I just started reading an English translation of Cellini's autobiography, and 20 pages in I'm thinking this guy is a narcissistic lunatic.

In today's 'horrifying European history', I present to you the Ypres tradition of the Kattenstoet, or festival of cats. 'How can this be horrifying?' I hear you ask 'a festival of cats sounds absolutely charming!' well, just you wait. For you see, this is not a celebration of cats, more a... Celebration of how Ypres used to TREAT cats. Namely, they used to throw them to their deaths from a belfry for... Some reason?! People have supposed it is because they have been linked to witchcraft, others proposed they were thrown to their death after the yearly selling of clothes because... The people of Ypres are cat-killing scum?! Anyways, the modern day festival pays homage to his practice by flinging stuffed animals from the high buildings to children below, instead of being humiliated and disgusted that such a monstrous thing was part of their city's history.

Well, if the cat-tossing fad ever comes back, you have generations of people trained to safely catch them before they hit the ground.

I hear you ask 'a festival of cats sounds absolutely charming!' well, just you wait. The treatment of animals is a historical horrifying fact. In early modern Europe, animals were considered to have no rights at all, and sports like bear-baiting and fox-tossing were popular. Children were given songbirds with broken wings as toys. In the early 20th century, rabbits were used for pregnancy tests by injecting a woman's urine into them. After a day, the rabbit was killed and dissected, and if the woman was pregnant her hormones would make the rabbit's uterus swell up. Hamsters can become pregnant from human sperm (with non-viable offspring), so this was a method of male fertility testing. Humster cells are still used in medical research today because they aren't covered by laws prohibiting human stem cell research.

Kudos to the podcast Noble Blood for the episode on The Hautefaye case, a terrible lynching with unfounded but kinda justified rumors of cannibalism! quote:According to witnesses, Alain de Monéys' head was "like a globe of blood".

Wikipedia posted:In the same way, it is through the trials of pigs that not only the direct author of the crime is recognized, but there could also be "accomplices", as in the case of the village of Saint-Marcel-le-Jeussey in 1379, in which two herds of these animals were said to have rioted and expressed the approval of an infanticide committed by other pigs; although the pigs found guilty of homicide were sentenced to execution, thanks to the request of the owner of the two herds to the Duke of Burgundy, the animals accused of complicity were pardoned. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that the pardon was granted thanks to some brilliant rethoric by a simple, small town Burgundian lawyer.

its not hard to see even today pretty callous instrumental approach to animals when i go back to my native south european countryside, where people are fine keeping dogs in outdoor caged enclosures (small enough to be just a big cage really) or have them on a long chain out in the yard at night or when nobodys home. Or the killing method used until pretty recently for slaughtering suckling pigs to prep for the roasting Falukorv has a new favorite as of 15:49 on May 6, 2024 |

I mean, obviously there needs to be an earth floor and a shelter of some kind plus enough room and so on. Surrounded by a cage still.

There were laws preventing animal cruelty in the US before there were laws about child abuse. Some early convictions for beating kids used the animal abuse laws. Same idea, right? Kids and animals are both living creatures that belong to you!
