14 people face second-degree animal cruelty charges after state police responded to a tip about cockfighting at a Casey County home on Sunday. According to arrest citations, several attendees tried to flee. Steve Hindi, the president and founder of Showing Animals Respect and Kindness, said his organization provided the tip – and troopers responded quickly.
“If you go in too early, they're not doing anything yet. Then they go, ‘Oh, we're just holding a show.’ And you don't want to go in too late because then all the animals have died. And it's kind of a little bit of a threading the needle situation, try and get it right.”
