Four Kittens Allegedly Beaten to Death by Teacher Deserve Justice

Target: Dade Phelan, Speaker of Texas House of Representatives

Goal: Require veterinary professionals to report suspected cases of animal cruelty.

Four innocent kittens were allegedly subjected to torture and brutal deaths at the hands of their caretaker. Graham Reid, a former high school teacher, has been charged with four counts of cruelty to animals in relation to the deaths of kittens Broccoli, Cabbage, Parsnip, and Carrot. Each young animal reportedly died in separate horrific incidents over a five-month period.

In addition to seemingly tell-tale signs of abuse such as broken bones, bloodied body parts, and cut tails, Reed allegedly confessed to killing his kittens in escalating acts of cruelty. The suspect apparently used various instruments at his disposal to beat and kill these poor animals, including scratching posts, metal bars, and litter scoops. This man reportedly told authorities that he committed the heinous acts to relive stress and because they made him feel “powerful.”

Most disturbing of all, this sick pattern of seeming abuse apparently escaped the notice of local veterinarians. A tip did eventually lead to Reid’s arrest. Before this moment, however, every kitten that died had reportedly been taken to vets multiple times. In each death, the suspect was said to give the excuse that the animals died at home. If veterinarians were required to report suspected abuse, these tragedies may have been prevented. Texas, however, is one of multiple states with no such laws.

Sign the petition below to demand legislators use their full power to save animals like these kittens from preventable horror.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Speaker Phelan

Four innocent living beings were failed by one system that seemingly looked the other way as their alleged abuse turned to agonizing death. Please do not let the legal system fail them in kind. Animal cruelty charges brought in Fort Bend County against Graham Reid in the torture and murder of kittens under his care cannot be diminished or dismissed.

Over a five-month period, this man (a former teacher responsible for the well-being of other innocents) allegedly brutalized these young animals with ultimately deadly beatings. In each case, he reportedly took the kittens to veterinarians and was allowed to make excuses for the visible signs of trauma on them. A mandatory reporting law (much like the ones applied to reporting suspected child abuse) for animal cruelty could have saved these innocent lives.  Cruel abusers cannot be given the opportunity to hurt another animal or person again. Please help prevent such horrible crimes by advocating for such a law as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    Well obviously the dam laws there are as stupid as they are everywhere when it comes to animals lives and welfare. Seems some of the veterinarians there are just as stupid and enjoy playing dumb. Those poor baby creatures had to go through so much torture and not one vet, not one person gave a dam. This is what our country … NO THE WORLD has come to in regards to animals. I almost wish there were no more animals on this earth for humanity to abuse, neglect, torture and kill, all because they can. This is a dam shame for veterinarians who suppose to be in the profession of helping and saving animals to look the other way and not help, knowing those poor little baby animals are being tormented. Screw the laws, report those evil pieces of crap. Why would you doctors help those pysho’s conceal such cruelty. You all belong in prison as far as I am concerned. Can you imagine an animal confined in a household that is abusing them and they are helpless, can’t call out for help and have no one to help them? It truly breaks my heart that even to this day, the brainless, useless lawmakers in our society still don’t have the guts or tenacity to once and for all, do what’s right for all these precious animals. Laws are obviously useless, that’s why in certain circumstances, there need to be street justice (a group of irate animal lovers getting a hold of evil abusers and beating the #$%% out of them for starters. Then put their pictures up everywhere possible so others can see who they are and keep the ass kicking going. They deserves no rest from torture. Him or others like him. All those evil animal abusers deserve the same treatment. Laws don’t help. People have to help. My heart breaks for those poor kittens and others who have gone before them and who will go after. I just got through reading a YouTube video of a person killing a momma cat with a snake, while her baby kittens had to look on. I couldn’t watch the video, I never can. I only read the story, so I can sign the petition. You are telling me the laws can’t track these pieces of crap down that do these videos? YEAH RIGHT!! I’m telling you, stinking humanity has hit an all time low and is still sinking lower. Disgraceful and pathetic.

      Totally agree. This kind of sickness that goes unpunished will just continue!! Disgraceful, disgusting behavior that only civil justices can handle.. the law definitely doesn’t work but we should combine our efforts across the country to finally put an end to animal cruelty!!
      Thank you for your voice!!

    • I could not have said this any better than what you just said. This is a sick world. What loving people out there to help innocent animals a few. I give credit to the loving people. Without them this world would fall to shit. I will never understand why so many people are so cruel. God created such beautiful animals for our pleasure to love and protect. If our laws punished people longer and have them pay a large amount of money for each animal they torture or kill this would stop. A slap on the hand just makes more repeat offenders. We need to elect better people taking care of our country. Too many in for their financial benefit and they don’t care about animals. Not when they play golf, go on trips or fly around the country. This is a shame.

    • Julia Edinger says:

      YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!! THIS KIND OF “EVIL MUST BE STOP AT ALL COST” !!! POOR INNOCENT SOULS ARE SUFFERING TERRIBLY ,,, WE HAVE TO PROTECT THEM BY BRINGING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY,,, ASAP!!!

    • 100% agree! So sad!! There was case in Alabama where, if you investigate, the vets had multiple records of visits and never called this abuse. This teenager, whose parents are both lawyers, ended up getting away with several months of abusing Echo just because he was a minor. Messed up!!

    • Patricia Lamonica says:

      YOU ARE ONE SMART WOMAN DEBRA BROACH!!!! I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS HOW CAN THESE SICK PHYCOPATHS KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH ANIMAL ABUSE ANIMAL TORTURE AND ANIMAL CRULITY AND KEEP LIVING IN SOCIETY!!!! THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP LETING THIS GO ON HAPPENING ARE JUST AS SICK AS THE ONES DOING IT!!!! IT NEEDS TO START WITH ALL THE GOVERNORS OF EVERY STATE AND THE JUDGES TO ENFORCE ANIMAL CRULITY AS A FEDERAL FELONY WHICH IT NOW IS AND THE ONES THAT TURN THIER HEADS NEED TO BE REPLACED!!!

    • Jill Bowsher says:

      I read that same story today and too could not watch the video. It brought tears to my eyes. I just don’t understand how anyone can look in the eyes of those precious animals and be so cruel!! The laws have to change ASAP!!

  2. Johanne Plourde says:

    Maudite vidange celui qui a fait ça!

  3. Evan Jane Kriss says:

    This MUST NOT STAND. WE DEMAND TEXAS REQUIRE VETERINARIANS TO REPORT SUSPECTED ABUSE OF ANIMALS. This isn’t hard to do. This will SAVE LIVES of animals in the possession of monsters like this.

    PROSECUTE him to the fullest extent of the law.
    REVOKE his teaching license NATIONWIDE.
    BAN him from ANY job working with children.
    BAN him from ever purchasing, owning, caring for or working with ANY animals ever again.

  4. This horrible sadistic, demonic example of human depravity is a sign that should serve as a wake-up call to all decent human beings. Such behavior cannot be tolerated. Such a person cannot be permitted to run free among animals, children or any civilization. How can we not see that we are gradually destroying the Earth, its creatures and ourselves? This is sad and sick. It is ignorant and depraved. It is heart-breaking, evil and ugly. We must remove such sub-humans from our culture. Our survival depends upon it.

  5. It’s too sickening to comment.

  6. SANDRA PATRIZIO says:

    I agree! Laws are not strong enough and what is on the books are not enforced! This has to be taken seriously! He was a teacher! What kind of example is this for his students?! Sorry 😢 but this is so wrong! I could just 😢! The vet should have reported this abuse and eventual death of these innocent kittens 🐈‍⬛!

    • Julia Edinger says:

      Why are you sorry ?!?!? Gosh!!! I hope it’s for the precious lil lives AND NOT for horrible demon !!!!

  7. Locum Group says:

    This man is a monster and so is any vet who fails to report this heinous behavior. The perpetrator in this case will kill again and again. Guaranteed.

  8. james waldo says:

    Prosecute graham reid of fort bend tx as a serial pussyass murderer, then melt his eyes out with a blowtorch and saw him up with a chainsaw. Amen gracias

    • Julia Edinger says:

      I totally agree !!! PUNISHMENT “MUST BE SEVERE” !!!!
      VERY DANGEROUS DEMON HAS TO BE TAKEN DOWN !!!!

  9. Julia Edinger says:

    OMG!!! WHY ARE THERE SOO MANY “EVIL DEMON BEING’S” ALLOWED TO FREAKING LIVE AND CONTINUE TO BE VERY DANGEROUS TO “ALL INNOCENT LIVING SOUL’S”‼️ THIS MONSTER’S MUST BE “SEVERELY PUNISHED” ,,,,, IMMEDIATELY‼️

  10. To relieve stress and feel more powerful ! Well this POS should hope no one in jail has these problems or he will suffer the same fate as those poor kittens. Big man has to torture and kill helpless kittens to feel powerful? Give me a break. THE LAW NEEDs TO DEAL SEVERELY WITH THIS POS. Animal abusers get a slap on the wrist. So the abuse continues. TIME TO CHANGE THE LAWS !!!. My heart breaks for those poor innocents…so sad

  11. Oh Lord, this makes me feel so sick – and frustrated. Frustrated that so many people get away with this cruelty – a cowardly act.

  12. Daria Kill says:

    Pathetic fucking soft cock.

  13. Graham Reid may the same torture befall you. I curse the ground you walk on. May sorrow follow you the rest of your days.

  14. Shame on the vets for doing NOTHING. I don’t care if there are or aren’t rules for reporting violence. I’ve seen Animal Cops Houston on animal planet. I know there are humane officers who investigate and remove animals from dangerous situations. There’s no excuse fir the deaths of these kittens. Once he gets bored with feeling “powerful” by beating up infant kittens, he WILL move on to humans. Babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, girlfriends, wives, elderly people – no one is safe from this monster. People like him, who cannot be rehabilitated, should be humanely euth. Unlike the deaths he so happily doled out to those kittens. He doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air as a tick.

  15. Sonja Liotti says:

    Reid should be put in jail for the rest of his miserable, stinking life! He is clearly a SADISTIC criminal !

  16. I pray this evil pos gets the same dose that he dished out. Anyone who hurts children and animals are the lowest form of life there is. Pond scum is higher up on the food chain than these evil demons. The vets deserve to lose their license.

  17. This freaking creep deserves to have his ugly, nasty face bashed in. Such a disgusting pos monster he is. He should have taken his anger out on a brick wall, not the precious baby kittens. This makes me so sick and disgusted!

  18. After reading all theses comments, (and I agree wholly) I do get some peace in knowing that there are so many good kind people who do care about animals. I think reading these repulsive stories hurt good people so deeply because it’s beyond our comprehension the cruelty that some deal out. Many people go beyond in helping animals that need help, I try to remind myself this because otherwise it’s to painful to see all the hate, we should do what we can when we can when we see or hear of animal abuse. When you see something wrong say something, call local authorities or a rescue, just don’t sit by and wait for someone else to help. It’s really so painful to read stories like this but we cannot turn a blind eye. As wicked as this world feels there is also good caring people with uplifting stories to tell

  19. Mike green says:

    We need to find and eliminate these shithead people…

  20. Makes you wonder what other acts of violence he’s inflicted on innocent animals that no one knows about. I’m sure there are many. Vets are the logical people to report suspected animal abuse and they should do just that without a moments hesitation!
