The Black Death. In the year 1665 death came calling on the city of London. Death in the form of plague. People called it the Black Death, black for the colour of the tell-tale lumps that foretold its presence in a victim's body, and death for the inevitable result. The plague germs were carried by fleas which lived as parasites on rats. Desperate Measures. By mid July over 1,000 deaths per week were reported in the city. It was rumored that dogs and cats spread the disease, so the Lord Mayor ordered all the dogs and cats destroyed. Author Daniel Defoe in his Journal of the Plague Years estimated that 40,000 dogs and 200,000 cats were killed. The real effect of this was that there were fewer natural enemies of the rats who carried the plague fleas, so the germs spread more rapidly. Throughout the summer the death rate escalated, reaching a high of over 6,000 per week in August. The best guess is that over 100,000 people died in and around London, though the figure may have been much higher.
Eșecuri Celebre... A fost o vreme când Lordul Primar al Londrei a ordonat ca toți câinii și pisicile din Londra să fie uciși/e. 40.000 de câini și 200.000 de pisici au murit atunci. Era anul 1665 și Londra era lovită de Ciumă Neagră sau Moartea Neagră (Black Dath). Primarul de atunci credea că pisicile și câinii contribuiau la răspândirea plăgii însă boală era răspândită de puricii de pe șobolanii. Măsură a contribuit la înmulțirea șobolanilor (pentru că nu mai existau pisicile care să îi extermine). Astfel, boală s-a răspândit mai mult, au murit peste 100.000 de oameni.
