Sharon McDonough Had Her Very Own Pet Cemetery
November 9, 2009 by Jaded
Long Island – Last Thursday, the guys from Rescue Ink: Unleashed got a call about a disturbing case of animal cruelty. The cast, a bunch of big, schmexy, tattooed, biker types who strive to save stolen and abused animals, headed out to the home of 43-year-old Sharon McDonough. Upon discovery of five dogs in the home, crammed into cages, malnourished and neglected, the crew put in a call to the SPCA. Further investigation revealed that the five dogs inside the home were just the tip of the iceberg. The SPCA returned to Sharon’s home SaturdaySaturday reviews
morning armed with a search warrant and some shovels – they wanted to start digging in her back yard. And dig they did, unearthing the remains of as many as 20 cats and dogs.
Sharon McDonough
“It looked like a real murder scene, as if they were gonna pull out dead bodies out there,” neighbor Andrea Martinez said. “The smell was unbearable. They were taking bags out by the dozen. It was crazy.” According to the tipster, Sharon’s oldest son, 21-year-old Doug McDonough, his mother would “buy a new dog, treat it like it was the greatest dog in the world for a few days, then they would sit in the cage until she decided to kill them.” If that wasn’t heinous enough, it is believed she enlisted the help of one of her seven children to hold the animals while she tortured them. “It was a concentration camp for the animals,” Douglas McDonough said. “My sisters and me, we got the end of it, too.” Sharon’s children range in age from 18 months to 21 years.
Though authorities suspect that each of the dead animals belonged to Sharon, her neighbors aren’t so sure. Seems that more than just a couple of cats and dogs have disappeared – never to be seen again. Neighbor Sharyn Padula said three of her animals have gone missing in the past year. “If they find my pets, I want her to pay,” she said. Necropsies are planned on each of the corpses. Five dogs, one cat, a bird, and a hamster were removed from Sharon’s home, alive.
Neighbors say that Sharon has been a ‘little off’ since the death of her husband in an auto accident last year. Sounds like ‘little off’ is a huge understatement. Damn.
Charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty, Sharon McDonough was released without bail yesterday. If convicted on the animal cruelty charges, she faces up to a year in prison on each of the misdemeanor counts. If it is determined that Sharon intentionally killed the animals (ummm, DUH!), the charges could be raised to a felony and she would likely face more time.

He sharon a “he”?? I am confused by the 3 pic posted.
9:55 am on November 9th, 2009
FRY her!! Bitch!
10:11 am on November 9th, 2009
That pic of her in the article is scary!! What a fucking nutjob.
10:12 am on November 9th, 2009
OMG, I am revolted. This woman needs to be kept in a VERY small jail cell with no water and food, and taken out regularly to be beaten and tortured. Please. Bitch. Nothing is too bad for someone who does this to animals.
10:50 am on November 9th, 2009
I got the pic.
This bitch needs to rot in hell. Someone send her there!
11:16 am on November 9th, 2009
I think her husband killed himself so he wouldn’t have to spend the rest of his life with her. At any rate, I hope she gets charged with a felony and does some SERIOUS jail time. People who abuse inoccent animals are the lowest of the low.
1:38 pm on November 9th, 2009
She was only charged with a misdemeanor and released without bail for torturing and killing countless animals? Stupid bitch ought to be thrown in a cage and tortured as many times over as animals they found. Better yet, get a bunch of rabid dogs and set them loose on her, stupid bitch.
1:46 pm on November 9th, 2009
Uh, yeah, based on her son’s comments, I sincerely doubt the cunt can blame this on her husband dying just one year ago. Rarely do we hear such blunt statements from the family members. Damn.
4:28 pm on November 9th, 2009
Or maybe she just got tired of him too and didn’t have a cage big enough so she used a car.
5:03 pm on November 9th, 2009
I’ve been lurking for a while, but have to comment on this.
Now that the media has outed her son for calling her in, where are the kids? She was released, and I can’t imagine what kind of happy homecoming that must have been. She doesn’t look like the kind of gal who would take “betrayal” very well.
Peruvian Marching Powder, yes; betrayal, no.
5:19 pm on November 9th, 2009
Hi, McDanel – thanks for coming out of lurkdom!
I was curious about the kids too – I have searched and searched but can’t find any information pertaining to the kiddos. I would assume that if they had been removed from the home, for whatever reason, it would have made it into the news article. I hope they are someplace safe – mommy is a nutjob.
6:58 pm on November 9th, 2009
She’s Lonnys twin…

death can seriously fuck people up. maybe her life was pretty normal before he died. the greater the loss, the longer the recovery. she probably just wanted a companion but couldnt handle all the responsibility… it was still wrong of her no matter the reason but they shudnt be jailing her, she needs inpatient counseling and treatment.
8:28 pm on November 9th, 2009
I agree. We shouldn’t be jailing anyone who has had bad stuff happen to them in the past. That sounds like a great rule. Or should this apply only when the victim is “just an animal?”
9:36 pm on November 9th, 2009
better an animal than a child! its not just that bad stuff has happened to her. its that her actions could be a result of ‘bad stuff happening’. what good does it do to jail someone if ur not acknowledging the reason or doing anything about it. she wont change. every action has a reason behind it, its time to start helping as much as punishing. bad shit happens to everyone but all dont go crazy cuz of it.
10:27 pm on November 9th, 2009
She should be locked in a copper barrel “Brazen Bull” and held over a fire. Apparently, this amused certain rulers in ancient Greece such as the Roman Emperor Hadrian who, according to legend, burnt entire families with the device.
10:59 pm on November 9th, 2009
I don’t buy that “death does some strange things to people” bull. Lots of people (including me) have lost loved ones but they don’t resort to violence against innocent creatures and children. This woman is a deranged waste of space and should be removed from civilized society. Her children are better off without her, trust me. Do you know that they found bags full of animal AND human feces in her backyard? What is up with that? NY doesn’t have the death penalty but she needs to be locked away and kept in solitary confinement until the day she dies. No mercy.
11:26 pm on November 9th, 2009
nowhere did it state she hurt her kids… but harsh much? locked away forever? if she gets locked up til she dies then the judge is on crack… they set baby rapers and child molesters free to just walk the streets, MY streets. i do not get y anyone wud want to crowd a jail with such a minor crime…. this is y i dont pay taxes. they set criminals free and jail the dog killers.
12:57 am on November 10th, 2009
There were rulers in ancient greece like the roman emperor hadrian? If he’s roman than he’s not in ancient greece. He’s in the roman empire. Sorry im a classics nut, but it throws off the whole timeline. And about the bull, it was used to make an example of the punished because the screams of those being roasted and asphyxiated in the bull would reverberate much louder from within the bull. Brutal, absolutely. Ok, I’m done being a nerd.
1:25 am on November 10th, 2009
I found some of the kids myspace pages and based on comments from one of her daughters, it appears that they are in foster care and she is very upset about it as well as what her mother did.
9:00 am on November 10th, 2009
Yea, better your kids than those animals!
10:10 am on November 10th, 2009
It makes no difference. A life is a life is a life. Why is a kid’s life more important than a dog’s? At any rate, authorities ARE looking into allegations that she abused her kids as well.
10:45 am on November 10th, 2009
this is y i dont pay taxesAre your children in the public school systems?
Do you live and drive on a city/state maintained public roads?
Access to local 911 emergency fire/rescue, ambulance and law enforcement departments?
Are you on a public water/waste system?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then FUCK YOU!
Those of us who do pay taxes are footing the bill to make up for people like you, who think it’s not your responsibility to pay your own way.
12:16 pm on November 10th, 2009
agree with siobhan 100%
Lovemybaby927- normally people who are charged with animal cruelty don’t end up going to jail but are given probation instead. Obviously some people are jailed but it’s very rare. So much for your “omg jails are crowded by animal killers” theory. Also, please pay your taxes. If those are your children in your picture, I don’t appreciate having to pay for them. You made them not me :]

lovemybabe927
Your poor kids, momma is on welfare, nice example to set. Bet your parents were on it too. I just love these liberals, it’s always nice to pay your fair share; however, it never seems to apply to them. Has anyone noticed that? They are the first to scream about helping, yet all they do is take, take, take, and when it comes to helping, they’re never to be found.
2:04 pm on November 10th, 2009
Come on, Jury. I am as annoyed by lovemybabe927 as anyone here, and her disjointed and uninformed comments do leave me scratching my head as to what exactly her point is, but it’s a stretch to turn this into a political thing. All she said is that she doesn’t pay her taxes, which makes her an irresponsible dumbass, but not necessarily a liberal on welfare. Who says people who are on welfare are all liberals, anyway? I would imagine most of them don’t care much about that stuff one way or the other. That is certainly the case with the ones I’ve met.
2:09 pm on November 10th, 2009
A CHILDS LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY ANIMALS BECAUSE ANIMALS RARELY HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO DO N E THING WORTHWHILE…CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE DUH NOT A DOG.
AND I DONT PAY TAXES BECAUSE IM ON DISABILITY, YES IM INSANE LEGALLY…BUT MY HUSBAND DOES PAY. YES, THOSE R MY KIDS AND NO TO PUBLIC SCHOOL, PRESCHOOL NOT FUNDED BY THE STATE. AND IM NOT ON WELFARE, I DONT KNOW WHYD U WUD THINK THAT.
MY STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON MY PERSONAL VIEWS THAT THE SYSTEM IS FUCKED UP, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME BEING, OR NOT BEING, A LIBERAL. AND ALSO UR COMMENTS ARE UNFOUNDED BECAUSE U KNOW DIDDLY SHIT BOUT ME. IM STUDYING TO BE A DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE COUNSELOR. I WANT TO STRENGTHEN OUR COUNTRY, ITS MY CHOICE AND RIGHT TO BELIEVE THAT ANIMALS ARE ANIMALS AND NOT ENTITLED TO THE SAME RIGHTS AS HUMANS.
IT WUD BE SMART TO INSTEAD OF BADGERING MY COMMENTS TO COME UP WITH UR OWN, RELATED TO THE STORY/ARGUMENT, AND TO STOP MAKING UNRELATED ASSUMPTIONS TO TRY TO PROVE A POINT
2:13 pm on November 10th, 2009
Ditto. My favorite part is that she claims she fails to pay her taxes out of principle (cough*bullshit*cough), but what gets her goat is not the military industrial complex, or the idiotic war on drugs that leave the jails crowded with nonviolent offenders, but rather the fantasy that animal abusers are somehow punished disproportionately, rather than the truth, which is that in general they are barely punished at all.
It’s actually really amusing to me that anyone wouldn’t pay their taxes based on some stupid shit they made up in their heads.
Also, lovemybabe927, you should know that the IRS tends to frown on your worldview.
2:14 pm on November 10th, 2009
Uh, I beg to differ (I also don’t type in all caps). I consider my dog worthwhile and she has given me and my husband so much since we adopted her last year. As far as kids contributing to society, well, not all of them do. I am sure that the mothers of Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy thought their kids would amount to something some day, too.
Personally, I don’t care if you’re a liberal or a conservative but your comments about animals not having rights truly shows how reprehensible you are.
2:27 pm on November 10th, 2009
did you say ur on disability cuz ur INSANE LEGALLY…..and studying to be a drug and alcohol abuse COUNCELOR …..???
seriously? thats scary
2:30 pm on November 10th, 2009
oh btw…..maybe you should learn how to spell counselor…..if thats what u plan on being….just sayin
2:37 pm on November 10th, 2009
Maybe if I put this in a language you can understand it will finally penetrate your skull:
IT’S NOT A FUCKING CONTEST BETWEEN KIDS AND ANIMALS.
Animals abusers are not taking up space in jails that would otherwise be occupied by child abusers. They just aren’t, no matter how badly you want to get your panties in a wad about it, it’s just simply not the case. The “argument” you want from us is right here staring you in the face, but the problem appears to be with you and your lack of reading comprehension.
As for not paying your taxes, I’m a bit confused…you said it was because of the system being fucked up because it punishes animal abusers too harshly in place of child abusers. Now you’re saying it’s because you’re on disability and your husband pays. Which is it? You have two choices: keep digging, or cut your losses and move on.
2:44 pm on November 10th, 2009
I love caps lock…. It’s like an auto ignore feature.
3:06 pm on November 10th, 2009
aint it tho? lets try this again, i came in with all this when someone said she shud be locked up forever… my point in all of it was that if she just is facing animal cruelty then jail is a waste of tax dollers. she shud be fined and forced to seek help for whatever problems she has or claims to have. we all have a right to our opinion that is mine. id be all for paying taxes if tax money was being spent more wisely.
3:17 pm on November 10th, 2009
Have you hit water yet?
3:27 pm on November 10th, 2009
wat water? i process things literally and theres no water or mentioning of water. i dont know wat u mean.
4:09 pm on November 10th, 2009
wow lmfao
4:14 pm on November 10th, 2009
lovemybabe927:
Does this story look familiar to you? Or maybe the picture of the people in it? Strangely, it looks just like YOU. How dare you come in here talking about the welfare of children and animals. SHAME ON YOU!!!

For once I agree with you. Are tax dollars should be spent more wisely. I have no idea why you would collect free money, when there is nothing wrong with you, except having put the “foot in mouth syndrome.” You STEAL every month from everyone around you, and think it is ok, yet you blame our nice little system for giving you money to lie on your trash ass and play on the computer all day. Do you actually feel that someone else is not really entitled to money, or I guess you want it all to yourself?
You are disgusting human to the race. Off with your head!
Now Veronica, you are right. I did not mean to label her with others. I am just frustrated with this panhandler.
5:29 pm on November 10th, 2009
She is schizophrenic and they are on welfare.
5:36 pm on November 10th, 2009
Jessica, do you and your daughter have problems with lice or something? I can understand for you if that’’s the look you like, but why would you shave a toddler girl’s head? Good luck with DCF being involved AGAIN
6:42 pm on November 10th, 2009
As time has gone on today, Jessica, I am getting angrier and angrier about you. How dare you come on this board and spew your nonsense about how you “would pay taxes, if the money was spent more wisely.” I agree with you, it should be spent more wisely. You should not get one more cent of our tax dollars. What a complete waste of money it has been.
I’ve been wondering something. You admit you have “severe mental illness.” Knowing this and knowing you have the possibility of passing on that mental illness AND knowing you have no means to support yourself, let alone children, why would you so selfishly bring children into this world and then pay for them with our tax dollars? And then not even bother to take care of them???
Why would you do all of this and then live in filth and squalor and neglect those children?
Seems keeping your mouth shut on not posting on this board might have been a better option.
Just sayin’
7:30 pm on November 10th, 2009
i have defended myself since the beginning of my case. my daughter is heat sensitive, hair goes in the summer. wow did someone just realize im schizophrenic??? no im not on welfare, not that i havent tried. but all of this… is because u have nothing further to say? u know nothing about me, if u did u wud know why im involved for next 30 days with dcs. i seem to piss ppl off quite easily. its amazing that a site so open to freedom of speech but can have ppl that wud search for dirt on me just because i do not agree with the majority.
8:17 pm on November 10th, 2009
You didn’t answer any of my questions. And yes, I am a little pissed off. People like who who drain the tax system, mistreat and neglect children, mistreat animals – you are exactly the type of person who should be locked up (probably not in jail, but in a state mental hospital perhaps). Please, I beg of you to STOP POPPING OUT CHILDREN! Not only can you obviously not provide for them, financially, it’s clear you have no means to provide for them emotionally. If you like living in filth, so be it. But to have children and animals living like that? Really makes me sick. You should have been sterilized at age 13.
9:01 pm on November 10th, 2009
Thank you, NoWhining.
9:19 pm on November 10th, 2009
Still, u would allow a spieces to die to collect a check. were all animals on this plannet. JUST die horribly!
9:29 pm on November 10th, 2009
i work spring summer and beginng of fall. annual income almost 50,000 tax free on my part. i sell things otherwise being thrown taking 20percent. in the winter i collect coats and give them away to ppl who cant afford one. i used to babysit and my husband works on weekends. ironically, i also clean houses and do minor home repairs. both my children are baptized and although im strict ive been proven to be a capable parent. in no way were they neglected. it failed to make news when pictures of my house were unavailable in court. the lesson i learned is the past will always follow u. as for children, we are waiting until we both finish school and get a bigger place. we do not mooch off the government i have been ill since i was a tot however thrived in school and see that as my best chance to give the best to my kids. but, my children are in no way involved in this argument nor shud they be. its pathetic to involve them or even question my parenting over an unrelated argument. im done for the day here but feel free to myspace me with any other curiosity…while ur there u can look at pics of my children…
the children u think i shudnt have had apparently. once again, y dont u get all the facts before automatically assuming im a horrible nasty person. u really no nothing about me except whats in the news.

try reading that… a year earlier and forgotten 2day.

night yall.
10:54 pm on November 10th, 2009
You are lying about how much you make. You sell your unwanted crap and live off of disability. Does your husband have a job yet? Lastly, how much could you really make off the junk you sell and are you reporting that income?
10:56 pm on November 10th, 2009
So in January 2008 you had your kids tested for lead, and in November 2008 you had them taken away for living in a shithole. How does one have anything to do with the other? Except that you are too lazy to remove peeling paint that your little mouthbreathers were gobbling off the walls of your Better Slums & Crackhouses dump of a house?
You don’t work so you’re home all day, but you don’t clean up after yourself and I get the privilege of paying for your degenerate lazy family? Wow yeah, I wish I had the ability to say I don’t want to pay taxes because I don’t like what they go towards.
You are a piece of human waste my dear.
