DEAR FRIENDS, 

As we enter 2022, SHARK is already planning our upcoming trips to expose and stop animal killers. Unfortunately, our funding is significantly limited and our work can only continue with your help. Please donate here.

The following is the last part of SHARK's 2021 Year in Review mailer. See the entire mailer here.

On November 12, WKRC’s Chief Investigative Reporter Duane Pohlman did a great in-depth story about SHARK while exposing both cockfighting and corruption in Ohio. See it here.
 
Duane repeatedly called Lawrence County Sheriff Jeffery Lawless and Prosecutor Brigham Anderson to ask questions about the illegal cockfighting and lack of investigation, however, neither responded. The bottom line is - Lawrence County Ohio’s top law enforcement officials are deliberately covering for, and protecting cockfighting, which is illegal throughout the country, including in Ohio.

A new book by Pauline Marie Gambill was published this year that deals with SHARK President Steve Hindi's work fighting for animals.  

"The FOX FEATS and SHARK TALES of Pollution Fighter James F. Phillips and Animal Rights Warrior Steven O. Hindi is an extensive and absorbing look at the lives and achievements of two courageous and fearless individuals...The book delves into the early lives of Phillips and Hindi and looks at what drove them to a fierce and relentless dedication to their causes. Their journeys were not without serious and dangerous obstacles, and—in Hindi’s case—even resulted in physical injury. In addition to the telling of the men’s intriguing histories, visual images provide an important peek into their lives and work.” 

You can find the book on Amazon.com. Please note that neither SHARK nor Steve Hindi receive any money from the sale of this book.

 

SHARK created the Beagle Salvation campaign to expose and rectify the plight and suffering of dogs imprisoned at massive breeding facilities. These dogs, no different than the ones we live with in our homes, are fated to be used for experiments - to be tortured and killed.

SHARK has done ground-breaking work with our drones at breeding factories in New York and Virginia, where we filmed overcrowded cages littered and stained with feces and urine. We filmed how these stressful conditions lead to fighting and repetitive, erratic behavior. We also captured hours of heart-breaking audio, of these dogs howling and crying through the day. 


SHARK’s video has been covered in the news, such as this story that aired on TV in Virginia

We want to shed light on more of these prisons and the cruelty committed within them. We want to create enough public pressure to force changes to not only how these dogs are treated, but to replace dogs with valid, non-animal means of testing which are much more reliable and safer for humans. This is the 21st century, not the dark ages. It’s long past time we started acting like it. 

These dogs deserve freedom from a life of suffering. Please consider making a generous donation to SHARK to support work that no one else is doing here.

 

What you have read in this mailer is just a part of what we do; every day we are working on tips, researching, planning campaigns and producing videos exposing animal abuse. We are active 7 days a week, day and night, traveling across our country, fighting to save lives. No one does what SHARK does, but it is incredibly expensive to maintain this level of activism.


SHARK drone pilots on site,      SHARK's boat, the Bob and Nancy, has
documenting cruelty                 been used on many important 
                                                   campaigns to save lives, including for
                                                   cownose rays and cormorants

There are groups out there that rake in millions every year and spend almost none of it on animals. Instead, they pad their own bank accounts with the hard-earned money of people who only want to help the animals. SHARK’s team of investigators, however, will never get rich from our work and no one comes close to making the six-figure salaries that most high-profile animal groups dole out to their executives. As for myself, I have never taken a penny from SHARK and in fact, have used hundreds of thousands of dollars of my own money, from my retirement fund, to keep SHARK afloat throughout the years. That’s how much I believe in our work.

Those days, however, are over. If SHARK is to continue to score victory after victory for animals, then it will only happen with your help. I ask you to compare what you have read here with any other group and judge for yourself the value of your donations. Please donate here.

As always, the lives we save, are the lives you save.

Sincerely,
