They shoot horses don't they? -
04-03-2012, 09:39 PM
I was wondering whether it's legal to microwave a cat in Quebec? The French have historically been avid cat torturers and Morses Line is just up the road. I moved recently and I no longer have a problem with mice in my new apartment. The damned cat thinks I should feed him and clean his litter box but he's no longer earning his keep!
Crowds made bonfires, jumped over them, danced around them, and threw into them objects with magical power, hoping to avoid diseaster and obtain good fortune during the rest of the year. A favorite object was cats - cats tied up in bags, cats suspended from ropes, or cats burned at stake. Parisians liked to incinerate cats by the sackful, while the Courimauds (or "cour ŕ miaud" or cat chasers) of Saint Chamond preferred to chase a flaming cat through the streets. In parts of Burgundy and Lorraine they danced around a kind of burning May pole with a cat tied to it. In the Metz region they burned a dozen cats at a time in a basket on top of a bonfire.

We all know that God sent the Bubonic Plague (Black Death) that decimated the population of Europe by half as a punishment for the false religion of the cathylicks and the pope. Curiously, some researchers blame the killing of cats (which were outlawed by the cathylicks) as one source of the widespread plague. This only goes to show the ways in which Jesus works.
While this doesn't directly answer your question regarding the microwaving of cats in Quebec, it does place it in historical perspective – particularly considering that the French are known papists.
Quote:
…
Interestingly, the fate of mankind was curiously linked to that of the common house cat. When the cat populations rose, the pandemic ebbed, and when the cat population plummeted, the black plague made a resurgence. Why?
Remember that the plague was spread by fleas that lived on rats. A viscious cycle kept the disease going. Infected fleas would bite a rat, and the rodent would become infected. Then other fleas biting the infected rat would become infected themselves. Once the host rat died of the plague, any fleas living on it would find themselves homeless and would go in search of a new host. Unfortunately, this often took the form of a human. When the sick infected fleas bit the human in order to feed, the human would become infected. So why didn’t the Europeans just keep plenty of cats around to kill the rats and thereby reduce the incidence of the plague? They had cats at the time. They were originally brought to Europe by the Romans, who had discovered the felines in Egypt. Keeping pet cats as mousers had become popular in Europe by the time of the first plague.
To fully answer that question, you need to understand the belief system of medieval Europe. Based on historical accounts and medieval art, people during this period were prone to many superstitions. The Catholic Church was the most powerful entity in Europe at the time, and the masses were consumed with the presence of evil and eradicating it in any form it might be believed to take. Because of their secretive nature and their ability to survive extraordinary circumstances, the general population came to fear cats as consorts of Satan. The innocent cats began to be killed by the thousands.
The cats ultimately got their revenge, of course. Since there were few felines left, the rat populations increased unchecked, and the plague grew even more widespread. You’d think that the humans would make the connection by this point, but instead, they made things even worse. They began to associate the plague’s new vigor with the cats and even with dogs. They believed that since both of these animals typically harbored fleas, they must be the cause of the plague. Subsequently, cats were outlawed in many parts of Europe, and huge numbers of cats and dogs were killed. In fact, at one point in the middle ages, there were barely any cats left in England at all

It's always the Catholic countries that abuse animals. And not Mitt Romney style animal abuse, I mean full-on hardcore kitten stomping. The Spanish ride horses into bonfires to honour the Catholic saint of animals, and the Italalian catholics kill 60,000 kittens every year because priests told them to:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...26/wcat126.xml
So, is the cat black? If so, stamp it and if anyone complains say they're persecuting you for your religious beliefs. Since it's politically incorrect to notice the difference between Catholics and actual Christians, they'll shut up.

Superstition blamed for killing thousands of black cats in Italy
A leading animal rights group has estimated that 60,000 black cats are killed every year by Italians who believe that they bring bad luck.
The Italian Association for the Protection of Animals and the Environment claims that some are also killed as part of black magic rituals.
While black cats are seen as being lucky in the UK, many people in Italy believe that if a black cat crosses their path it indicates the devil is present. The association calculated its figure from observations of the stray cat population and from monitoring of animal ownership registers. The group said it had evidence that thousands of black cats vanished or were found dead each year.
Across large parts of Europe, black cats have been associated with witchcraft since the Middle Ages and were said to be the favourite companions for witches.
Lorenzo Croce, the association's president, blamed the Church for spreading myths about the animals.
"The Catholic Church has perpetuated this idea for centuries and it is now deeply implanted in people's minds," he said.
"For centuries black cats were massacred at the order of priests."

It's kind of dangerous to have cats around that aren't working (ie, "mousing" etc.), as if they have too much time on their hands they can become a demonic "familiar" to a witch or something. Is it within your sight all day? I'd certainly want to know what it's up to.
A nanny cam might help?
If you set it free or adopt it out, it could be even more readily available as a "familiar" for some witch out there...so the whole thing's obviously a very dangerous situation any way you look at it.
I wish I knew what to tell you! PS: I don't know why the people were upset about people dying from the unchecked rats in Europe. People who have rats in their houses are poor. Having them gone due to plague lessens the burden on everyone else.

Cats are animals, who cares what animals feel? Animals are stupid and has no feelings

I put it up for adoption a couple years ago. Thought I might get a hit from Maybelline or Revlon. Nada.

I was unaware that they had laws of any kind up in Godless Quebec.
Other than the mandatory gay marriage.

It's going to happen down here in civilized, sophisticated America. Even though we are the envy of the world, the cutting edge of the latest social fashion and technology, it will happen here. The Gay Agenda has been fighting for this for years. First we caved in and legalized gay nightclubs (see: Stonewall), then we allowed homosexual perverts to work in schools, then we compromised and said "Okay, you're gay...just don't tell anyone!" with the DADT legislation...but even THAT got burned down, now the gays can openly serve in the military and so many states legalize gay "marriage"...
It's sad to see that America was a perfect country with no problems until the gays came on board to ruin everything!!! Isn't it funny that America was an idyllic paradise for everyone up until the 1960s when the gays started their protesting? And they won't stop. They want mandatory kindergarten gay sex orgies and that has been their goal this entire time.
