SHARK Showing Animals Respect and Kindness

Every weekend, our investigators travel the country doing what we do best; gathering the evidence of criminal animal abusers and getting them shut down.

In May, SHARK teamed up with investigators from Animal Wellness Action in Georgia to expose the heartless millionaires at another live pigeon shoot.

Kentucky, Texas, Mississippi and Ohio are just a few states where we have been exposing illegal cockfights and calling law enforcement. Arrests have been made and birds have been confiscated, saving them from having to fight to the death.

Boone County has been our primary focus when it comes to rodeos. There have been some improvements, but much more needs to be done. Animals are still being abused on a weekly basis and we will not stop until they are treated with the care and dignity they deserve.

[In steer tailing, riders grab a steer by the tail, wrap his tail around their boot and stirrup and attempt to force him to the ground. The flesh on the tail may be torn off the underlying bone, an excruciating injury called “degloving.”]

This is how you stop animal abuse, you go to where it is happening!

Groups with literally hundreds of times our resources are doing little, if anything, in the field, which is the place to stop animal abuse.

Gathering the evidence is only the beginning. We spend the next several days going through the videos, documenting every detail, and contacting the appropriate authorities. Just in time to turn around and get the gear ready to go again for the next weekend.

It is a vicious cycle, but it is how things get done!
