Guys...
I saw this and could not believe it. I suppose this is where we get a ''sly old fox'' or cunning as a fox'' from. Had a laugh imagining a daft hunter/poacher fighting this fox and its paw pulling the trigger!!! wonder if the anti hunt lobby will now demand that foxes hunting humans is or, should be banned. lol

Fox shoots man
Yesterday, 07:47 pm
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. Skip related content
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.
