Please read and forward this information to
anyone that is related to animals. This person
has been caught, and found guilty in a few
states for animal cruelty. He is now located in
Florida, and appears to move frequently.
For the link to this article and photograph of
for Humane Action (C.H.A.) on January 26, 1999.
In the early morning hours of February 6, Shon
beat the cat, poked out its eye, broke its jaw legs,
and left it bloody and in agony in a laundry basket
in his apartment. He asked Melissa to come over
and get it and take it to Delaware County Humane
Society and tell them she found it along the road.
She instead took it to Columbus Veterinary Emergency
Service (CVE
who humanely euthanized it due to the
extensive nature of its injuries.
Shon Rahrig, about 30 years old, of Sandbury Blvd,
allegedly adopted 6 or 7 cats and a puppy from various
local shelters and allegedly abused them horribly,
broke their limbs, put their eyes out, etc. The alleged
abuse became known when his girlfriend took one of
the victims to a vet to be euthanized. In court he
"copped a plea" to avoid the nasty
publicity of a jury trial, and confessed to torturing one
black and white cat, Misty, adopted from Citizens for
Humane Action. Under the current statutes the most
severe penalty for this man, if convicted, would be 90
days in jail and/or a fine of $750.
Melissa contacted C.H.A. and advised them what had
happened. C.H.A. transported the body from CVES to
Capital Area Humane Society and filed an abuse report.
Shon was subsequently arraigned and charged with one
count of animal abuse. Shon at first plead not guilty, but
changed his plea to guilty. On September 29,1999, Judge
Pfeiffer sentenced Shon to 90 days in jail (of which 45
were suspended), 5 years probation, mandatory
counseling and he was forbidden from owning any living
thing during the 5 year probation period. He began
Shon Rahrig as now living in Fort Myers, Florida area.
On 7/23/2002: As of this date Rahrig was in the San Diego
area, where he has a real estate license.
On 4/17/2002: This man was reported as living in
Southern California and Los Angeles area has been
trying to adopt animals from numerous shelters.
