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]

That bastard is lying to try to protect himself. He IS guilty & must be charged with 2 animal cruelty felonies, spend 10 years in prison with no early parole, and be banned for life from owning or going near any animals ever again. That poor puppy must never be given back to him. Real justice would be to beat that bastard to death.
He is a freaking evil monster. It makes me angry when people say cruelty. That is incorrect word. The word is brutality or attempted murder. If that little baby dies that’s murder. Words don’t work actions do. Sign a petition to enforce the law to protect all animals. One like we have for humans.
Thank you,
Lauren
Actually, 10 years is not enough. This was attempted murder with great harm. A min of 30 years is a fair sentence.
Put the predator in prison and keep him out of society permanently
This evil person is mental and will continue to harm and kill animals and people
Michelle Stewart- I definately agree with your comment.
“That bastard is lying to try to protect himself.

Punish to the fullest and never allow him to have a pet again!
Premier Chef Services in Martha’s Vineyard. Never go there. Shut it down! Hitting his pocket book is a good way to get back at him for animal abuse
Hi
Shame tank owns Premier chef services? Oh yes yelp time/
This puppy was 3 months old and he was getting too aggressive for this worthless mother-fucker? The puppy was probably just playing with him and the stupid bastard took it for aggression. Now, you tell me, how much aggression could this little 3 month old dog be capable of? This mother-fucker needs to be castrated so he doesn’t produce any more bastards like himself and then sent to prison for life where some inmates will turn him into a woman and he can then live as a bitch for the rest of his life servicing other inmates. This sonofabitch deserves no less.
Amen
Agreed
THROW THIS COWARD IN A WOOD CHIPPER!
Good idea.
Amen
Just put him in prison – the inmates will take care of him
BINGO!!!!!!!
That SOB is lyning thru his teeth. What he did is CRUEL, HORRIBLE & INHUMANE. He needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He needs 15 years in jail & have him room with Bubba. A fine of $350,000.00 & never be able to have another animal for as long as he lives. Plus let me have him for 1 hour before all this takes place.
15 yrs is not enough. Double it and that is a fair minimum. This was attempted murder with great harm.
1 hour you’re naughty 😜
Animals shall NOT be VICTIMS of human SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS! This monster must be forbidden from owning animals ever again. Animal cruelty shall be treated as any human cruelty and this innocent puppy deserves justice – just like YOU and ME!
MAX JAIL for this DISGUSTING LIAR & ANIMAL ABUSER!
Really sad to hear… 😞
Off with his head I say is my verdict
The death penalty is a fair sentence too.
This person is delusional and sick!!! Give him full penalties and NEVER EVER let him have that puppy or animals again!!! He should never be allowed around children either!! Sicko!!
I still find it astounding that people believe they can say “I just tossed/ shoved, cause he was being agressive ” are u fucking kidding me??? He Is a BABY who prolly wanted to play. You on the other hand IMO are a POS who doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air as these sweet pups. You are a disgusting example of a human being! I hope you are placed in front of an animal loving judge and u recieve the maximum punishment, fines and jail time. I hope someone in the ‘pen’ is looking for a new bitch and he inflicts the same type of pain on you that u dud that sweet pup…… SCUMBAG
Very well said. There are some wicked subhumans on earth who should be dead
The only way he is a Good Man, IS IF HE IS A DEAD MAN. He is a freaky COWARDLY BASTARD! Rubber band castrate have m so he can’t breed, then break every bone in his body. THERE WAS S NO EXCUSE FOR ANIMAL OR CHILD ABUSE!!!
A 6 by 2 plot is a surefire way to make sure he become a good man.
WHY OH WHY ARE WE ALL STILL HAVING TO SIGN THESE PETITIONS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSEDLY ‘IN CHARGE’ ARE OBVIOUSLY USELESS.
CLEARLY YOU DONT NEED TO BE EINSTEIN TO KNOW WHAT THIS DISGUSTING EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN IS DOING.
STOP FAFFING ABOUT,WASTING TIME AND MONEY AND JUST GET ON WITH IT.
PUNISHMENT IS TOO GOOD FOR THIS EVIL EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN. PUT HIM AND ALL THOSE WHO CHOSE TO TURN AWAY, IN JAIL AND THROW AWAY THE KEY. HARD LABOUR UNTIL THEIR MISERABLE END…JUST PLEASE GET ON WITH IT. JUSTICE MUST BE DONE FOR THESE POOR INNOCENT ANIMALS…GET ON WITH IT!!
The only thing this ingrate loves is saving his ass! Prosecute and dont let him near ANY animal. He deserves NO sympathy, he deserves jail & a heavy fune!
HE NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED TO THE FILLEST!! FINE THIS COWARDLY FOOL AND THEN JAIL TIME!! OR, HE WILL DO IT AGAIN!!
THIS MONSTER SHOULD SUFFER LIKE THE PUPPY DID!!
HE WILL ROT IN HELL!!
This is attempted murder with grievous bodily harm. A 30 year sentence would be fair. Again, 30 years is the minimum for what he did. fair is fair
RIGHT ON, VINCE!!!!
Let’s just see what happens when the same force is used to do the same thing to him. And then capital punishment. I’m tired of animal abusers and I’m tired of these stories. We must be rid of them at all cost
The asshole needs to be tortured – there’s no way a 12- week old puppy would be aggressive unless it was scared for his life!!!! Damn the man and jail and a fine are still not enough punishment!!!! God bless the innocent puppy and let him get a loving home-the asshole should never be allowed near or allowed near any animal!!
THIS MUTANT CAN’T GET ENOUGH PRISON TIME, WHICH IS WHERE THERE IS THE ONLY CHANCE THAT HE’LL RECEIVE PUNISHMENT THAT EVEN REMOTELY MATCHES HIS CRIME!!!!! AND THE COWARDLY BASTARD TRIES TO EXCUSE HIMSELF ?????? A NON-HUMAN!!!!
Everything this evil monster says is a lie! 3 month old puppies don’t get aggressive! He tortured this poor puppy almost to death and God only knows the pain he has suffered and will suffer for the rest of his life because of this evil pos. Both physical and psychological. This lying evil pos should suffer the same fate only to death. We know his name and the name of his business Premier Chef Services….now it’s time to destroy this evil monster!
Evil pure evil
Nobody cares about his disgusting reputation. Hopefully this will ruin his useless life . This is horrible . The same should be done to him . He needs in jail with animal advocates let them finish him .
