Hunters have Hindi where they want him
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, March 1998:
WOODSTOCK, Illinois– – Hauled
to the McHenry County Jail in striped shirt
and jeans on February 4 for alleged contempt
of court, Chicago Animal Rights Coalition
founder Steve Hindi may spend the next five
months writing his memoirs––if he isn’t
killed.
Noted for daredevil undercover
videography and for flying the CHARC
paragliders between oncoming geese and
hunters at the now defunct Woodstock Hunt
Club, Hindi, 44, stays alive by accurate risk
assessment, and when he called ANIMAL
PEOPLE the night of February 17, there was
more worry in his voice than editor Merritt
Clifton had heard before, in frequent conversations
that began soon after Hindi, then a
hunter himself, saw the 1989 Labor Day
pigeon shoot at Hegins, Pennsylvania, and
was so appalled that he challenged organizer
Bob Tobash to a fist-fight.
