Dear Friends,
There is a very large cockfight tonight in McCreary County, Kentucky. The pit is called Honest Abe's, which is interesting, as there is nothing honest about cockfighting, or the criminals involved.
Active cockfight
SHARK President Steve Hindi called the Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 11 this morning and advised them of the illegal event, but no action has been taken, even though Steve followed up with another call over an hour ago. Here is the specific information on the cockfight:
Honest Abe's Pit (pictured below)
303 Low Gap Road, Pine Knot, KY
Coordinates: 36.66301, -84.37399
This is an active cockfight that will be going for a while unless we can pressure Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 11 to do their job and shut it down! This must be stopped!
This pit appears to have the protection of the local sheriff and state police. The local sheriff absolutely will not return our calls, and the state police have protected the operation when we were there, making certain that we could do nothing to interfere with the illegal activity.
Please call Sergeant Foley at KSP Post 11 at:
606-878-6622
and demand they shut this cockfight down now!
Please let us know what response you get.
Thank you for your help for these roosters!
