** DEAR FRIENDS,
------------------------------------------------------------

Scared. Lying. And on the run!

THAT’S what your outrage, your generosity, and your tireless commitment to END the shocking sport

of cockfighting in the US has reduced its merciless ringleaders to – and here at SHARK we could not be more grateful for your unflagging support.

But after almost half a decade in this quest to see cockfighting shut down forever, we are witnessing

cockfighters getting truly desperate.

They are making it personal, resorting to ANY means to keep fighting pits open.

I urgently need your help now – as generous as you can possibly give – to stop cockfighting ([link removed])

criminals from getting a toehold with lawmakers. ([link removed])

Whatever you can send today will be put to work immediately to keep SHARK’s undercover teams on the road and our surveillance drones in the air despite mounting costs.

Roosters are being mangled and abused in pits every weekend.

We cannot step back now, no matter how they try to intimidate us. ([link removed])

And believe me, they are trying... ([link removed])

Only weeks ago, the so-called “Oklahoma Game Fowl Commission” posted FAKE NEWS about me

being arrested (see image at right), to try and ease the minds of cockfighters that SHARK and SHARK

supporters were no longer a threat to their cruel and criminal deeds.

In addition, the self-named “Commission” put out a reward for my conviction – AND I’ve been

physically chased by violent, maniacal cockfighters in an attempt to intimidate us!

ALL so these abusers can chain roosters to barrels outdoors. Expose the poor birds to the elements to “toughen them up,” then pump them full of growth drugs and force them to fight.

With razor-sharp knives strapped to their legs, these roosters must fight to the death. Their eyes are plucked out. Their bones, shattered. Losers are tossed half-alive in a heartbreaking heap.

It’s because YOU have never turned away all these years that cockfighters are now desperate. They are trying to sweet-talk lawmakers. They are threatening our work.

We can’t stop now! In Mississippi, we have four fighting pit locations that seem to be permanently shut down. In Kentucky, there is now a Bill on the floor to make all “animal fights” a felony – not just dog fights, but cockfights too.

With your urgent and generous donation now, we’ll be able to keep up our surveillance until the last,

illegal cockfighting pit is closed. We’ll be able to keep our teams on the road and our drones in the air. We’ll

work with state police and lawmakers, and push for change.

And NO COCKFIGHTING CRIMINAL will scare us off! Will you be our sword and shield... will you end the suffering and abuse of fighting roosters... will you help us shut down cockfighting forever?

For every animal forced to fight, give generously now. To end animal abuse, we will walk through fire. But we can’t keep working without you. ([link removed])

Thank you for always SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness — and thank you for whatever you can give, ([link removed])

PS. Make no mistake: this work is deadly dangerous. Including the horrifying animal cruelty, cockfights have been linked to everything from gambling to methamphetamine trafficking. Even prostitution and homicide! But to truly end the torture and gore of cockfighting, we cannot rest – and we will not be intimidated. We MUST keep SHARK’s anti-cruelty drones in the air and active!

Your generous gift can help save lives. ([link removed])

Please consider making a donation today and showing kindness that will make a difference. Thank you for your support. ([link removed])
