EUGENE MICHAEL MCQUADE arrested for animal cruelty for the umptheen time

- Rhode Island, USA -


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!
