And fuck the FLDS piece of shit sheriff of Colorado City who is sitting on his ass and protecting his little cult. He thinks the solution to this act of animal cruelty is to "throw a little dirt on him."

The tiny cat was discovered alive but audibly in pain, inside a tube in the back yard of Isaac Wyler, a former member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Andrew Chatwin, who has also abandoned the FLDS, claimed it was intended as a warning to Mr Wyler to stop speaking out against the church.
The FLDS achieved notoriety when its leader Warren Jeffs was sentenced to life in prison last year for sexually assaulting two underage girls he had 'married'.

(7,672 posts)The authorities in the twin towns there could use a bit of neck stretching, sounds like.
Warren Jeffs, their leader, decided after he took power that dogs were not allowed, so they rounded them all up, took them to a pit, shot most of them, and covered them all up, alive or dead.
See, if there was a god, he couldn't possibly allow all this crap to happen.
So we'll have to help. But this absolutely turns my stomach.

(2 posts)I called and got the sheriff's name who laughed and did NOTHING! It is deputy Marshall Curtis Cook. The deputy Marshall's office phone number is 928 875 2695. We should ALL call and tell them how completely unacceptable animal cruelty is. This man is a sick, sick person who deserves no compassion.

In the link below, you may not see those who would defend the flds; their posts were deleted. Yes, people on DU defended the flds on "religious" grounds.

Picking on poor animals is the act of a cowardly asshole. Prosecute the bastards or just flog them.

In other parts of the world, it's just another rude word - not any more shocking than "asshole." That poster lives in one of those places.
Lost my temper and, in the process, forgot how the word is viewed in the US. Apologies.

(30,252 posts)...I shudder to imagine what they can do to a fellow human being. It seems like you have to kill a piece of yourself in order to contemplate that. My soul is already seared from learning how people in Auschwitz and Tuol Sleng were tortured, but this horrific act still managed to get to me.
My wife and I took in a few stray cats (some of whom were abandoned and possibly abused by former caregivers) and made sure they all had a forever home with lots of love and attention, so this story affects me on another level, too.

(61,715 posts)1. The man who found the kitten on his property left the FLDS and has been a target of abuse and threats from them ever since.
2. The sheriff, who is a member of the FLDS, laughed at the report.
The source for both of these pieces of information is the man who left the FLDS himself, so it would be good to get corroborating evidence. On the other hand, the photos exist and there are apparently lots of witnesses, including people who helped rescue the kitten and people who tried to save the kitty's life in the days following.
The final piece of evidence is that the FLDS does other horrible things. They drive young boys from their their communities, for one thing. They marry young girls - children - to old men in polygamous marriages. There are reports of horrific abuse from people who have left the cult.
