A rooster has been jailed in Honduras after causing
chaos when he invaded a neighbour's field. The bird
was caged by police after his owner got into a fierce
row with another man in the city of Trujillo in the
northern Honduran department of Colon.
Officers incarcerated the cockerel after it raided a plot
of land, climbing trees and shattering the peace with
loud cries.
Resisting arrest: The rooster was captured and put in
jail after invading a patch of land in Honduras, sparking
a row between his owner and an angry neighbour
The land owner threatened to silence the offender - only
for the owner to retaliate by warning: 'If you kick the
rooster I will kill you.'
The row escalated and concerned neighbours called
police, fearing the men were about to hurt or even kill
each other.
Instead of arresting the men, officials captured the
rooster and took it to the local jail - promising to free
him only when the men reached an agreement.
A picture shows the brown and black cockerel
wandering around its cell and looking out through the
bars.
