Dear Friends,

When animal protection hero Bob Barker gave SHARK an generous grant a few months ago, we were determined to not only continue with our current efforts to expose rodeo cruelty, stop Pennsylvania pigeon shoots and deal with other animal cruelty issues, but to also go where no animal protection organization has gone before.

Because of the cowardly nature of animal abusers, cruelty often occurs unseen on private property or otherwise away from public access.  The air, however, is open to the public, with certain restrictions.

We did a lot of research to see how we could use this to our advantage, formulated a plan, and went to work.  Once again, SHARK has developed yet another revolutionary tool that no one else in our movement has to go after animal abusers.  After months of hints and anticipation, SHARK is unveiling Operation Angel - a fleet of remote controlled aircraft.


Armed with high definition video and still cameras, the Angels will expose animal abuse as never before.  Abusers will no longer be able to hide away from roads, in woods or behind fences.  Our cameras will catch them.



Operation Angel, while ready to operate now, is still in its infancy.  The program will continue to develop and refine as technology continues to advance. 

Rather then going into the details of what is to come, we'll simply show you results over the coming months and years.

This is the very beginning of something very, very big.  We'll soon post a YouTube video of the Angels, which will then be followed by video documentation gathered in the field when the Angels are used in actual evidence gathering operations.

We'll close this announcement with a special note to our opposition, many of whom subscribe to SHARK's e-mail updates:

Be warned - you can run, but now more than ever before, you can't hide.  The Angels will find you and expose you.  The Angels will especially focus on the cowards involved in Pennsylvania' s pigeon shoots, but they'll also be on the lookout for dog fighters, cockfighters and any other animal abusers.  These Angels are in effect hunters shooting only with cameras, and animal abusers are their prey.  We expect hunting to be very, very good.

Erdman Pigeon Shoot


As has been the case in Pennsylvania for decades, the June 6 pigeon shoot at the misnamed Erdman Sportsmen's Association showcased a bunch of cowards.

The continued allowance of this offense against any humane ethic by so-called leaders on both sides of the political aisle exposes a vacuum in Pennsylvania that spans from border to border.

SHARK investigators documented the Erdman blood festival, employing all three of our Hi-Pod devices to raise our cameras high into the air so we wouldn't miss a thing. 

We are now going through that documentation in anticipation of charges to be filed by Pennsylvania humane officer Johnna Seeton, who already has some two dozen charges filed against the same Erdman club for a shoot last year, again based on SHARK's video documentation.



The Red Cross Does the Right Thing



While at the Erdman slaughter, we noticed that a club sign placed in a futile attempt to block our efforts included a reference to the Red Cross - an obvious attempt to make it appear that the humanitarian organization somehow supported Erdman's cowardly animal abuse.




We contacted the Red Cross, and included a link to a YouTube video showing the cruel Erdman pigeon shoots.  As a result, the Red Cross has stated that it has ordered the removal of its name from the Erdman sign. 

SHARK thanks the Red Cross for saying NO! to any association with animal abuse!

SHARK Goes Where No Other Animal Organization Has Gone Before



SHARK consistently uses cutting edge technology to fight against animal cruelty, such as with the Angel helicopters, but the reality is that it is very expensive. We need your help if we are to continue to be the impressive, strong force for animals that we are.
