Target: Hugh Davis Ridgway III, Atlantic Circuit District Attorney, Missouri
Goal: Ensure maximum penalties for the individual allegedly responsible for the starvation and deaths of multiple dogs.
Law enforcement officials in Ridgeway, Missouri, claim to have discovered a harrowing case of animal neglect and abuse. Following reports of abandoned canines, authorities apparently found five dogs left in deplorable conditions at a residence. Tragically, one dog was found deceased inside the home, while another is believed to have perished beneath the house, the rescuers say. Investigators state that the surviving dogs had been so starved that they resorted to consuming the remains of one of their companions.
Reports indicate that three severely emaciated dogs were rescued, but the trauma they endured will likely take a long time to heal. The man allegedly responsible for these conditions, John R. Ikerd, reportedly admitted to not visiting the dogs for at least a week. He has been charged with one count of animal abuse and three counts of neglect or abandonment.
The suffering these animals seemingly endured is deeply alarming, and justice must be served to ensure that such horrific neglect is not repeated. Sign below and demand strong legal action to hold the alleged abuser accountable and to serve as a deterrent against future cases of animal cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Ridgway,
Recent reports of severe animal neglect and abuse in Ridgeway are deeply concerning. Authorities say they discovered a tragic scene where five dogs were abandoned without food or care. Investigators allege one dog was deceased inside the home, and that the surviving dogs had been driven to consume their companion out of sheer desperation. Another dog is believed to have died beneath the home, while three emaciated dogs were thankfully rescued.
These defenseless animals apparently suffered immensely, and the individual allegedly responsible for their plight must be held accountable. Neglect of this suspected magnitude cannot be tolerated, and it is vital to ensure that justice is served in this case.
We urge your office to seek the maximum penalties allowed under the law for the charges of animal abuse and neglect. This will send a clear message that cruelty has no place in our society and help protect other animals from similar fates in the future.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Holy CRAP – he WAS an Attorney?????
he knew better – special torments are waiting for him – if not here then in the After Life…..
ignore the above post – the abuser was not an attorney – the abuser is, “John R. Ikerd”
The individual is a POS and should go to jail for a long time. Disgusting person. He doesn’t look like he missed to many meals.
Please ensure that this MENTALLY UNSTABLE INDIVIDUAL NEVER OWNS ANOTHER ANIMAL for the rest of his (hopefully not long) life.
Put this monster in prison and feed him his nuts
Dear Hugh Davis Ridgway III, Atlantic Circuit District Attorney, Missouri: John R. Ikerd should not have taken on ownership of these dogs if he was not prepared to provide them the basics of care. Please please prosecute this sick and lazy individual (his appearance also hints at illness and laziness). Please do something to make your constituents, your State, and the US feel there is some modicum of justice.
They should just let this piece of shit starve to death in a cage
Amen to that Eugene! I agree 100%!
Just remove “it” from the planet. there is no amount of rehab for black souls like this.
I have a great idea! Can we feed the owner to the dogs? Problem solved!
I wouldn’t feed this putrid sack of diseased flesh to my dogs in a million years. He’s barely fit for buzzards. Let the ŵorms finish him off.

John R Ikerd should be eliminated from this world.
Return the favor……do unto others….an eye for an eye !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Throw him to msn eating sharks and let them tear him a part, die screaming you evil bastard!!!
Throw him to man eating sharks and let them tear him a part, die screaming you evil bastard!!!
beat this monster up and throw him in the dump
The dogs should have ate him! No slap on the wrist or excuses for this pos!
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F$#% IS WRONG WITH THIS CREEP?!
If this guy — John R. Ikerd — is found to be mentally ill, he should be given the help that he needs, possibly long-term institutionalization. If he is not found to be mentally ill, but is simply a horrendous abuser, he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In either case, he should never be allowed near an animal ever again, let alone permitted to own one. WHY IS THIS STUFF CONSTANTLY ALLOWED TO HAPPEN????????!!!!!!!!!
Death penalty for this bastard abuser/killer, burn in hell,motherfucker,SOB,POS,asshole.
Justice for dogs +RIP
torture for this guy would be TOO KIND! God will deal with his evil soul and may he never rest another day in his life or the after life! he deserves no mercy as far as I am concerned…..EVER!
