Did the rooster get bail, or was it deemed a flight risk?

Yes. I think you’re on to something. Maybe we need to fit lions and giraffes with lasers.If only this could happen to every trophy hunter.
My ex's brother in-law took me to see some when we visited her relatives in mountain country Kentucky. They took it pretty serious...weigh ins, claw wraps, blades and needles attached to little ankle belts, gambling, etc. They had a battle cage with walls inside a barn. It's a dry county (minus moonshining) where they lived. Would tell me you people go to bars on Saturday nights for fun over here we have our chicken fights.Wasn’t long ago that cock fighting was still legal in some states. They’d put blades or more often little rubber boxing glove looking things over their spurs.

- Hey Dad, what's "Karma"?
- Well Son, it's like you arming your cock to kill other cocks but it attacks you in the cock and killing you.
Rooster fitted with blade for cockfight kills its owner in India
Bird with 3-inch knife attached to leg inflicts fatal injuries to man’s groin

A rooster fitted with a knife for an illegal cockfight in southern India has killed its owner, sparking a manhunt for the organisers of the event, police said.
The bird had a knife attached to its leg ready to take on an opponent when it inflicted serious injuries to the man’s groin as it tried to escape, officers said. The man died from loss of blood before he could reach a hospital in the Karimnagar district of Telangana state earlier this week, local police officer B Jeevan told AFP.
The man was among 16 people organising the cockfight in the village of Lothunur when the freak accident took place, Jeevan said. The rooster was briefly held at the local police station before it was sent to a poultry farm.
“We are searching for the other 15 people involved in organising the illegal fight,” Jeevan said. They could face charges of manslaughter, illegal betting and hosting a cockfight.
Cockfights are banned but still common in rural areas of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Odisha states – particularly around the Hindu festival of Sankranti. Specially bred roosters have 7.5cm (3in) knives or blades tethered to their legs and punters bet on who will win the gruesome fight. Thousands ]of roosters die each year in the battles which, despite the efforts of animal rights groups, attract large crowds.
