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.
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 on Thursday, 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.
