The East Greenwich Police Department arrested 40-years-old EUGENE MICHAEL MCQUADE (pictured).


For many of you, the name sounds familiar because this society’s vomit has abused innocent animals over and over again.


According to a police report obtained by Voice For Us, on March 2, 2023, police responded to MCQUADE’s home on Downing Street after receiving a report of a domestic violence.

Officers learned from MCQUADE’s girlfriend that he pushed her onto a bed and kicked her multiple times. The girlfriend told police that she and her 4-year-old son hid under the staircase and that they feared for their lives. A similar incident had happened a week prior, said the girlfriend.


Officers also learned that MCQUADE had a total of five dogs. Two puppies were found in a small crate inside the home and two more dogs were outside in a fenced in dog kennel who “appeared to be extremely aggressive”, stated the report. Police did not disclose information about the fifth dog. The poor furbabies were lying in their own feces and did not have any access to food or water. According to the report, “The water bowl that was provided to the two puppies had a dog tongue mark on the bottom of the bowl where it appeared the puppies were attempting to drink water.”

As stated in the report, “McQuade had a bite glove and an agitation bite stick in the same room of the two puppies in the same small crate.”

Animal control Officer Kelley Thurber responded to the residence and took custody of the dogs.


Police arrested MCQUADE and charged him with mistreatment or failure to feed animals, unnecessary cruelty to animals, and simple assault and battery.

Additionally, as a result of his conduct while he was in custody, MCQUADE was also charged with, disorderly conduct and two counts of vandalism.

Police said MCQUADE spat on the walls of his cell and threw wet toilet paper at the surveillance camera.


Court records show MCQUADE was arraigned on March 3, 2023. He was released on personal recognizance and ordered to have no contact with the victim.

MCQUADE is expected back in court on April 17, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. before judge James J. Caruolo.


Meanwhile, allow me to remind you that MCQUADE has abused innocent dogs in the past!

Between 2013, and 2018, MCQUADE has faced a combined twenty-six charges, including cruelty and mistreatment of animals, but all except one misdemeanor count was dismissed, allowing him to get some of the dogs back.


On January 20, 2018, MCQUADE was arrested and charged with eleven counts of animal cruelty after eleven of his dogs were found living in squalid conditions at properties he owned in Exeter and Coventry. The majority of those charges were dropped in a plea deal, all but two of his dogs were returned to him, and the case has since been expunged from his records.


According to an article by 10WJAR dated April 29, 2018, MCQUADE was charged in 2013, for mistreating animals, and in 2014, he was accused of controlling vicious dogs.


In June 2021, officials removed several dogs from MCQUADE’s home. (Voice For Us article)


As far as I am concerned, weak laws, despicable judges, and prosecutors open to negotiations continue to allow filthy individuals like EUGENE MICHAEL MCQUADE to abuse innocent and voiceless victims!

I strongly believe that it’s not sufficient to only expose animal abusers but we need to create a registry to expose those judges who let animal abusers walk free, who gift them with probation, and who do not apply the maximum sentence!

Let’s name and shame them ALL!

On the early afternoon of Thursday, June 30, 2022, the Edmonson County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by Grayson County Sheriff Norman Chaffins and Grayson County Animal Control Officer Todd Saltsman, about 60-years-old GREG K. RIGDON (pictured), “having numerous dogs on his property that were not being fed or watered.”


A deputy with the Edmonson County Sheriff’s Office was then dispatched to a property on the 400-block of Indian Creek Road and upon arrival, the deputy made contact with RIGDON who agreed to show his animals.


According to a release obtained by Voice For Us, the deputy discovered “multiple dogs, severely malnourished, with no food or water.”

As stated in the release, “Some of the dogs had rotting animals or bones of animals in their cages.” RIGDON told the deputy he did it for the dogs to eat on.

RIGDON had one empty bag of dog food and told the deputy that no other dog food was on the property.


RIGDON was arrested on scene and charged with five counts of cruelty to animals.


A short time later, the deputy was contacted by Edmonson County Animal Control and learned that more deceased dogs had been found on the property.

An Animal Control Officer had found a mummified dog inside of a doghouse who had the collar and chain still around his/her neck. There were no signs of food or water inside that doghouse.

As if the situation was not cruel and devastating enough, multiple dog collars were found along with the skeletal remains of the dogs.


Consequently, RIGDON was additionally charged with torture of a dog/cat with serial physical injury or death.

He was booked into the Hart County Jail and online arrest records show he is still in custody.

According to online court records, RIGDON’s arraignment is scheduled to take place on July 12, 2022, at 8:30 a.m.


The furbabies removed from RIGDON’s hellish custody are now being care for by the Bowling Green/Warren County Humane Society. One of the furbabies, a male named Silas, is up for adoption so, if you are ready to add a new member to your family, please click here or give the nonprofit a call at (270) - 842 - 8572. Thank you!


The Edmonson County Sheriff’s Office said that this incident makes the third time RIGDON has been charged with cruelty to animals.

RIGDON was arrested the first time in Hart County and the second time on October 23, 2017, in Grayson County.


RIGDON is toxic and toxic people do not change, they only change their victims.

If the law does not change in Kentucky and lawmakers do not take animal cruelty seriously, we will continue to experience cases like this one and the senseless deaths of innocent animals is on you lawmakers!

The male in the picture is RICHARD JERRY MCLEOD.

On March 16, 2016, animal control officers removed 72 dogs who were hoarded on his property on Liberty Church Road. At the time MCLEOD faced animal cruelty charges.


Let’s fast forward to 2022, and MCLEOD is facing more than 30 animal cruelty charges.

On May 26, 2022, the Brooks County Sheriff’s Office, Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelter, and Thomasville-Thomas County Humane Society removed from his property: 15 puppies, 9 kittens, and 7 dogs.


In a Facebook post, Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelter wrote: “The condition these animals were in is tearing our hearts apart: starvation, malnourishment, dehydration, bondage, worm loads, etc.”


WALB reports that Samantha Shelton, founder of Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelter, said two puppies and one dog sadly died. She explained that the primary issue the animals faced was malnutrition.

One was tied to a tree. There was no way he could find a way to escape for food or water. So many, if not all, didn’t have access to the proper nutrition,” she said.

Ms. Shelton added that the animals were exposed to fleas and mosquitoes.


According to the Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelter, MCLEOD was arrested after trying to flee the scene.


Ms. Shelton also told WALB: “These people will go on to do it again. They prove it every time. They will go to do it again. They have to be policed, but we lack the resources to do it.”


WALB reports that MCLEOD had a bond hearing scheduled for May 30.

At time of writing, I have not found any updates on the case.


Those of you who regularly read animal cruelty stories are very much aware that when it comes to a hoarding situation, the organizations involved in the rescue of the VOICELESS VICTIMS find themselves facing incredible hardship!

It cost money to transport the furbabies to shelters, to vet them, provide them with medical care and so on.
