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.

Deer Crashes Through Window, Chaos Ensues

 A doe jumped through a window in John and Loretta Starkweather's living room on Monday in Castro Valley, California.  John, after taking a few pictures, tried yelling and throwing pillows at the deer to push the scared deer through the open front door. Instead, the doe, frightened beyond belief, continuously attempted to flee through a sliding glass door (unopened) to no avail. Eventually, John and Loretta got the animal to run out the door to freedom. 

"It was running fine, no legs flapping or anything," he said. "But it must have a sore head, after the way it was hitting that door." Read the rest of the story here.
