		<description>A very restrained headline, Boing Boing.  If this were a tabloid (except the UK&#039;s Daily Mail who would probably complain that the guy wasn&#039;t paying tax on the razor blades or something), I would imagine it would have actually read:

&quot;Californian guy killed by cock&quot;

in big bold letters, enticing the curious to read on.

That said, I&#039;m increasingly reading about instant karma and that of animals extracting their revenge on clueless humans.  Forget &quot;Rise of the Machines&quot;, it&#039;s more of a &quot;Rise of the Cocks&quot;.

With those bad puns out in the open, I bid you adieu..</description>

		<description>I saw cockfighting in rural Thailand recently. They actually tied back the talon to prevent them from damaging each other and separated them once one lost.

Not sure if the razor blades come out eventually.</description>

		<description>Having lived in an area that allowed cockfighting it was well known how dangerous some gamecocks can be if you get on their bad side. Or even just too close.  They&#039;re a VERY easily spooked, not at all caring of or for humans at all sort of bird. Totally not even comparable to the bird in recent TV ads that&#039;s got no nuggets. If you&#039;ve ever had a bred fighter take a run at you? It might forever change your perception of birds in general. 

In theoretical concept- breeding for fighters is supposed to be over and there &quot;should be&quot; no more of their kind around by one reading of such laws. In reality? there&#039;s several bloodlines of damned dangerous birds still around quite legally depending on state laws. 

I&#039;d not suggest underestimating what even an unbladed bird can do to an unsuspecting human or animal. If the bird&#039;s survived a few fights? Being around it if it&#039;s got blades strapped on is edging into Darwinbaiting even if you think you &quot;know&quot; that bird as they&#039;re not like a dog trainable to respect it&#039;s handler! Let&#039;s be honest here..humans setting animals upon each other as a dubious entertainment should be suspected of being sociopaths. 

In many cases we called it the Serial Killer Trifecta. Bedwetting of psych basis+Cruelty to animals+Pyromania. That grouping being a very high correlation to Mental Pathologies often strongly ending up criminally violent. The connection to the original article? Looking at the demographics of what sort of person is into animal fighting as entertainment should say a lot. 

I&#039;d go so far as to say perhaps the animals are more ethical than the humans due to a lack of pretending any claim to well- anything beyond bloodlust.     </description>
