Alert - Shon Rahrig, known Animal Abuser moved to California

[Guest guest]

My PETA friend in Colorado forwarded this to me about a convicted

animal abuser, Shon Rahrig. Even though he had moved to Long Beach

in 2006, she said he could be anywhere in California because he

moves aroound so much. Google on Shon Rahrig and you can read all

about him.

CA, Etc. - Reminder - PLEASE READ - Shon Rahrig, convicted

animal abuser, has moved to Long Beach

 

Convicted animal abuser Shon Rahrig moved to Long Beach in 2006. He

uses Craigslist to find animals to torture, both posting and

answering ads. He favors Calico cats, but will also take kittens,

adult cats, puppies and older dogs instead. He tends to focus

on 'free to good home' ads so he can get free victims. He is

believed to post ads full of manipulative lies (see example at end).

In addition to craigslist he attends adoption events and shelters

and may use newspaper and bulletin board ads so please warn non-

craigslist people you know.

 

His acts of torture are extremely disturbing. He has been doing this

for years and moves to new locations (even across the country) when

the locals learn too much. In addition to jail and probation his

sentence for torturing kittens in Ohio in 1999 included the decision

that he could never again own living things and had to attend

mandatory counseling. Instead he skipped town and moved to another

state where police, neighbors, shelters and animal control

did not know him! This was after pleading guilty (in order to avoid

the publicity a trial would have brought him, which would have

hindered him when he sought more victims).

 

Please spread this warning - thank you!
