Keep Halloween "pet safe"

Post by DemonSlayerMau » Tue Aug 26, 2008 4:24 pm

I think it's gotten to the point where they've made trick or treating safe enough for children, what with blinky lights, always go with an adult, etc. etc. etc.
But I've heard that sometimes, people will sacrifice animals on Halloween. There's also a high amount of traffic with trick or treating. Some decorations could be a choke hazard for cats and dogs. Halloween lights and stuff.
Personally I think on Halloween people should keep all their pets, especially their cats, inside during Halloween. Keep decorations out of reach of pets, just like you would at Christmas Time. Especially any that may contain lead and/or choking hazards. Some Halloween decor may have spikes and stuff on them, so try to keep them somewhere where a cat or dog can't reach them. (Might be more difficult to keep out of reach of cats, as they can climb XD; )
What are some other ways we can keep Halloween "pet safe?"

This probably seems crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory,

Thanks. I think it's best we keep our pets safe, and that way we won't have to worry about them getting hurt (or worse) while we have fun Celebrating Halloween. X3
I personally, would rather not spend halloween making an emergincy vet visit, or find my cat getting hurt somewhere. I figured since many of us are probably pet owners, a topic like this would be helpful. :)

Our dog will usually stay very close to my wife, almost to the point where he gets in the way of things. He'll either do that or run upstairs in our bedroom and hide in our closet. Poor guy. :|

My dog, black lab, she is very smart, she always does listen to me, she understands my signing language, and others as well...

She always protects me from any strangers such as mailman, delivery men, solicitors, etc. Even, if anyone wishes to kill my dog, I will get EVEN!!! :evil:

If my grandpa and I find out whoever did kill our dog, then they will be underground period!!! :lol: My grandpa has a long rifle, I don't know what kind of it is... he hid it in his own closet in the bedroom, but I do have my own 9mm handgun!
Please understand that this is for our own protection only, so NO ONE else can mess us around! ;)

Aw, I use to grow up with a black lab from about age 10 to age 17-18. She was a great dog, always happy. Right now me & the mrs. currently have a beagle named Shelton. It's actually kind of cute the way we found him. :)
