Hunters shoot at French vegan animal rights protesters who stepped in to save a deer

At one point gunshots can be heard in the footage before one of the activists shouts 'he is firing at us with a rifle', then with the animal having died of exhaustion. 'It's dead. It's dead,' one of them says.

JULIAN ROBINSON: ‘Hunters shot at vegan animal rights activists as they tried to save a stag (deer) in France. The clip, filmed in Castelnau-de-Montmiral in southern France’s Tarn department, shows campaigners trying to put themselves between the exhausted animal and a pack of dogs. At one point gunshots can be heard in the footage before one of the activists shouts ‘he is firing at us with a rifle, the b*****d!’ Amid tense scenes, a male voice can then be heard shouting in French: ‘The first who comes near is dead!’ The clip then shows protesters standing over the stag, with the animal having apparently died of exhaustion. ‘It’s dead. It’s dead,’ one of them says.

The footage, posted online by French comedian and animal activist Remi Gaillard, starts with someone shouting: ‘There’s the deer! There it is!’ Dogs can be heard barking in the background as the activists run to try to catch up with the stag shouting ‘No! No! No!’… Many have taken to social media to share their opinion of the video after Gaillard shared it on Twitter. One said: ‘I do not like Remy Gailard’s sense of humour, but in this, I support him 100 percent.’ Another added: ‘These f*****g aristocrats are really p*****g us off with their hunting from a bygone era’.’ SOURCE…
