DELANO, Calif. (AP) -- A California man attending a cockfight has died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird that had a knife attached to its own limb.

The Kern County coroner says 35-year-old Jose Luis Ochoa was declared dead at a hospital about two hours after he suffered the injury in neighboring Tulare County on Jan. 30.

A few years ago on this same topic somebody posted a pic of Colonel Sanders holding a huge KFC bucket with the caption,

“Try Our Bucket-O-Loser Special!”

Anyway, just thought of something outside of all the emotional arguments pro and con cockfighting: are the winning gamecocks allowed to fertilize the hens and thus improve the gene pool? This dumb question was probably answered 4,000 or so years ago.

Maybe it’s not all about cruelty and betting, just sayin’.

How about doing your job and telling some of these members to knock off the sarcasm. I’m sick and tired of the sarcastic responses members give around here that go unmoderated. I didn’t start it. I never have. I just respond. Do your job.

Sarcasm isn’t prohibited in the posting guidelines. Profanity is.

Sarcasm is a big problem on this site and it escalates. I don’t have to accept anyones unwarranted sarcasm. Maybe you should consider changing the posting guidelines. Maybe then you will receive more donations.

Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry, or any other materials offensive or otherwise inappropriate for a conservative family audience. Free Republic is a non-commercial site. Please do not post advertising, solicitations, spam or any other commercial messages. Do not spam us with links to your own site. No one likes spam.

The responses I received in this post went to a personal attack against me. Read the replies. If your going to admonish me for profanity then it is only fair that you admonish these others for waging a personal attack. Maybe you should review the posting guidlines yourself and take measures against others who instigate these attacks. In other words do your job.

So pointing out bad grammar is a personal attack? What's next, if you make a factual error and someone points that out, it's a personal attack as well?

Grow a thicker skin. Or just learn to ignore such posts if they bother you so much.

“usually fights were over in less than a minute.” Very much like street knife or bottle fights. That stuff on TV is amusing....
