Fox Shoots Man. Hunters beware. They're fighting back.

MOSCOW (Reuters) – A wounded fox shot its would be killer in Belarus by pulling the trigger on the hunter's gun as the pair scuffled after the man tried to finish the animal off with the butt of the rifle, media said Thursday.

The unnamed hunter, who had approached the fox after wounding it from a distance, was in hospital with a leg wound, while the fox made its escape, media said, citing prosecutors from the Grodno region.

"The animal fiercely resisted and in the struggle accidentally pulled the trigger with its paw," one prosecutor was quoted as saying.

Fox-hunting is popular in the picturesque farming region of northwestern Belarus which borders Poland.

Could be just the start of a massive strike back effort by all the wildlife. They probably read Orwell's Animal Farm and decided to start resisting.

This is why we here in the good ole USA have "hunters safety" courses...and why we bailed Europe out in two WORLD WARS...they can't shoot and kill ANYTHING

Heh. There is a short story by donaldson (the thomas covenent series author) along those lines as well, some nut scientist bio-engineered hands and smarts on animals & gave them guns. Pretty good read, but you may never go hunting again if you do...

This vid may be tedious depending on one's mood. Perhaps best tolerated after an evening beverage. The best part is the short punch line near the end, "Chickens in Choppers".
