During the incident in Kakinada, Gande Suryapraksha Rao, the 43-year-old owner of one of the fighting roosters, bled to death after being slashed by his prized cock.
Rao reportedly tied blades to his rooster before it became intimidated by the crowd. The bird then flew up and landed on Rao, causing the blades to severely slash his leg.

Although the man was rushed to a local hospital, he was later pronounced dead.
In a separate incident in the East Godavari district, a spectator identified as K. Padmaraju also bled to death after he was slashed in the hand.
Padmaraju, who was a resident of Ananthapalli, was reportedly standing too close to a cockfight when one of the bladed roosters sliced a key nerve in his hand.

Sharp kawks

I've been to a few cock fights. Dad took me when I was a kid. Those blades they put on their feet are insanely sharp. The fights can be absolutely brutal and the aftermath can be horrifying. I won't comment on these folks though because I might be modded. It's a horrible practice and people who engage in them are terrible.

people die from dumb, cruel, preventable stuff like this all the time, but will never stop with cock fighting (and other types of animals fighting to the death), which is really sad and messed up.

So... did the bets on those roosters still pay?

To be entirely fair, I never said no to him. To be honest, I found the whole thing fascinating especially since it was an underground thing with all sorts of money going around. I was a kid though and didn't understand how terrible they were. I was never the only kid at those things either. They were ran like any other sporting event with concessions available.

Literally psg, wsp

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

Don't multiple people in India also die from razor kites every year? Someone needs to introduce them to board games or something.
