Rooster Kills Man Attending Cockfight
http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2011/02/0...cockfight/
A California man attending a cockfight has died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird that had a knife attached to its own limb.
The Kern County coroner says 35-year-old Jose Luis Ochoa was declared dead at a hospital about two hours after he suffered the injury in neighboring Tulare County on Jan. 30.
An autopsy concluded Ochoa died of an accidental ââ¬Åsharp force injuryââ¬Â to his right calf.
Sheriffââ¬â¢s spokesman Ray Pruitt says itââ¬â¢s unclear if a delay in seeking medical attention contributed to Ochoaââ¬â¢s death. Tulare officials are investigating, and no arrests were made at the cockfight.
Cockfighting is a sport, illegal in the United States, in which specially bred roosters are put into a ring and encouraged to fight until one is incapacitated or killed.
