Could it be a case of vigilante justice – what a bizarre story coming out of Tulare County, California. Jose Luis Ochoa was stabbed to death while attending one of his favorite past times and the American tradition of prize championship Cockfighting.

According to the National Post, the 35 year-old suffered a deep knife wound in his right calf caused by one of the birds involved in the fight, who just happen to have a blade strapped to its leg. Ochoa died two hours later in hospital.

I thought cockfights were fair and just competitions between two consenting roosters…when did knives get thrown into the mix?

As one of the law enforcement officials pointed out — that particular area of the leg is home to major arteries, which means there would be substantial blood loss if not treated immediately. So why the delay? Because the cockfight was crashed by sheriff’s deputies. Ochoa fled, along with the rest of the participants.
Authorities, acting on an anonymous tip, found five dead roosters and other evidence of cockfighting at the location.

Rumor has it that Ochoa had bet big money on the other rooster. Forgive me but I have no pity for this man.
