In California, a man was killed after being stabbed in the leg by a rooster chicken.  The rooster was competing in an illegal cockfight near Bakersfield, California when the incident occurred.  The man, Jose Luis Ochoa, was cut open by a blade attached to the rooster's leg after the crowd was scrambling when police arrived at the event.  Cockfighting, similar to dog fighting, is illegal in in all 50 US states as well as many other countries.  Razor blade, knives and other weapons are often attached to the birds so the birds fight to the death.  In this case, Jose was the loser.
