Hunter gored to death by cornered deer in rare attack





A hunter has died after he "was charged and pierced by a deer which stabbed him with his antlers". Regis Levasseur had cornered the animal in France's Compiegne forest, about 50 miles north-east of Paris. Police said 62-year-old had been acting as a beater, who help to flush out and corner prey, during the hunt. He was unarmed. "Normally the animal would flee, but this time he decided to charge," Guy Harlé, president of the local hunters' federation told The Local. "It came after him. "The antlers of the stag are like many knives piercing you, there is nothing you can do. This tragic accident reminds us that we do not play with a wild animal. There is an inherent risk with hunting." Mr Levasseur had reportedly been due to get married in the next few months. "For him, hunting was more than a hobby; it was his life," said Mr Harlé.





Female hunter found dead after apparent suicide




A female hunter has apparently taken her own life after she was reportedly threatened by animal rights activists on social media. Melania Capitan, from Catalonia, Spain, regularly posted on her blog, which was followed by thousands of people, explaining and detailing her hunting methods. The 27-year-old’s posts attracted much controversy and she had been subjected to threats online. Ms Capitan left a note and called her friends to say goodbye before taking her life, the Daily Mail reported. The exact details of the letter have not been revealed but reports suggest her death was not linked to the harassment. As the news of her death spread, many took to her Facebook page, which has more than 32,000 likes, to leave comments apparently welcoming the news.
