>Case profile:
>Case Report: Shon adopted a cat from Citizens 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
>serving his
>sentence on November 1.
