Besides the well known witch killings (a form of human sacrifice), some cat burning for fun by Deus Vult Londoners of 1677

Last Saturday the coronation of Queen Elizabeth was solemnized in the city with mighty bonfires and the burning of a most costly pope, carried by four persons in divers habits, and the effigies of two devils whispering in his ears, his belly filled with live cats who squalled most hid- eously as soon as they felt the fire; the common saying all the while was the language of the pope and the devil in a dialogue betwixt them. A tirce [42 gallons] was set out before the Temple gate for the common people. Mr Langthorne saith he is very confident the pageantry cost forty pounds.
