The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is behind a cat being buried in concrete in Colorado City, a resident said.

"Somebody had stuck a cat in this pipe and the cat is now stuck in the concrete all the way up to it's head," said Andrew Chatwin, a Colorado City resident.

Chatwin thinks this is the church's way of getting former members to leave Colorado City.

"It's been going on for years," he told Right This Minute. "I've recorded up to a dozen dead cats put into his horse corral. I've recorded dead animals that have been put into his truck."

Chatwin is a former member of the pro-polygamy church.

The cat was cut from the pipe but died from its injuries.

You can watch a video of the cat's rescue below. WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES.

    I am so confused
    First of all, was anyone else thrown off by the use of "behind" in the headline? It made it sound like the church was located behind the cat. And I am confused about who the other "he" is. "His" pipe. "His" truck. Who is he? Maybe I missed something. Anyway. Gross. Who could do that? Yikes.

    That Poor Defenseless Cat!!
    I only made it through 1/3 of the video and it enraged me to want to see whoever did this buried up to their necks in a pipe in concrete!!! The suffering that cat went through is unimaginable and you know that there was a little girl or boy who wondered why their beloved kitty did not come home. I would be happy to join a lynch mob and take these people out.

    Once again, people that do not understand or know the Mormon chruch will lay the blame on Mormons!!!! I am a Disciple of Christ, not Mormon, but the church should not have to do with this at all!!! Wish Joe was up there!!! Something would have been done already the way the Joe likes and cares for animals!!!
