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]

This ASS HOLE – MALE – HUMAN – PIECE OF SHIT -should be beaten like the dog was beaten – and tied to a tree in the woods for the animals to EAT!!!
He should be cut into pieces bit by bit and then he should not be created or buried but his pieces should be thrown in a gutter full of shit. Or he should be thrown alive in a gutter full of shit..make him eat that shit till he chokes yo death. Bastard.
Absolutely 💯
Thomas Edward Grant is a fur monster who deserves the exact same treatment. May he rot I. Hell. For this horrific act of cruelty against an innocent, defenceless animal.
That individual (I won’t even say he is a man) deserves the same beating he gave that poor dog. He needs life in prison + $ 540,000.00 fine + never be allowed to own another animal again. Oh before he goes to prison let me have him for 1 hour because that’s all I will need
He needs to hold his breath for life. Hang him. One hour with him? Just in case, tie him up. 1000000000000000000000%
Brilliant sir ! Agree absolutely, he’s vermin, that gives humanity a bad name….
Please punish this friggin COWARD AND MONSTER.
WHY DO WE CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BEG TO HAVE THESE MUTANY ANIMAL ABUSERS JAIL SENTENCES? IT IS THE LAW!!!!!! WHY CAN’T OFFICIALS DO THEIR JOBS AND APPLY THE LAWS WE FOUGHT FOR TO PROTECT ANIMALS FROM THESE F—— MONSTERS??!!
👋🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐾
THERE ARE LAWS REQUIRING JAIL TIME FOR THESE MUTANTS!!!!!! WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP SIGNING PETITIONS??? UPHOLD THE DAMN LAWS!!!!
I second this!!
All these mutants who attack innocent animals. . . let’s drop them in the prison population and let the animal lovers deliver the justice they deserve. I’m sick of begging officials charged with upholding animal protection laws and who do nothing.
Beat the owner.
A new law, everyone owning any animal must pay stringent psychological mental health and financial fitness tests. Plus: ALL of their past history needs to be examined.
the POS BEATS THE PUP AND NOTHING IS DONE REALLY
AMEN TO THAT.
Let’s get this loser low life thrown in jail. I would love to be alone with this waste of human life in a room for 10 minutes.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD CHARGES BE DROPPED? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SIGNED INTO LAW A BILL MAKING ANIMAL ABUSE A FELONY!! I HOPE THIS SON OF A BITCH GETS BEATEN SEVERELY IN PRISON, HE ALREADY LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE BEAT HIS ASS UP- WITH HIS BLOOD-SHOT EYE, LOL!!!!!
So many POS in this world , scums , evils , abusers , low life users making innocents angels like Ginger suffer please can the law do something about it ? Wondering ever gonna stop ? Is getting ignored by law enforcement like is not serious? Dogs are so kind we even don’t deserve such a blessing from God ! Ginger you deserve justice ! You deserve to be loved and respected !
DO NOT DROP THESE CHARGES! How can you even consider it? Do YOUR job and protect the innocents, the animals. Put him in PRISON!
The authorities have actually got a video of him beating his beautiful German Shepherd, Why does he have to have a trial – just put him in prison and throw away the key or throw him in the sea, miles away from any land, like the middle of the Pacific Ocean and find good homes for the animals. I am sure homes could be found as he is a delightful dog.
BEAT THAT MONSTER OF AN OWNER AS HARD ALS HE BEATED GINGER AND THE CAT. YOU MAY BEAT HIM IN JIL TILL H DIES. NO MERCY.
I MEAN JAIL

MANY YEARS behind BARS for this LOWLIFE HUMAN SCUM! He must also be FORBIDDEN from ever owning animals again!

DO NOT LET THIS MAN GET AWAY WITH THIS!!! THIS IS AN INNOCENT DOG THAT CANNOT PROTECT ITSELF FROM THIS CRUELTY!! PUNISH HIM TO THE FULLEST EXTENT AND NEVER LET HIM OWN ANOTHER ANIMAL FOR AS LONG AS HE LIVES!!!
AND YES I’M YELLING, SO IT WILL NOT FALL ON DEAF EARS!!!
PROTECT INNOCENT ANIMALS!!!!
Never ever allow this man to have Ginger, the cat or any other animals ever again!!!! Please give him jail time, a huge fine and tons of community service hours! He’s disgusting!!!
