake media
about some poor animal found mutilated to death as part of some "ritual
sacrifice" to Halloween. Initial reports usually

speculate on the involvement of pagans/wiccans/goths; months later, when an
arrest is made--if an arrest is ever made--the sadists turn out to be
drunken teens and adults looking for cheap thrills.



Whether you believe this ugliness occurs in your neighborhood or not--for
the sake of the animals you love, play it safe.



Keep your dogs and cats indoors, especially at night, until November 2 at
least. Black cats are particularly vulnerable; several Utah shelters will
not allow black cats to be adopted until well past the holiday. Pure white
animals are at risk as well, especially if they're small enough to be
carried off: guinea pigs, rabbits, puppies. Even farm chickens and petting
zoo goats have been known to

disappear. Don't let Fluffy be taken to grade school for show-n-tell just
yet.



Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Until their mangled bodies are found...



Little costumed strangers trekking up to the porch light for treats means
bigger strangers feel free to pull tricks. Most of them are harmless. 
Most.



Don't let your pet become a victim.
