SHARK investigators last summer found sheriff's deputies at Kentucky cockfights.
Hindi owns a rivet-manufacturing plant and has money to fight cockfighters via a nonprofit called Showing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) that he founded in 1994. Admirers have included Bob Barker, former host of "The Price Is Right," who donated $1 million to SHARK a decade ago after the group fought Pennsylvania pigeon shoots that continue, with SHARK still protesting the killing.
Hindi has been beaten up by folks who don't appreciate him showing up with cameras, and he's been arrested at least twice. He's been whipped with a dog leash while trying to stop a pigeon shoot. He posts recordings of death threats on SHARK's website. Eight or so drones used to document events where SHARK isn't welcome have been shot down, Hindi says.
