Okay... This was just too impactful to me for me NOT to share...
Recently, a kitten was found buried alive in Colorado City, Arizona outside the house of a former member of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints who had spoken out against the church (they think it was meant as a "message from polygamists") from. The kitten was in a metal tube (used to make cement posts) buried up to its neck in concrete.
Another former member of the church found and rescued the kitten; he also recorded the encounter. And after he rescued the kitten and gave it over to an animal sanctuary in Utah, it died only a few days later...
The video is quite graphic... I seriously CRIED and was so heartbroken when I watched it... I don't know what made me want to watch the video (maybe becuse I couldn't truly comprehend that humans could be so cruel towards animals, or even just because it was one of those things you just had to see HAPPENING in order to fully comprehend it...) but I watched every second, and every second of it filled me with such a deep sorrow and anger... especially when I heard and saw the kitten mewling and struggling from inside the concrete... You could HEAR how desperate and in pain it was... I mean, you could just fucking TELL... Every mewl went straight to my heart; I literally felt my heartbreak and sadness in my chest it was so strong... I almost had to stop watching before it was even halfway done, but SOMETHING told me to watch it through to the end.
I just can't FATHOM why in the hell anyone would do this... What kind of message is this supposed to SEND anyway if this WAS done by members of the Latter Day Saints Church?! THIS SENDS NO KIND OF RELIGIOUS OR EVEN A COHERENT MESSAGE; IT ONLY SENDS A MESSAGE OF CRUELTY AND MALICE!!!
...
Sick fucks, whoever did this...
Oh. And by the way, here's a little snippit from the article...:
--Chatwin also claims that when he reported the cruel act to Colorado City sheriffs, they didn't seem too concerned.
"[The officer] kind of chuckled and laughed a little bit and then he said that if it was up to him, he'd just throw dirt on [the cat]," Chatwin said. "And this is coming from a city marshal who's a member of the FLDS Church."--
Here's the link to the article and video...:
