All the little fishies in the sea, and all the roosters on the chopping block, all Allah’s critters gotta testify! Cockerel spared after ‘crowing Allah’. (Hat tip: Cool Breeze.)

A cockerel in the Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan has saved itself from the pot after crowing what its owner claimed was “Allah”, the Arabic word for God.

The two-year-old rooster was set to be turned into chicken soup after its owner, Ibragim Ismatullayev, found it to be extremely aggressive.

However, Mr Ismatullayev has said that as he put the knife to the cockerel’s neck, the bird “screamed” and, on hearing this, his five-year-old son said “dad, it’s saying ‘Allah, Allah’.”

The sound of the cockerel was then recorded on a mobile phone, and its life was spared.
