LUCENA CITY––A cockfighting aficionado died Sunday, May 22, after a rooster’s gaff accidentally hit him inside a cockpit arena in Tagkawayan town, Quezon province.
Quezon police said Ronnel Nator, 47, was about to release around 2:50 p.m. his game cock for a fight with another rooster in Tagkawayan Cockpit Arena in Barangay San Vicente.
Nator’s rooster suddenly went berserk, and his bladed gaff accidentally hit the right thigh of the handler.
The victim was rushed to a local hospital but did not make it alive due to excessive bleeding.
The rooster’s gaff is a sharp blade fixed to its leg for fighting.
