MOSCOW - 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 on 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.Best wishes to wounded fox, here is hoping she or he recovers completely....
"Hunting": an example of a socially tolerated pathology wherein unnecessary violence is allowed (if not approved of and supported) by a culture. One of the many small and large elements in a society promoting the notion that "might makes right".
