Dear Friends,

What I’m about to share with you about the cruel and illegal bloodsport of U.S. cockfighting are FACTS the abusers hope you NEVER discover.

Imagine...

You are ripped from your mother and

father when you are only small. Chained to barrels outdoors. Exposed the elements. Denied any contact. Pumped full of growth drugs.

As you grow, you’re forced to be aggressive. Locked in a fighting pit. With “gaffs”— the equivalent of razor blades — strapped to your little legs, pain and terror are your teachers.

Your lesson?

Destroy other roosters, the bloodier the better. Or suffer and die trying. Punctured, blood-filled lungs. Broken bones. Eyes plucked out. Half-alive losers are tossed in a heartbreaking heap.

Cockfighting is illegal in all 50 U.S. states and all 16 U.S. territories.
But the pain and fear continue, and I urgently need your help to
EXPOSE the abuse of chicks and roosters... END the suffering... and PUNISH the abusers!

PLEASE donate as generously as you possibly can now to ([link removed])

help stop the horror of U.S. cockfighting. ([link removed])

Because here’s the ugly truth the abusers don’t want you to know. There’s a reason why cockfighting is a felony in a number of states… including the stomach-churning animal cruelty, fights are linked to everything from gambling to methamphetamine trafficking.

Even homicide!

Half-alive birds tossed in a bulldozer, fighting to the death in dirty pits... your urgent gift now ([link removed])

will help us end their abuse! ([link removed])

Our work is deadly and dangerous. But to truly end the torture and horror of cockfighting, we cannot rest. We MUST keep SHARK’s surveillance drones in the air!

The roosters and tiny chicks have no one else but us to help them. ([link removed]) [link removed] caring donation now – whatever you can give! – is literally a lifeline. ([link removed])

The generosity you show will help purchase critical, custom-equipped surveillance drones that can run upwards of $14,700. Plus, controllers for the drones that cost nearly $2,000 each — and high-resolution cameras used by our undercover teams for in-pit footage.

We also need as many $369 recharging stations and special flight batteries as we can afford to purchase, and high-capacity video cards in bulk, at $50 per card, to capture fight footage that is CRUCIAL EVIDENCE in sharing with federal authorities and major media.

Whether you donate $50... $500... $1,000... or more, EVERY dollar you donate makes a massive difference because EVERY compassionate dollar directly defends against cruelty. ([link removed])

And as a friend to SHARK — as someone who believes in and supports our vital mission of SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness, ([link removed]) all ([link removed]) animals! — ([link removed]) you KNOW we will not quit. ([link removed])

In California...Arkansas...Oklahoma...Alabama, and other places... as you read these words, cockfighting events and the suffering they bring continue.

We urgently need your help and your love today to shut them down.

For all the roosters and chicks who deserve so much better,please donate. ([link removed])

Thank you for always SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness — and thank you for whatever you are able to donate.

P.S. Even the names of the cockfights will make you sick. There’s “blinker derbies,” where survivors who’ve lost their eyes are tossed into the pit to fight. And “battles royale,” when all the injured roosters left alive are locked in the ring, no matter how painful or gravely wounded. It’s a bloodbath that’s as gruesome as it sounds, and it only ends when one bird still stands. I can’t bear to think we’ll miss even a single chance to shut down these vicious events. ([link removed]) Please donate now to help keep our brave teams on the ground and our anti-abuse drones in the air. ([link removed]) [link removed] your help, together we WILL end the abuse. Thank you for being a friend to SHARK! ([link removed]-
