Target: Tara Miltimore, MA Cape and Islands Assistant District Attorney
Goal: Punish man accused of hurting puppy to fullest extent if he is convicted.
“I am a good man. I didn’t mean to hurt the dog.” Shane Tank made this claim at his pre-trial hearing for animal cruelty. The injuries reportedly sustained by the twelve-week-old dog in question, Pongo, seem to tell a different story. This animal suffered head trauma, lung injuries, and broken bones.
Tank claims that he merely tossed the puppy off the bed after the animal became aggressive. Investigators, however, have stated that the serious harm done to the dog could only have been caused if he was thrown with a tremendous amount of force. The suspect also says that he loves this animal from whom he has been barred contact. Yet his seeming brand of love could have cost an innocent puppy his life before it even truly began.
Sign the petition below to demand justice in this disturbing case.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Ms. Miltimore,
The request from prosecutors that animal cruelty defendant Shane Tank’s name not be initially released to the public signals the potential continuation of a troubling trend in the legal system: the lack of vigilance in holding alleged abusers accountable. Mr. Tank seems very concerned about the damage done to his reputation. But what about the possible permanent damage inflicted to his alleged victim?
Please do not let this case slip through the cracks or fall victim to an overly lenient plea deal, as has happened with so many other similar incidents. Animal abusers often escalate to other crimes, and they present a clear and present danger to the community. Seek the maximum possible penalty in the event of a conviction.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

There is no excuse for hurting fur babies. I am sick of these monsters doing this over and over! I am a cat mom and have no tolerance for animal cruelty! Throw this monster in prison and please re-home this dog immediately.❤️🐕🐈🙏
That lying POS needs to be handed over to some true animal lovers like me for the punishment he deserves.
Oh yea, forget the justice system in this country!!! They won’t do a damn thing!! Take this POS out and cut off both his hands and than his privates!!! Don’t want the low life scum to reproduce?!?!!!
There is not a good enough excuse for what this sub human scum did!!!
Agree with you Kathleen. An eye for an eye.
That’s what these monsters deserve. An about
their reputation, show their picture to the world so people will know exactly who they
are and how bad they are.
What a horrible and disgusting monster this man must be. He is a liar and an animal abuser. I am also sick and tired of animal abusers and the cruelty they inflict on the innocent. Prosecute this liar to the fullest extent and that will never be harsh enough for him. He is scum.
3 month (12 week) young puppies are NOT aggressive!!! Anyone who doesn’t know puppy’s are playful, and are very oral in their play, has NO business having that puppy. AND, it doesn’t matter WHAT “force” he claims to have used while “tossing” him off the bed, ANY toss of a puppy, let alone off a bed is wrong, good Lord!!
BAN him from ever purchasing, owning, caring for, working with or living with any animals ever again! Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law for multiple counts of egregious animal abuse and make him PAY ALL VET BILLS to restore this poor puppy to full health.
Tara Miltimore, MA Cape and Islands Assistant District Attorney
That SOB should get maximum jail time PLUS!! Hefty fines to cover all medical expenses of the this poor innocent puppy. BAN THIS SCUM FROM EVER COMING NEAR ANOTHER ANIMAL FOR LIFE! HE BLEW HIS CHANCE.
HE DESERVES SMASHING AGAINST A WALL! HOPE IT COMES SOON!
God’s speed to a full recovery little angel…
Monsters,👹
Euthanize the people that did this.
Shane Tank, your name should be made public and put on the abuser list so the world knows what kind of human you are. That innocent puppy did not deserve such horrific cruelty. Let justice for the voiceless be served.
Believe a word they say don’t believe a word they say evidence speaks for itself they want to look good cuz I don’t want to be prosecuted too bad
You lying POS , I’d like a tank to run over him.
Psychos love their victims to death. They portend innocence but will eventually kill an animal/pet or a human being for pleasure. This is what they call love. This guy is mentally retarded. If he is not punished and put behind bars, it will get worse. They feed on inflicting cruelty till an innocent victim like this pup, dies. When are your authorities in the US going to learn this!!
Apparently this guy is some some of “popular” chef in Martha’s Vinyard Massachusetts. He’s easy to find without really much information about him absolutely destroying that puppy. I hope enough people give him bad reviews while telling his dirt deed much more well known. That dog suffered extensive absolute cruel and serious injuries.
WHEN is this going to stop being okay?
Don’t give that puppy back or he’ll endure more of the same.
NO MORE JUST SLAPPING THE WRIST PLEASE. Nail his lying self to the wall!
The puppy became aggressive!!!???? This demon needs to take ownership of his violent self!!! Sick coward torturing the most helpless. Yeah-lawyers and judges need to also get a spine and prosecute to the fullest. If such individuals do not get thrown in jail, no animal will be safe and those that allow such evil to go free therefore support these abusers.
Monstrous monstrous evil, heartbreaking and horrific, karma is theirs – I feel you, poor lost innocent souls; their blood on your souls
The abuse, torture & murder of the innocents
Some heartbreaks can never be unseen, some horrors never unheard – PLEASE GOD
And the universe weeps tears of blood
Your life as theirs, as their death
BEAT this CRUEL ABUSER ALL OVER HIS BODY AND MAKE SURE TO BREAK EVERY BONE IN HIS BODY SND THROW HIM ONTO A CONCRETE PRISON CELL, AND DO NOT RENDER ANY TYPE OF MEDICAL ATTENTION DURING HIS ENTIRE PRISON CELL!!! HE should NEVER BE ALLOWED TO ADOPT, OWN, AND BE AND AROUND ANOTHER PUPPIES, DOGS AS WELL AS ALL OTHER ANIMALS TOO!!!!!
Omg! I’m sick! I can’t imagine what this baby endured at the hands of this psycho!! I hope the judge has some brains and a heart and gives this evil POS prison time! If you can do this to an animal, you can do it to a human!!!! Lock him up!!!!
Shane Tank is a bully and an abuser. Given the chance he will get worse. A 3 month old puppy is playful and learning about his world; you idiot, puppies are NOT aggressive. Shane Tank must never be allowed to have a pet! He is cruel and stupid: very dangerous combination.
These type of people are what I call MONSTERS
They have no feelings, no heart. I am quoting something I read and truly believe, and think law enforcement should hand out stiffer jail or prison times! These MONSTERS DON’T CHANGE, THEY BECOME WORSE! Shame on laws that let these people off with a warning and a slap on the hands. When will law enforcement learn?
‘Animal cruelty is linked to all forms of human abuse, from domestic violence to sexual assault. Yet despite clear evidence suggesting the connection between animal abuse and future criminal behavior, authorities too often fail to treat cases of animal cruelty with the same severity as violence against humans. This unbelievably cruel act against an innocent animal must be taken seriously, regardless of the individual’s state of mind at the time of committing it.”
