DEAR FRIENDS,
Two news stories ran last night that dealt with SHARK's hard work fighting against animal abuse. The first story covered SHARK's filming of horrific conditions at the new Tiger King zoo in Oklahoma.
SHARK made multiple trips in the past few months to the zoo and captured video of animals being fed vile and putrid "food," along with animals on the brink of starvation. In response to our filming of their zoo, the Lowes tried (and failed) to shoot down our drone.
Read the story here:

Watch our new video exposing the Lowes:
The second story that ran yesterday dealt with SHARK and the Humane Farming Association's newspaper ad campaign to expose and shutdown cockfighting in Kentucky.
"LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Two animal protection groups that have gone after cockfighting for the last two years are using advertising to try to raise public pressure to force law enforcement to act."

Please also remember that SHARK will be in Kentucky on the weekend of the 4th, patrolling cockfighting pits.
This will be one of the most dangerous operations we have ever conducted. These criminals stand to lose millions of dollars and life means nothing to them. That combination creates a potentially deadly environment, something we've faced before.

Constant pursuit of animal abusers is an absolute must. This is a large part of why SHARK is more productive then other groups. We don't sit in offices - we are in the field. Unfortunately, this costs money for fuel, food, lodging, wear and tear on vehicles and equipment. Travel isn't fun when you're chasing animals abusers. It's not fun at all, but it is vital to make positive change.
