Man Accused of Punching Cat to Death Must Be Punished

Target: Sarah Kirkman, District Attorney for Iredell County, NC

Goal: Prosecute man accused of deadly act of violence against cat to fullest extent.

A deadly incident of alleged animal cruelty unfolded in the town of Mooresville, North Carolina. After a welfare check was requested from a residence, arriving authorities heard a disturbing story. A man had reportedly restrained a cat with his body weight. Afterward, the man allegedly repeatedly punched the feline until the cat had died.

A video from inside the residence apparently supported a witness’s account. Grayson Gregg was subsequently taken into custody. He faces a felony cruelty to animals charge.

Sign the petition below to ensure prosecutors follow through with this case and seek an appropriate punishment.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear DA Kirkman,

Far too many times, accused animal abusers benefit from plea deals and slap-on-the-wrist punishments. This lack of accountability contributes to the high rates of recidivism for animal cruelty. Please do not let this too-common scenario unfold in the case of Grayson Gregg.

This suspect has been accused of punching a cat to death. Video evidence reportedly exists for the incident. Thus far, the alleged crime has been treated with seriousness with the charge of felony animal cruelty designated. Please continue with this case and, in the event of a conviction, seek the maximum possible punishment.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
