Here we showcase some of the cockfighters and the owners of major cockfighting arenas that SHARK is aware of. Cockfighting is illegal in all 50 states, yet these bloody, barbaric events are ongoing across our country. SHARK will expose these illegal animal fighters like never before, and we'll work hard to have those involved held accountable under the law.
