Fighting Back

Cock-fighting -- not what you think, the kind with real roosters -- received a severe hit recently in Kern County, California.

It has been long derided as a cruelty-to-animals blood "sport", but finally there seems to have been some revenge on the part of the chickens.

An autopsy has shown that local cock-fighting entrepreneur-and-legend-in-his-own-mind Jose Luis Ochoa died as the result of being stabbed in the leg by ... his own rooster!

Okay, maybe not his own rooster, but Ochoa was definitely stabbed by a razor-spur-wearing bad-boy rooster and bled out about two hours later.

In the words of the rooster involved [translated]: "Take that, motherfucker!"
