COLOMBO, Sri Lanka -- Sri Lankan state run television yesterday reported the valiant efforts of local law enforcement in the raiding of an illegal cock-fighting bookie joint. Everyone at the joint had reportedly chosen to flee on seeing the law headed in their direction, but three chickens were taken into custody. ["Soodu poley sitapu siyalu denaama palaa giya athara kukulan thidenek polis baarayata gannaa ladi" as originally reported.]
It is reported that the prisoners are now being tortured into revealing the identities of their masters. The RSPCA who intervened in the matter reported the fowl conditions in which the captives were being held. They had been locked up in a cage and shown explicit photographs from The Great Chicken Cookbook, whilst an endless stream of KFC ads played on a nearby giant video screen.
The three grumpy prisoners however refused to make any comment apart from the fact that they were in quite a soup, and when our reporter attempted to get further details he was rudely told to "cluck off"...

Clucking hell! This is Absolute Buffoonery (AB). No doubt the suspects will now be presented before a magistrate as required by habeas corpus X-(
It also appears that the local constabulary has set a precedent. Just yesterday in Ridgecrest, California Republic, a chicken was issued a citation for crossing the road. However, a loophole in the law has enabled it to walk free.
This reminds me of potential dialog between Fox Mulder and Dana Scully: "Scully, you saw the chicken cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens must cross the road before you believe?" On that paranormal note, we conclude this comment.
