Well, the middle ages were just a hard time for a lot of people....the church was a little screwy in it's believes at the times and it seems advanced thinking took a break during those years as well.Anna Kathryn Lanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607469543348819190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-23314978464790568412009-10-10T15:50:47.301-05:002009-10-10T15:50:47.301-05:00I love obscure facts, and these were most interest...I love obscure facts, and these were most interesting---since I write in that time period.

I've found quite of few interesting trials with animals. <br /><br />At the Salem Witch Trials--One dog was hanged because it was believed to be able to transform into a witch.<br /><br />Cats were burned and hanged in the medieval times because they were independent creatures. This violated what they were taught from the bible. Humans should have dominion over animals. Also, cats were very active at night and engaged in loud, raucous mating rituals. To the superstitious minds of the Middle Ages, cats were evil and practicing witchcraft. <br /><br />Most accused witches were older peasant women who lived alone. If they had a cat for a pet, it made it worse for them. About a million or so cats were burned at the stake, along with their owners, on suspicion of being witches.<br /><br />Pope Gregory IX (1145–1241) declared that a sect in southern France had been caught worshiping the devil. The devil supposedly appeared in the shape of a Black Cat. Cats then became the official symbol of heresy. Anyone who showed any compassion for a cat would then be under the church's suspicion.Karen Michelle Nutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083893569523248900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-36798329800044723112009-10-10T11:53:22.081-05:002009-10-10T11:53:22.081-05:00Oh, my lord.
