Ok, it's not like everyone does it, it's some witchcraft bullshit idiots. But talk to any cat shelter and they don't gave cats in all October because they know there are idiots who does these sacrifices
Here in the US, we were always advised to keep our black cat inside on and around Halloween because evil, sadistic fucks were (and are) known to target black cats to torture and kill. I have no idea how prevalent it really is, but enough that the advice was frequently given, even in local news.
"Witchcraft" may be the excuse the sadists use here too, but from my understanding, the cat murder/torturing tradition comes from authoritarian anti-witch sentiment. Cats were said to be witch's familiars, thus instruments of the devil, so good Christians opposed to witchcraft should go out and kill them. Especially the black ones... go figure.
Where I live it's standard not to give black cats out around this time of year. Not necessarily because they'll be sacrificed in an ad-hoc pagan ritual but because they almost all end up abandoned to the coyotes.
we go to cementeries to remember and celebrate the death, people normaly make altar in their homes to honor death love ones, with cempasúchil flowers , bread of the death, and candy and chocolate skulls, its great, i kinda want to make a post about it jaja

Tackling Feral Cats and Their Impacts - Frequently asked questions
Peta also supports it: https://www.peta.org.au/issues/feral-cats/
Even if the cats are dangerous for the indigineous species in the area, you probably don't need to fucking kill them.

:cheeto-man: KAIYOTEES
They also don't give white cats, and some no cats at all.
I prefer the spelling kaiyotees actually.
I didn't watch that shit, just read the discord thread as it happened, so I had to imagine how a senile burger fartbag would pronounce it.
