Rooster kills Indian man during banned cockfight

By Thomas A. Smith

HYDERABAD, India (AP) A man was killed by a rooster with a blade tied to its leg during an illegal cockfight in southern India, police said, bringing focus on a practice that continues in some Indian states despite a decades-old ban.

The rooster, with a 3-inch knife tied to its leg, fluttered in panic and slashed its owner, 45-year-old Thangulla Satish, in his groin last week, police inspector B. Jeevan said Sunday.

That will be the last rooster that fellow ties his knife to, I reckon.
