Target: Henrico County, Virginia Commonwealth Attorney Shannon L. Taylor
Goal: Give man prison sentence for allegedly beating dog and do not allow him to own pets.
Thomas Edward Grant was arrested on two counts of animal cruelty after he allegedly beat his German shepherd named Ginger. It is important he receive the maximum penalty so that other animals will be less likely to suffer if he is found guilty of this horrible crime.
Police said they discovered video evidence of the event after neighbors posted footage on social media. According to reports, the dog can be heard yelping loudly while the episode is taking place. Reports also indicate that authorities had previously been called to Grant’s home for similar accusations.
Grant is currently being held without bond, and Ginger as well as a cat were removed from his home. Grant may get his animals back if the current charges are dropped. Sign this petition to demand Grant be given the most time behind bars possible and to further insist he no longer be legally allowed to own animals if he is found guilty of these unthinkable acts.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Commonwealth Attorney Taylor,
Authorities arrested Thomas Edward Grant after it was reported he repeatedly beat his German shepherd. Grant should not receive any mercy under the law if he is found guilty of such vile animal cruelty.
Neighbors said they witnessed Grant hit Ginger on many occasions. However, evidence was needed, likely because of Grant not being arrested for similar alleged tragedies. One of his neighbors, Kennon Joyner, therefore taped Grant while he was reportedly hitting and kicking Ginger and then posted the video on social media.
The dog was temporarily placed at the Henrico County Police Animal Shelter. However, if Grant’s case is not taken seriously, he may be given permission to take Ginger and his cat home and not be required to pay fines or spend time in jail. I therefore demand you seek the toughest sentence possible for Grant and that you further tell the judge he should not be legally allowed to have pets if he is found guilty of this needless abuse.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Severest punishment should be given. Life ban on keeping any animal. We are their voice.
Please put this abuser away and do not allow him to be near or own any animals. Animals are not on this earth for people to do as they please to them. Dogs, cats and any other animals should be cherished & loved. We cannot continue to let this happen to animals. He needs to go to jail. That poor poor dog. Please do not give this monster his animals back. Please make him accountable for his actions before he kills an animal or person.
Do the same crappy thing back to any and every human that causes any harm WHATSOEVER to ANY ANIMAL….and that will end cruelty a whole lot quicker!!!
From your mouth to God’s ears…
Put this POS in jail and ban him from pet ownership. I get so tired of hearing about these cases and the mealy mouth justice or total lack of justice that these JAs receive.
Find the freaks and sterilise them
Make this asshole pay for all medical care and care of the animals until hopefully adopted by a loving home. Then take him and beat and torture him to within an inch of his life. He won’t do it again if he is made to endure what Ginger endured.
Maximum felony charges is a must for this evil monster. He should never be allowed to live in society or ever be allowed to own or be around any animals for life. No excuse for animal abuse ever.
the lowest depth of misery. euthanize this monster excuse for a human being
Long jail time for those responsible please
I implore you to treat this crime of violent animal abuse seriously.Thism must not be tolerated one iota in society. The animals must be permanently removed from the home and not returned to him. He was beating his dog who had no escape. No matter what, this person is unsafe for any animal and unless prevented by legal action, it will occur again. TO Ban future animal ownership is a must and he must be held fully accountable!
TOXIC MASCULINITY WASTE OF OUR VALUABLE RESOURCES TIME TO CULL THEM ALL FROM EARTH BEFORE THEY KILL OUR EARTH!
I’d vote for you for President! Someone get his address. I’ll volunteer to take care of him. He’s why God invited firearms!
That guy needs beaten before jail time. He doesn’t deserve any animal. Previous accusations, now on video…PLEASE don’t return that cat or beautiful Shepherd. I’d bet he abuses women too. Big man…keeps animals to abuse to help his ego. I pray that poor girl isn’t traumatized by him. Human failure she and cat deserve better lives!
Someone please kill Thomas Edward Grant.
If he is not sent to prison and his dogs are returned then it says it is okay to continue torturing animals. Courts must take animal cruelty seriously if this is to stop. Stiffen laws. Animal torture will continue if there are not repercussions
Don’t give him the pets back. They are in danger!!! This dumb shit will abuse them again. His ass belongs in jail. No owing or being around pets and animals again! Ppl who abuse pet and animals should be treated the same
Ginger I hope you will recover quickly from this abuse and are placed in a good loving home which you deserve as well as your cat sibling…
This kind of stuff is getting out of hand
Doing this kind of horrible disgusting thing to animals just for fun and ratings has got to stop. And why is this being allowed? Shut these sites down
That bastard should be shot dead. He doesn’t deserve to live. Since that won’t happen, he must serve 5 years in prison with no early parole, pay a $300,000 fine, and be banned for life from owning, working with, or even going near any animals ever again. He can’t even own a fish. Ginger and the cat MUST NOT be returned to him. He has tortured/abused animals more than once. He will do it again.
I want to thank the neighbors who gave a voice to the voiceless animals being tortured by this asshole.
Justice likely WILL NOT be served in this case, so I ask this POS’s neighbors to monitor him. If he gets these poor creatures back, you must render justice to him by posting his picture and address then let society deal him the karma he deserves!
HOPE HE GOES TO JAIL AND SOMEONE BEATS HIS ASS TO DEATH SLOWLY.
