Rooster kills man

Rooster kills man at cockfight
They don't get any stranger than this. Authorities in central California say a rooster killed a 35-year-old man while he was attending an illegal cockfight.
The man died after being cut by a razor attached to the rooster's leg. The leaders of cockfighting rings apparently attach these razors to roosters' legs -- which they use like knives during a cockfight.
When the sheriff's office raided the event, the rooster jumped at the man and accidentally severed an artery in his calf. He died at a local hospital. Authorities believe he's the first human killed by a rooster at a cockfight.
