A live cat was found half-buried in concrete in Arizona, an act that the man who rescued it believes to be a threatening message from a pro-polygamy religious group, according to local reports.

The kitten was found encased in solid concrete inside a metal tube in Colorado City, Ariz., a major center for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a breakaway Mormon sect whose members practice polygamy.

In previous incidents, dead cats have been left on ex-FLDS member Isaac Wyler’s property, according to Andrew Chatwin, who discovered the trapped feline while he was building a horse shelter at Wyler’s home....

Mangled and emaciated but still breathing, the freed feline was taken to an animal sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, where it died a few days later.

Both Wyler and Chatwin have spoken publicly against the church and its former controversial leader, Warren Jeffs....

This makes me so angry as a cat lover, but as someone familiar with the FLDS and their tactics I’m not surprised.

Based on the going ons with the flds in general, this is not surprising.

I didn’t know you had familiarity with the flds, other than being ex-lds and making a study of mormonism. They are much more pure followers of Joseph Smith than the Salt Lake-based branch of Mormons, aren’t they.

Yes they are the true followers of Smith, not SLC.

I knew several polygs when I lived in Utah, both in and out of SLC church. My ex’s dad’s company would hire them often. I also have worked with a couple of ministries to FLDS and signed up to be a safehouse. MrR is on the list to do pro bono legal work on behalf of women leaving the FLDS also.

Why dump a poor pussy in a FLDS home. That man has more than he can deal with already. Not to mention several mothers in law.

SIck puppies don’t take care of unwanted pussies. Or the unwanted boys, either. /puns off

I'm not a cat lover nor do I idealize animals....

but this act horrifies me....what sociopath could possible deliberately set a poor innocent animal to die a long, horrible death is beyond insanity...

our hands our tied...we no longer can have outrage...

we can't even protect our own neighborhoods...

we have to look the other way in every instance...

we can't even tell people to slow down in their vehicles...

Yeah, it's only FLDS that ostracize those that leave the church. /sarc

"Plain-old" LDS teachings say that God sends ex-Mos to "Outer Darkness".

They have this pre- and after-life all figured out!

Note that in the three levels of Heaven, you can be visited by those above you, but never vice versa.

It wasn’t. The man is someone who LEFT the FLDS and was put there by the FLDS.

Pretty much. I said angry because if I wrote how I really feel it would probably get me kicked off the thread and possibly a time out for bad behavior. ;)

I don’t have any particular fondness for cats but no human should do this sort of thing to a skunk.

Hey Freedom, did you know that FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Joseph Smith ripped off the plan of salvation from Emmanuel Swedenborg's book "A Treatise on Heaven and Hell" ?

The property owner Isaac Wyler is not off the suspect list. He's appeared many times in leftist media reports in the past clearly with a vendetta against FLDS. This could have been staged.

That implies an extremely grave definition of "slapped." Who knew that being slapped would get your body to room temperature?
