A cockfight fighting event turned deadly for one man.

Thirty five year old Jose Luis Ochoa - died after he was stabbed by a rooster. The blade attached to the rooster hit Ochoa's right calf .

From the Bakersfield Californian:

"An autopsy Wednesday revealed that the accidental death was caused by an injury to Ochoa's right calf, according to a Kern County Sheriff's Department news release."

"I have never seen this type of incident," said Sgt. Martin King, a 24-year veteran who noted the major arteries that could have been severed. "People have been known to bleed out from those injuries if medical attention is not obtained immediately."

LOL. Ah say, ah say, ah say now, that’s one for Ole Red!

To digress but slightly, what is your opinion on hunting?

I wouldn't go hunting myself but I'm not upset that other people do. Hunting serves a valuable purpose in that it keeps wild animal populations under control. If it weren't for hunters, wild animals would likely outbreed their food supply and die of starvation. So in that respect hunting is actually humane.

Ahh so now you throw personal insults. So much for this high moral ground you are pretending to be on.

Such a shame.

[driftdiver]

Well said

“Inflicting agnozing pain on any living creature for someone’s sadistic amusement is cruel and inhumane. “

And yet you are glad this guy died.

Of course I don’t condone animal fights. Neither do I put animals on the same level as a human. Animal fights are largely a cultural thing and were quite common in the US not so long ago.

Hyperbole isn't much fun when you're on the receiving end, is it? Perhaps if you would cease your unfounded accusations, tone down your innuendo, and stop distorting what I say to try and prove your point, we could carry on an intelligent discussion. In which case I'd be happy to treat you with more respect.

I take it you’re not a fan of Darwin.

[driftdiver]

You accused me of hyperbole. Where is the hyperbole?

[randomhero97]

From the link:

“People have been known to bleed out from those injuries if medical attention is not obtained immediately.”

It appears this individual didn't seek immediate care after he was stabbed in the calf. I don't think this qualifies for a "violent, bloody, death." Bloody, obviously, but violent not so much. Not unless you want to humanize this animal.

[driftdiver]

I’m not the one humanizing the animal.

He bled to death after being stabbed. Sounds violent and bloody.

[driftdiver]

You’re funny.

[randomhero97]

Where is the violence? Hell, it could of been an accident. I very seriously doubt the rooster planned this stabbing. So you can throw premeditated out the window.

Here is the deal, your MO is to show up in animal abuse threads and hijack them with the "well, how many children were aborted today blah blah blah." That's the very definition of a troll. It just seems to bother you to no end that some people actually care about animals.

[driftdiver]

Talk about hyperbole.

I’ve NEVER brought up “well, how many children were aborted today blah blah blah.” so that makes you a liar.

I just detest ‘animal lovers’ who equate animals with people and then clamor for the humans death.

[abbyg55]

You’re funny.

I'll take that as a compliment. It was a pleasure jousting with you.

[randomhero97]

then clamor for the humans death.

Should take your own advice.

I’d rather hang the fraudsters.

IMO the leftists must be destroyed.

Yes, and there are positions reserved for the homosexuals as IED detectors.

Time to hang some lying cheatin professors.

You’d let him bleed to death? Thats much too pleasant of a way to go.

Strike where they sleep and let the survivors gather in the mosques. Then bomb the mosques. “NUKE MECCA NOW!”
no no no,
wait until their annual gathering.

It’s still obvious, despite your smarmy reply, that you are committing the sin that Paul preached against: worshipping the creation rather than the Creator.

Animals have no souls, and a man doesn’t deserve death because he kills an animal...whether through trapping, fishing, hunting, fighting them together or slaughtering for food.

By linking that mans’ death as a just punishment for his sins to chickens, you are declaring man and animal morally equivalent, and they are not.

If you can’t respond to this without a smarmy, slimy tone, please don’t bother replying at all...thanks.

I reserve my “smary, slimy replies,” as you put it, for posters who are persist in distorting what I say and splitting hairs ad nauseum. I am normally civil in my posts on FR, but I have my limits. Let’s just agree to disagree and leave it at that.
