More details from petition creator

Should we be doing something to ban Halloween?

Should we really be sending out our children on a dark night to knock on strangers’ doors to demand money? Although the Christian Church celebrates All Hallows Eve, Halloween has always been and continues to be a celebration of Satanic ritual, witchcraft and a salutation of black arts that promotes sending children out on a dark night, sometimes on their own. Are people that ignorant about paedophilia and often its connection with the darker side of life?

It is also becoming the practice of older children to blackmail people by demanding money or face physical damage to their person or property. What kind of sad world are we living in where we celebrate the black arts by dressing our children in ghoulish costumes and send them out on a satanic festival to highjack people for material gain?
