This is the moment hunters purportedly shot at vegan animal rights activists as they tried to save a stag 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!'
