Dear Friends,

Showing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) is informing the Kentucky State Police Post 7, and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office about an upcoming illegal cockfight outside of McKee, Kentucky on Saturday.

SHARK is giving law enforcement authorities specific map coordinates to the fight building: (37.48358, -84.05938)

You can put those coordinates into Google Maps and look right at the fight building.

SHARK has also provided the following explicit directions to the illegal pit:

“From the Jackson County Sheriff's Office in the center of McKee, KY, go 5.9 miles north on US-421 towards Sand Gap. After passing 4847 US-421 on the right, the pit property driveway is on the left. Deer Stable Church of God is too far.”

SHARK is informing the Kentucky State Police in advance because even though we called on the day of the fight, the KSP failed to stop the last cockfight at Josh Smith’s pit three weeks ago on May 7, 2022.

SHARK is also exposing a disturbingly close relationship between Jackson County Sheriff-Elect Daniel Isaacs and Josh Smith, the owner of the illegal cockfight pit.

SHARK has made numerous efforts to contact Sheriff-Elect Isaacs by phone and email. Isaacs has failed to respond. We’ve also made numerous attempts to contact Jackson County Attorney by phone. The county attorney has also failed to respond. Welcome to Jackson County, Kentucky!
 

We are asking caring people to contact the following
Jackson County authorities:

Kentucky State Police Post 7:
859-623-2404

 The Jackson County Attorney:
606-287-0000

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office:
606-287-7121
 

Let all of these offices know that the whole world is watching what is going on, and we will not sit back idly while corruption plays out in Jackson County.

Thank you for helping these roosters!

These trips are exhausting and traveling is expensive. Funds are needed to keep locating and shutting down cockfights, in addition to all of our other work for the animals. We can't help the animals without you! Please donate here.
