FILE- In this Jan. 21, 2011 file photo, people watch a cock fight during the Jonbeel festival in Jagiroad, about 75 kilometers east of Gauhati, north eastern Assam state, India. A man was killed by a rooster with a blade tied to its leg during an illegal cockfight in southern India, police said, bringing focus on a practice that continues in some Indian states despite a decades-old ban.

HYDERABAD, India — A man was killed by a rooster with a blade tied to its leg during an illegal cockfight in southern India, police said, bringing focus on a practice that continues in some Indian states despite a decades-old ban. Cockfights are common in the southern Indian states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka despite a countrywide ban imposed in 1960. Animals rights activists have for long been calling to control the illegal practice, which is mainly organized as part of local Hindu festivals usually attended by hundreds of people, though the crowds sometimes swell to thousands. The cockfights are often held under the watch of powerful, local politicians and involve large sums of betting money.

According to police, the rooster involved in last week’s incident was among many other roosters prepared for the cockfight betting festival in Lothunur village.

kfdmnews Sure,blame the chickens .😢😣

GOOD! I hope more men die at the hands of the rooster! I think when they are caught. They should be forced into a ring and they have to fight to the death with box cutters.

cock 1, dick 0

It is a thing in the US as well.

What a way to die, said karma

Just maybe this will stop!

Karma.

Well deserved for their barbarism

Good

Cock fighting is really just about “cocks” fighting. Anything hoping a chick is watching.

So you’re telling me that a guy who tortured animals for entertainment and money was killed by a three inch cock or something? 💀

Cruel, evil bastards!

If you give a rooster a three inch blade, he's probably going to try to kill his abuser.

And I feel bad for the rooster.

I’d say that’s terrible but it really isn’t. It’s called karma

That’s what we call karma.

The rooster has been re-named, 'Karma.'

Don't fry the bird just yet, gotta hear both sides.

Great news

Good

Poetic justice

Karma is a bitch.

Cool

GOOD 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Fuck yeah!

Good news

No loss there. Cock fighting has no place in a civilized world.

Justice served.

Well done 👍

😂😂😂😂

The article states it stabbed him in groin, so alternatively the headline could read “Rooster wins cockfight”.

Okay, I'll say it. The chicken came home to roost.

Just desserts!!

now that’s a cool cock 🥰

Still happening in a lot of southern US states!

I don't know why but I found this funny

🤣

Good

Justice delivered

Yay!

Always nice when you hear Kama has been served. Go the roosters!

Not seeing a problem here. Give that rooster a trophy and let it live out it's life

I can honestly say I’ve never seen a cock fight in my life

I was sure it would say it happened in Florida.

Had to read multiple times 😂 I kept imagining this scene

🎶 'They came to snuff the rooster....but he ain't gonna dieeeeee......' 🎶

kung pow chicken 😀

Live by the cock, die by the cock

👍

Humans are disgusting in their treatment of the nonhuman animals. This behavior will probably kill us all.

This is what you report on Not the divisive Farmer’s Protest that’s been going on for months in India, but this...

Lol, I would like to know what the booky put the odds on that fight!

Replying to Jamie24272184 - the AP thought this was newsworthy, just as you did.

Needs to be banned. Very popular in Philippines.

Karma

That’s one dangerous cock

You mess with the cock, you’re gonna get the blade.

Killed by COCK :)

Best story EVER!

No great loss there, give the rooster an award and let him live the rest of his life in peace. More animals should turn on their abusive owners, including those who hoard them.

Cock-a-doodle-doo.

Yay for the rooster

Human 0 rooster 1

Hey ...Why you want to ban everything ?!!

OH THATS WHAT IT MEANS WHEN THEY THE CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST NO TEARS HERE THEY KNEW BETTER THATS CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, LOL WHAT DID THINK WOULD HAPPEN

Well done cock. Hope you get your freedom. Unfortunately, In Spain, when a bull wins - they get slaughtered. They get tortured and slaughtered when they don't win, also. I hope rules in India are more favourable to you, cock.

Well played, Rooster.

The dudes in India need to get laid more.

IndiaMan dies a champion, again defeating FloridaMan.

Cockadoodledoo.

Hooray, hooray The cockfighter dies Hooray, hooray The cockfighter dies And nobody cries, nobody cries Because we all want the rooster to survive 🐓🙂 (h/t: Morrissey officialmoz 'The Bullfighter Dies')

👍🏻🐓

Cock kills man via cock should be the headline.

Rooster's like you call that a knife 😂

HeidiBeedle Critical support for this rooster

Sounds like fowlplay.

Probably found out his owner bet against him.😆

prometheuswire Welcome to Trumplandia

Fuck it! Arm more chickens and let them loose! Teach those fuckers a lesson!

Cockfighting is right here in SoCal. Moving these birds around caused an outbreak of Virulent Newcastle a couple years ago, resulting in a quarantine that meant those of us with hens for eggs or raising meat birds could not get any birds for well over a year.

Was it Little Yerry Seinfeld?

Good for the chicken

jasonChampton 'we are also pleased to announce that the man has also won the 2021 darwin award. we will be contacting the family'

A Well Deserved Darwin Award.

Karma 😉

Good to see nature rewarding humans for their stupidity

Kentucky fry that, bitch!

WTF is wrong with people?!

Having an un implemented law is equal to not having it in the first place.

Karma.

Karma

Should have cut the rooster in on a bigger portion of the winnings.

good

Good

It occures in California, according to gossip at the hospital i used to work at.

Don't bring a cock to a knife fight

Good. The ass got what he deserved. BTW, though illegal here in the states, this crap still goes on!

GOOD!

Karma.

Please,dont take the rooster to the justice👌👌

This is karma !!! Awesome for the bird!!

Dullards.

Good.

Shouldn't be cock blockin'...

Rekt

Thoughts and prayers big man.

Send the nba over there. It’s just as bad of a product ClayTravis

Best news all day

Schadenfreude go brrrrr

I had to read that again.

My parlay finally paid off. I'm rich.

Karma is a bitch.

jedimarkus77

To everyone on here saying that this is a good thing, did you ever stop to think that this might’ve been this person‘s only source of income? Have any of you urban dwelling progressive idiots ever even been around these types of roosters This is literally all they know.

Oops.

Second cock amendment needed

Thunderous applause

That's right, Foghorn Leghorn was just showing us the G-Rated version of what a rooster is capable of ... 😃

Men

I’m okay with his death.

Good

Darwin award

This happened a couple of years back too, people never learn.

It’s called cock fighting for a reason

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

The amount of money generated from these fights is astronomical. It's just sad that the rooster paid back the owner and killed him. Fate or coincidence?

if i tell u a rooster dips snuff, look under his wing and u'll find a can . and they carry knives too ..

Good justice for ABUSING innocent animals

Giusta pu dizione per il padrone.

Good rooster.

And karma strikes again!

A rooster?

Better ban knives.

RubyGonzales2 It sounds like the rooster took care of the problem. Perhaps they should arm more roosters.

Indian man trying to one-up Florida man

I really hope the roosters name is Karma
