Fox shoots man - the best thing I have read all year!
A wounded fox pulled off a miraculous escape from a hunter - by shooting his would-be killer in the leg. The animal, which had already been shot, somehow managed to pull the trigger of the double-barrelled shotgun with its paw as the hunter was battering it with the butt to finish the animal off. The unnamed hunter, 40, who had been hunting in the Grodno region of Belarus, remains in hospital with a rather embarrassing leg injury while the animal made its escape. The condition of the fox is not known, but at least it can choose its final resting place after fighting back and setting off the gun. An investigator said: 'The animal fiercely resisted and in the struggle accidentally pulled the trigger with its paw. Fox hunting is popular in the farming region of northwestern Belarus, close to the border with Poland.
The country itself is a popular destination for hunters wanting to shoot several animals, including elk, wild boar and even wolves. Daily Mail What a brilliant story. It is a pity it wasn’t a head shot, but still credit to the fox for getting its own back on a sadistic torturer. Tameside Citizen

Calm down TC and show some respect for Belorussians pursuing one of their traditional national pursuits. Their country, their business.
Fox shoots man as Labour shoot themselves in the foot. Click the link to see classic Labour waste in Knowsley
Dirty tricks again by Labour as nearby Manchester Labour Council chooses the by-election day to announce their job losses.
Fox hunting doesn't really interest me but I'd bloody love to go whale hunting. Imagine manning and firing that massive harpoon into a sixty foot whale. 'Thar she blows!' 'Ssssss...Thunk!'
The other main parties have their flaws goodness knows, but Labour are pure scum.
I once went coon hunting and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Those raccoons are tricky little varmints.
Anyone who could fire a harpoon into a whale deserves to have the harpoon turned upon themselves.
you kill to live not for fun
TC,
I am starting to get the impression that you are some kind of dodgy, 'animal rights' fanatic. You describe the hunter as a "sadistic torturer" and you say, "it's a pity it wasn't a head shot."
I've noticed your extreme attitude towards 'animal rights' from some of your other stories.
What is your view of Huntingdon Live Sciences?
'whatsoever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it."
Told you these foxes were dangerous animals needing some form of control ;)
Kill it to eat it.
Just my opinion.
Hope the police don't come round, because I'm against killing the wildlife for pleasure.
Hi Food Chain. I do not consider myself an animal rights fanatic in any way, shape or form. I am opposed to wanton animal cruelty, especially when it is the perpetrated in the name of ’sport’ or religion.
With regards to HLS; you should have asked me would I refuse life saving medication in the full knowledge the product was created using data from animal experiments carried out at facilities administrated by HLS, the answer would be no. But saying that, I do oppose animal experimentation - especially when it is carried out for non-life saving research.
I did describe the sadist who accidentally got shot by the wounded fox as a torturer, and I stand by that accusation. If you read the article you will see the despicable creature was in the process of battering the fox to death when the gun went off. Would I have lost any sleep if the attacker had his head blown off - not a wink. Live by the sword - die by the sword! The sadist embarked upon a mission of death and unexpectedly the Grim Reaper nearly paid him a visit rather than the defenceless animal he was attempting to kill.
I used to have no time for what many now refer to as ‘tree huggers’. I thought of animals as just a commodity to be used by humans - ignorance truly was bliss. When you discover animals are actually thinking beings with their own personalities, fears and anxieties, it is not so easy to treat them as just a commodity there to be exploited and abused.
The way I see it is; we are lucky to be right at the top of the evolutionary tree. We are the supreme rulers of this planet. We have the power of life and death over all other inhabitants of this planet. In a nutshell - we are all powerful and as we know with power comes responsibility. Surely our status as kings of all animals should lead us to use our wisdom and rise above innate animal instinct. If we are going to kill animals we do it to survive - not to fulfil sadistic bloodlust that lies deep within the psyche of our being?
TC, so you DO oppose anumal experimentation for scientific and medical purposes but you WOULD use it yourself. Forget the hypocrisy, we're all capapble of a bit of that, you sound confused. Isn't the truth that, all 'moralising' aside you're against it because of your own personal squeamishness. In other words because YOU find it unpleasant it should be stopped. That's not a reasoned argument and consequently is totally unconvincing.
Injecting chemicals into animals isn't nice to look at but that doesn't make it any less necessary if we want to progress.
