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.

    Has always been run by the FLDS for as long as I can remember. They're extreme in their ways and to torture a defenseless animal is deplorable. But at least their not blowing up innocent Men, Women and Children like the Muzzies do.

    Azdawg - they did not say the Mormon church, do you support the Fundamentalists? They are a completely separate group from the Mormon church. Even if this were no different from Cock or Bull fighting, people are rountinly disgusted by that too. Sounds like you think the similarity makes it ok?

    Followers of God??? I think not!
    These people disgust me and this is just the latest reason. They say they follow God's will - really?? Do you think God would condone the torture and murder of an innocent cat? I would say not. I do think he would condone and "eye for an eye" punishment for these FLDS idots. I like Mormon's in general, but this group gives them a very bad image. It wasn't that long ago that Mormon's were being chased out of towns across America. Perhaps its time for the FLDS to get the same treatment. One final note - let us all hope that Mr. Jeffs is getting a lot of good loving in prison!
