Mum Forces Kids To Kill Pets

Sharon McDonough, a widowed mother of seven from Long Island, New York, was charged with multiple counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty after several starving animals were found crammed into small cages at her home. Bad, but not too bad, so when I first read of this I wasn’t going to cover it, but then it got worse.

First the authorities dug up her backyard and found at least twenty dog skeletons, then her adult son told them that this sick piece of crud was doing something even worse than slaughtering helpless animals– she was forcing the kids to help her kill the poor creatures.

According to 21 year Douglas McDonough, who has referred to his mother’s home as “a concentration camp for the animals”, his mother would buy the animals, treat them like royalty for a few days then get sick of them and stuff them in cages until she felt like killing them. Think about that, she was forcing her kids to help her kill animals that had for a few days at least been treated like pets – one day some small child is playing with some cute puppy, next day he or she is being forced to help mummy torture the poor animal to death. So far Sharon McDonough hasn’t been charged with child abuse, but the authorities have taken the underage kids away from her, so charges seem likely.

Things being what they are there will be plenty who look for excuses for this woman’s behavior – distress over her husband’s death seems the most obvious one, but the problem with that angle is that he died one year ago and the varying states of decomposition suggest the animals died over a period of years. But wait, maybe he can be charged posthumously with forcing her to do this (something that was continued by his ghost after his death) or at least with not stopping her from killing the poor creatures. Come on people! He’s a man! Dead or alive, there’s got to be some way to blame him!

This poor excuse for a human being was caught after Douglas McDonough contacted a bunch of guys calling themselves Rescue Ink, a bunch of large tattooed gentlemen who go around stopping people abusing animals. You’ve got to take a look at these guys – if they’d come to McDonough’s door she probably would have crapped herself and died of fright, which in my view would have been a very pleasing end to this disgusting woman.
