Well Done, Reynard The Foxy
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.
Fox-hunting is popular in the picturesque farming region of north-western Belarus which borders Poland.
Let's hear it for the fox! And if medals are going the rounds, why not one for the fox for courageous resistance to an obviously life-threatening situation?
