Cockfight death

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12393125

A man attending an illegal cockfight in California died after being stabbed in the leg by one of the birds, officials have said.

The cock had a knife attached to its limb to take part in the gambling fight in Tulare County, central California.

Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, was declared dead in hospital where he arrived some two hours after being injured.

The coroner's report said he had suffered an accidental "sharp force injury" to his right calf.

It was not immediately clear if a delay in seeking medical attention was a factor in the death.

"I have never seen this type of incident," Sgt Martin King, who had worked in the sheriff's department for more than two decades, told the Bakersfield Californian on Sunday, when the incident happened.

Other dead roosters and materials suggesting cockfighting were found at the location, reports said, but no arrests were made.

Mr Ochoa, reportedly a regular participant in organised cockfights, had already been fined for owning or training an animal for fighting, according to court records cited by the newspaper.

Though cockfighting is illegal in the US, California is a popular destination state for people involved in the sport as raising the gamecocks, organising matches and attending fights as a spectator are all classified as misdemeanours on the first offence, rather than more serious criminal offences in the state.

HAHA!

wut

Fucking Tulare and them Mexicans. So pathetic.

died from being stabbed in the calf? that's like dying from a .22 gun shot in the ass. fucking pussy.

my college roommates family runs shit in the cockfighting world in polynesia. Since he was 5 he has had chores that included training, feeding the roosters, etc.


Its all cultural. Dont judge people because your cultural morals think that their culture is morally wrong.

well mike vick is back in the nfl so i wouldn't say we're that upset with forced animal fights.

LOL at moral relativism. just because it's subjective doesnt mean i can't determine that it's fucked up (not to mention retarded, i mean really, if youre going to pit two animals to fight to the death, at least pick an animal less retarded than a cock. they have to attach knives to them to even make them deadly?)

well a lot of people think making animals race each other is morally fucked up. because its subjective means you can only determine for yourself if its fucked up. hell do you think its fucked up to eat dog? other cultures think its fucked up if you eat a cow. its a big world out there, boy.

fair enough...you can judge for yourself


but knives are actually more humane. they train the birds to fight with the knives or they would peck each other to death slowly.

besides the two birds naturally want to kill each other. Seriously, they have a natural instinct to kill another male on site. Its like jersey shore except less tanning and hair gel.

good points, minus the gratuitous condescension at the end of course

haha. yeah those are good points. do the birds actually make good slashes or is it sort of a slapfight and eventually a lucky shot will connnect to a throat or something?

^^^^see post above that no one embed

depends on the fight, but its usually a war of attrition. Not real pretty

mexicans and their cock fights

"As long as the Almighty has permitted intelligent men, created in his likeness to fight in public and kill each other while the world looks on approvingly, it's not for me to deprive the chickens of the same privilege."
-Abraham Lincoln

Word on the street in the world game cocks is that Abe Lincoln got the nickname "honest abe" for his honest work as a referee in the pit (cock fighting ring).

I am a bit jaded on the subject, I grew up around game cocks and have been to my fair share of cock fights. Cock fights are not fun places to be, full of sketchy people and dead chickens. I would also like to say I have seen many roosters kill each other outside of the ring, usually over a few scratch grains. Game cocks are straight up brutal and born to kill.
