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]

Under no circumstances should this cowardly animal beater Thomas Edward Grant, ever own animals again and under no circumstances should his animals be returned to him. They deserve a good home without future abuse.
This just keeps happening over and over and over. Our comments do absolutely nothing to stop this. The law must be changed. Until that happens, this will continue.
The BASTARD NEEDS THE SAME TREATMENT!
Agree and please keep animals away from this heartless monster.
This is horrible! Hopefully Ginger is not returned and finds a loving home.
Please keep this monster in prison and re-home that poor dog and cat. They deserve to be in a loving home. Please don’t let him have these fur babies back because he may kill them.
Every state needs to crack down on animal cruelty! Enough is enough -+ stop allowing this to happen!
I am a concerned cat mom and want all fur babies to be safe.
Not taken seriously?? Are you frickin kidding me??
Are stupid would the authorities be to let this piece of crap have Ginger & the cat back?? Video evidence!!
Neighbors hearing the abuse. WTH?
Does us signing these petitions for any good? Never read any follow up on any animal.
PLEASE DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT LETTING GINGER OR THE CAT GO BACK TO THAT HELL.
No pets for this creepy animal kilLer!! Put him IN PRISON!!! DO NOT ALLOW HIM TO HAVE ANY ANIMALS AROUND HIM BECAUSE HE WILL KILL THEM!!!
Mr Grant needs his animals taken from he as this jerk is an evil animal abuser and need anger management help,or the nearest mental institution.
I am sick and god damn tired of these monsters getting away with this. The laws are a freaking joke. No wonder they do what they do. They know there are no consequences to their evil actions!!!
Man..when are we going to protect these innocent living beings from dispicable humans!!
Don’t ever let this pos get his animals back!!!!
LOCK THAT POS MONSTER UP AND DON’T EVER ALLOW HIM NEAR AN ANIMAL AGAIN!!! Those poor babies belong in a loving home!!!!
Scum, swamp water scum, dirty, filthy scum this person deserves a lengthy PRISON time NO PAROLE!!!!!!!
The best thing would be to have this a-hole beaten severely, then fined and never be allowed to own an animal or have kids!!!
THERE’S ZERO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE, EVER!! Evil sub-human abuser scum deserve to receive back, at least by ten fold, the nefarious actions they inflicted upon their innocent victims, plus topped off with capital punishment!
Until individuals who commit heinous crimes against animals are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and their pets taken from them and they are never allowed to have or own a pet again, animal cruelty will continue to happen!! Hold animal abusers accountable for their actions!!! Prosecutors, be the voice for these helpless and abused animals!!
Some animal lovers need to go visit that POS teach him a nice lesson
Beat the bastard as well as those who stays with him
and didnt bother to help to death. Those bastards should not be alive to hurt more animals
NO PETS FOR THIS PIECE OF TRASH ANIMAL KILLER!!!
PIECE OF SHIT❗👹
So this is what a POS looks like https://www.henricocitizen.com/articles/henrico-man-charged-with-animal-cruelty-after-video-allegedly-shows-him-hitting-kicking-dog/
I am appalled Grant might get his animals back. How? Why? This man is seen on video beating his dog mercilessly. What type of law do we have in this country to protect those who can not protect themselves or speak for themselves? This man does not deserve the love of a dog nor the forgiveness of a dog. This man is mentally challenged! His beating his dog is like his meeting a grizzly bear. He would not have time to beat a grizzly as he wouldn’t live long enough. He would then know how I feels to be his dog and to be beaten and demeaned by the owner you once loved. This man will do worse things if not stopped. Stop him now!
