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]

Every single day this fucking owner should be beating on camera so everyone can see it fucking worthless piece of shit Hope he fucking die soon
Totally agree.
Me too.
I agree. He deserves every single beating he can get.
I so agree!!!!
I don’t understand why ppl like this even HAVE pets. I mean obviously they don’t like them so why keep them??? Doesn’t make sense.
At least there’s no bail, this is the first time I’ve seen an animal abuser denied bond, that’s a step in the right direction!
Right on girl. Maybe the same reason abusive men have girlfriends?
This sociopath must be imprisoned. Never let him around animals again. Force him to pay fines for life to an animal rescue.
Great idea!
kill this human waste of oxygen before he breeds!!!!
Shame on the authorities if they return those animals to this man!
Send this asshole to me, I will gladly beat him every day and film it
YES!! Thank you!!
This guy is a total sociopath. Jail is where sociopaths belong as they are a threat to people and animals alike. If he gets off easy on this charge, there is no doubt he will be abusing kids soon, if he isn’t already. Jails are meant to protect society, couldn’t think of a better place for him.
I’m so sorry that Ginger suffered this horrific abuse. She should have been taken from Thomas Grant after the first incident. Instead, somebody dropped the ball and he was allowed to abuse poor Ginger again. Thomas Grant is a barbaric, scumbag and he should be punished to the fullest extent of the law and no longer allowed to own pets. I wish Ginger a speedy recovery and I hope she gets justice.
POS, Karma is coming for you….
Thomas Edward Grant should be sent to prison for his cruelty. Thank you to the neighbor for creating a video. I very much hope that both Ginger and the cat will find kind and loving people to take them home.
Take this GD prick and beat and kick the shit out of him on video. Once he starts to mend do it all over again because he will never change!!$
If this POS gets his animals back there is no hope for them. I really hope the judge and prosecutor grow some and throw the book at him. So sick of reading about the slaps on the wrists these abusers get and until they know that there are real repercussions it will never end.
This vile,mentally deranged severe dog abusing scumbag must be exterminated by means of a slow and agonising death!
Do to him what he did to this poor innocent dog then throw his ass in jail.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The authorities failed Ginger because they had already been called to Grant’s home and left all the animals and Ginger behind. Ginger’s abuse after that visit COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED!!!!!!! DO NOT LET HIM GET ANY ANIMALS BACK EVER!!
Get this vicious monster behind bars …. MAXIMUM SENTENCE AND HEFTY FINES. I hope he dies there and ban him for life from ever being near another animal!!!!!!!
Thank you thank you thank you to the neighbour Kennon Joyner for taping him. If only authorities would go the extra mile to save each animal.
Shoot that bastard, and if he gets those precious animals back, the state of Va. needs help also.
Here’s his address in case anyone wants to pay him a visit:
Thomas Edward Grant
1902 Airy Cir
Henrico VA 23238
Thank you for the address, I live in Henrico County and have not heard about this. If this was in the City of Richmond, RACC would haven taken action. Do you know when this happened? I will look the jerk on FB
I’m with Margie, shame on the state of Virginia if he gets possession of those sweet animals!
Beat the Abuser
I just want to this out there for the sponsor for these petitions: why are there frequent pro Trump “click ons” covering the petitions. If one is not careful while reading the petition, he/she might accidently press the Trump button. I for one, do not want that fascist evil to take office again–or anywhere else. It’s too bad that the Republican Party became the party of Trump
This nation is heading for disaster, if the far right takes control of our democratic government. It would make these animal petitions look mild, compare to what is going to happen to people who go against Trumpism
