Rooster Allegedly Kills Its’ Owner With Blade
An Indian Rooster, meant to participate in an illegal cockfight, have been accused of killing its owner, multiple Indian media outlets reported on Saturday, citing local police.
The grotesque and tragic incident occurred in Telangana’s Jagtial district, when the bird, trying to escape from a cockfight, cut its owner’s groin with a knife tied to its leg, causing severe blood loss. The man was transported to the hospital and died on the way.

Cockfighting, involving fights between roosters, is illegal in India but nonetheless primarily takes place in January in the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh, including Krishna, Guntur, East Godavari and other areas. Sometimes, however, things go wrong in the criminally popular practice, like this time.
As cockfights are illegal, the incident sparked a manhunt for people who secretly organised the crime.

“We are searching for the other 15 people involved in organising the illegal fight,” a local police officer, B. Jeevan, told AFP.
The rooster was sent to a local poultry farm after being briefly held at the police station while the razors taped to its legs were removed. Some reports said that the bird was “taken into custody”, but police debunked the assertions, clarifying that the rooster was neither arrested nor detained.

Now that is what you call Karma. If you make little chickens fight with blades on their feet, you deserve all you get. Bad things happen to bad people.
