In a never-heard-before incident, a wounded fox shot its would be killer in Belarus by pulling the trigger on the hunter’s gun.
According to media reports, the bizarre incident occurred in the country’s Grodno region while the hunter was trying to kill the already wounded animal with the butt of the rifle.
As the pair scuffled, the fox accidentally pulled the trigger with its paw and the bullet hit the man, sending him to hospital and making its escape, the Telegraph reported. The unnamed hunter, who had approached the fox after injuring it from a distance, is being recuperating from his leg injury in a local hospital, the report said, citing prosecutors from the region. “The animal fiercely resisted and in the struggle accidentally pulled the trigger with its paw,” one prosecutor was quoted as saying.

26 yrs later, Dire Straits song banned
London: Dire Straits cult hit number Money For Nothing has been banned from Canadian airwaves, 26 years after its release, for being “extremely offensive” to gays and lesbians.
The song written by Mark Knopfler, contains a derogatory slang and can now no longer be played in its original form, reported Daily Mail online.
Any station that wants to play the song will have to edit it or disguise the word, according to a ruling by the Canadian Broadcasts Standards Council.
The decision came after a listener complained that the broadcast of unedited version of the song, which mentions the word three times, was extremely offensive to gay, lesbian and bisexual people. —PTI
