On January 3rd, 2021, two investigators from SHARK drove to a suspected illegal cockfighting operation in Lawrence County, OH. Soon after arriving, SHARK President Steve Hindi was violently attacked, suffering multiple injuries including a head injury requiring six staples and a broken rib. Another investigator was pursued by cockfighters who rammed his car multiple times sending the car out of control into a ditch. These were two attempts of murder. SHARK is demanding a full investigation and maximum prosecution of all appropriate charges.
