God, or someone, has his ways.
Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, of Lamont, California, was killed by his own cock. He even armed it with the knives that caused his mortal wound.
Mr. Ochoa was declared dead at a local hospital nearly two hours after he was injured in neighboring Tulare County on Jan. 30, said the Kern County coroner. He had been stabbed in the calf by a rooster armed with knives, and several dead roosters and other evidence of cock-fighting were found at the scene.Tragedy or divine justice?
Apparently the weapon attached to the rooster's leg sliced into the handler's calf, causing the "sharp force injury" cited in the autopsy report.
According to Kern County Superior Court records, Ochoa had paid $370 in fines in 2010, pleading no contest to charges of 'owning or training an animal for fighting.' A second offense would have been considered a felony under California law.
Weapons used in inhumane cock fighting.
