| | | One up for the hunted
Just saw this video clip on MSN of a stag having his revenge on a hunter.
Could be like the Queens of the Stoneage video if you know what I mean! MSN Video

I'd need to download IE6 to watch it and I use Firefox. Never mind. I love it when animals get the upper hand (so to speak) in those situations.  |

I'll be careful what I say, but it's nice to see a slightly different outcome when the brave and fearless game hunter isn't 150 metres away and armed with a hunting rifle.

Knew they could be aggresive during the rut but never thought they would go that far.

Oh yes - kinda of puts your faith back where it belongs. On a much more tame note but sort of along the same lines, I love it when a horse chestnut tree throws its "obblie onkers" at unsuspecting passers-by - its nature getting its own back on us. Lets face it the human race deserves a slap in the face and a ticking off now and then - and that deer certainly gave the hunter his best shot!! |

He got out and shook his fist at the tree
As for the stag, he could have done more damage with his antlers!
A few years ago a big fishing boat was sunk when it's catch of mackerel made a sudden dive for it, that made me smile

H + S gone mad again.

Yep BWD, some council cut them down because they were a danger to the public.. another banned hanging baskets for the same reason.. dispite the fact that the town had become known for them over the past 50 or more years without anyone being hurt by them!
jaki
PS Honeybee.. wonderful bit of vid. wondered why the hunter was doing very little to defend himself tho... he could surely have had a go back... wonder if he was hurt by the stag.

Unfortunately it is not H&S gone mad again,  but the local council protecting itself from an imminent claim by the undesirables in society.
People can successfully make compensation claims for injuries and suffering sustained by this sort of thing.
(it's also one of the reasons why I'm getting out of the H&S game - too much paperwork and too many court cases that are settled out of court, not because your company has done wrong, but beacause it's cheaper to do so!)
I'll be smiling again in February when I start a new job.

It never ceases to amaze me that some of our European neighbours enjoy watching this sort of thing and aren't in any way concerned about the cruelty of it all.

As for that bull with his horn up that guys backside, good for him...notice he's got a few swords stuck in him...horrendous, surely it's torture (makes me sick to be part of europe) abeit traditional
