Fox shoots man

Thu Jan 13, 2:50 pm ET 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.

COMMENT: Humans are predator animals; we have eyes in the front of our heads - giving up wider field of vision for depth perception - and, although we eat some plant food, we definitely need to eat some animal food to be healthy. PREDATORS ARE NOT PREY. Hunting foxes - our fellow predator animals - is COMPLETELY unacceptable.


Those who cannot tell the difference between predators and prey are not fit for existence.


P.S.
Yeah, keep telling yourself it was "accidentally", asshole.
