A man who was at an illegal cockfight in central California died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird which had a knife attached to its leg, officials said.

José Luis Ochoa, 35, of Lamont, California, was declared dead at a hospital about two hours after he was injured in nearby Tulare County on 30 January, the Kern County coroner said.

A postmortem concluded Ochoa died of an accidental "sharp force injury" to his right calf. Sheriff's spokesman Ray Pruitt said it was unclear if a delay in seeking medical attention contributed to his death.

Attending or organising a cockfight, or training an animal to participate in one, are all misdemeanours under Californian law, although a second offence is a felony.

Karma.

Chicken karma.

I can't see it selling all that well, to be honest with you.

I can hear the hypocrisy from here.

nowhere in this board I have said I would like to shoot cats in the head with an air rifle

I take it the air rifle pointed at the back of their heads was edited out, pity.
