A federal grand jury has indicted an eastern Kentucky man who allegedly operated a cockfighting arena in Letcher County in 2021 and 2022. Two other Kentucky men and three people from other states were also indicted. Steve Hindi, the CEO and cofounder of Showing Animals Respect and Kindness, said the federal charges are good news – but compared them to taking a thimble-full of water from the ocean.
“The job really needs to be done by Kentuckians. This is a Kentucky issue. A Kentucky problem. These are Kentucky criminals and criminals coming from out of state.”
