The cat thread is quite hilarious.
Bob Minton finds a dead cat on his doorstep. This is enough for
critics to launch in a series of unfounded accusations and paranoid
rant against the CoS.
"Believe it or not, most mysterious coincidences are well within the normal
probability ranges. How hard is it for someone who is bigoted towards a
class of people (you know.. clams, evil cultists, death cult, criminal
cult... bigotry) to jump to the conclusion they're being harassed when
something fairly routine happens. The cat thing had me laughing so hard I
woke my kid up. For Christ's Sake! There are about 900 million cats in
America. How hard is it to believe you may occasionally see a dead one? Yes.
Even on your porch. Only on ARS would this be reported as harassment,
seconded and then generate a long argumentative thread. And you claim you
believe what you read here?" (Wolf)
Here is the original
"dead cat" message :

Disgusting cult. Thank god there's
a public forum so people don't feel alone when this sort
of harassment takes place. Have we all properly thanked
Bob's wife for tolerating his unusual hobby? I can't
imagine many spouses would take this calmly, and I hope
your family is all right, Bob. I can't be sure I would
continue work against Scientology if I had kids at home
to think about.

This
is an old Scientology trick. Long before I found ARS I have had
heard this was an old Scientology 'calling card'. Yes, they did it
again. And it won't be the last time. Slimey bastards. Well you
just made sure I will be here for 1998.
I
owe you bastards one. And interest.

Dead
dogs, dead cats. What's next ? Co$, (assuming it was them) placing
horse heads in critic's beds ? Dead hamsters stuffed into
mailboxes ? Sigh...classical terroristic tactics.

You
know, you might want to report this to rec.pets.cats. I'm sure
there are a bunch of people there who'd go ballistic over the
clams killing cats to intimidate critics.
Mind
you, I'm no cat-lover (I'm *very* allergic to the things), but
this kind of thing is pretty fucking juvenile.
Note: the above is just what critics did,
trying to stir more Scientology hatred through other newsgroups.

The
message of the dead cat thrown on Bob Minton's doorstep by the
punk/thug cowards of Dept 20 is quite clear, now that Bob has
helped my wife and I reestablish our animal sanctuary. The tactic
is how Scientology's criminal section operates: by threat,
intimidation, harassment and breaking the law to do it. That is
why Dept 20 has been raided so many times around the world and why
Dept 20 executives have gone to jail.
[Huge
snip of demonization against
the CoS]
That
is why a dead cat was thrown on Bob Minton's doorstep.
A
few years ago, no one would have known about it. But now the world
does.
Thanks
to people like Bob, it is only a matter of time and the amount of
time left has been greatly shortened.

Probably
another example of $scios "means to an end". Their
mentality is , it doesn't matter what we do along the way as long
as we "clear" the plant, "even if that means
killing every man women, child and cat>

I sincerely hope that your
security cameras were rolling. Maybe the cat "delivery
service" person will also show up on videos of the picketing
or leaflet dispersal while you were in Clearwater.
Blam! Blam! Operation Foot Bullet
again!
This latest incident will be
another nail in the criminal RICO coffin.

I
have been reading many of the aricles on here. The one about the
cat really struck a chord. I have been asking people about your
beliefs for a long time on here. It is starting to become clear to
me that this is a very cold church. I always thought of it as very
amazing to say the least and really wanted to learm more. I love
animals so much,I have 3dogs and three cats.It disturbs me that
hardly anyone took the time to say abusing animals is wrong. You
seem like a very cold church and if someone could prove me wrong,I
will listen with a open mind.
And
weeks later, the shabby dead cat allegation became an a.r.s.
"fact" :

They
are more than happy to harm an animal in their idea of a 'just
cause' - Swearinger's dog, the Young's cats, the Minton cat in
question, etc.
This
I find truly disgusting.

I
have taken steps to distance myself from them slowly so as not to
get any dead cats on my doorstep, even though in Canada, it would
bring the arm of the CRMP (that's the Canadian Royal Mounted
Police for...(equivalent of the FBI for you Yanks...)) to bear
heavily on them.
