You people were fucking savages.
>In the 15th century, Edward, Duke of York, declared that if any beast possessed the devil’s spirit in him, it was without doubt the cat. In medieval Europe, the cat was seen as representing evil, witchcraft, vanity, and even female sexuality, vestiges of which remain to this day (there’s one P-word in particular).
>The only way to rid something of evil, of course, is to burn it or bash it to bits. So that’s what folks did to cats.

>That brings us to the pastime of cat-burning (brûler les chats), which is exactly what it sounds like. It was a form of medieval French entertainment that, depending on the region, involved cats suspended over wood pyres, set in wicker cages, or strung from maypoles and then set alight. In some places, courimauds, or cat chasers, would drench a cat in flammable liquid, light it on fire, and then chase it through town. The embers and charred bits of cat from these blazes would be collected and taken home for good luck. Purrrrty ugly.
>Catholic church calls for the extermination of the pagan, unholy cats
>retarded serfs start mass burning cats
>And then black death happened
Imagine my shock
crime and punishment
Cats are filthy, disgusting animals and have done untold damage to Europe's native fauna.
Cats transmitted the fleas too.
Fuck off darkie, go screech somewhere else
This was not a crime that went unpaid.
With most of Europe's cat's wiped out, the black rat population exploded out of control, leading to the black plague. 50 Million people died.
Don't piss off the Cat Gods.
>you people
FUCKING RACIST
> have done untold damage to Europe's native fauna
true
>Cats transmitted the fleas too
Cat's pest control ability way outscales the possible chance of transmittion
THAT CAT WAS A WITCH
Cats are familiars of Witches and Sorcerers. Especially black cats. They're the eyes of the dark one.
Don't allow one to look at you
>Cat goes hunting mice
>cat picks up the fleas from the rodent
>scurries back into your house for pats.
Cats are only good for hunting mice, they are not effective against rats.
Cats are African migrants
So are you Jamal
White people are paranoid about everything, it's no wonder they are so gullible.
Out of Africa has been proven false. The united nations and mainstream still go with it though.
>2 guys in the history of Europe
lol
>He thinks the black death was the plague
lol
It was likely something like Ebola, read up:

The second one is really good, Cohn BTFOs the old plague theory. You can read it online for free.
White people used to torture people in the middle ages.
Cliffs:
>Black Death spread quicker and farther than the plague
>Black Death was much more lethal than the plague
>Black Death had different symptoms than the plague
>Black Death spread in regions and climates where rats and rat fleas were scarce
Everyone on Jow Forums should read it, it's a HUGE redpill.
>they are not effective against rats.
but these little critters certainly are
Apparently you have never seen a true cat, not the fat eunuchs of modern day cities
Cats can easily kill snakes, forget about rats
(Personal experience, old school badass village cats of Grandpa)
And the thing that makes cats so good at pest control is that a cat literaly kills for fun even if fully fed.
Please dont tell me you believe serfs had cats inside their houses and that they pet them
Medieval Europe was not hipster London dude, animals were tools, not conpanions for 35 year old lonely city women
I hope you sucked a picture of your King's cock before you posted on the webs, as all good Thais are supposed to.
Well, killing cats did cost Europeans a lot - youtube.com
> Be Europeans
> Kill cats because superstition
> Uncontrollable rat population contacts disease
> Have 50% of your fellow folks die a premature death
(Even back then, the filthy merchants doing trade with China, from where the rats on the ship got suck, ended up wrecking white countries.........some things never change)
