Sign: Son Chains And Savagely Beats His Dad’s Seven Dogs To Death

Published: September 12, 2024 at 01:33 PM Author: PENNY EIMS

Akiak, Alaska – On September 1, seven sled dogs in Akiak, Alaska, suffered a brutal death at the hands of 23-year-old Charles Ivan, who chained them by the neck and viciously beat them with a stick. Ivan attempted to kill nine dogs, who belonged to his father, but someone was able to intervene and save two dogs from the savage beating.

The violent rampage followed a family dispute that prompted Ivan to damage and steal items before he turned his attention to the innocent dogs held in a nearby yard.

According to an Alaska State Trooper statement, Ivan walked to his father’s dog yard, removed nine sled dogs from their tethers, chained them by their necks, and used a stick to beat them to death.

The deadly attack led to a slew of charges, including 10 Class C Felonies, one Class B Felony, two Class A Misdemeanors, and two Class B Misdemeanors. Animal Victory needs your support to ensure this man is put behind bars for as long as possible for the horrific pain, suffering, and death he caused.

These dogs were innocent victims of an unhinged man’s wrath – chained with no way to escape and forced to witness each other’s horrific deaths. Please add your name to the petition today!

WHY THIS PETITION MATTERS: 

We the undersigned demand Charles Ivan be held accountable for his vicious actions on September 1. This violent man savagely beat nine dogs, killing seven. We and our supporters demand Charles Ivan face the maximum sentence for each and every charge stemming from this violent incident; it is critical that he face true repercussions for his actions. Additionally, given Charles Ivan’s violent tendencies, we demand this man be prohibited from owning or residing with animals in the future. 

Individuals are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Animal Victory relies upon the authorities and the court system to determine guilt or innocence.

20,017 Lindsay T. This is one of the most horrific act of animal cruelty that I’ve ever heard of. This person’s punishment must reflect the severity of this heinous violent crime, And must include the maximum jail sentence allowed under law, hefty fines, going thorough a thorough psychological evaluation with a qualified psychiatrist and undergoing intensive Psychiatric treatment for his Antisocial violent sadistic behavior. He also must never be allowed to own a pet or have a pet in his household or be near an animal at any point in the future. Please do the right thing and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law and punish him SEVERELY To the fullest extent of the law. He is a clear risk to society and It is NOT SAFE to have him walking around with the rest of the public. I have no doubt in my mind that he wouldn’t hesitate To do this same thing to another animal or even to a human being (including to a helpless child). Put him behind Bars and keep him there; Please, for the safety of all other people and animals. 0 Mar 15, 2025
