Stan Kroenke launches blood sports TV subscription channel, 'My Outdoor TV'

Arsenal FC's majority shareholder, Stan Kroenke, has launched My Outdoor TV (MOTV) in the UK. Subscribers to it can watch animals being stalked and killed by people who like guns, snares and generally imposing their will on wildlife 'because they can'. If Mr K. thought the 'Wenger Out' saga was a major headache, he'd be well advised to stock up on super-strength migraine tablets.
Let the opposition commence...

Philippa King, Chief Operating Officer of the League Against Cruel Sports, said: “This is a massive own goal for Stan Kroenke. We’re living in a world now where most people can see how brutal and shameful (trophy) hunting is, yet the Arsenal boss is choosing to launch his sick TV channel in the UK ... Mr Kroenke could do the world a great favour by stopping pedalling this kind of sickening TV and turning his focus on helping the animals he apparently likes to see killed.”

    This is very odd. We probably have a couple of shows like this in the US, but most of our outdoors shows are survival based (like Suvivalman which is quite good) and they rarely, rarely ever kill anything because there is an underlying appreciation that for the life of animals and also THAT IT'S A BLOODY TV SHOW. If it doesn't work in the US, I don't see it working in the Uk.

    There's no such thing as 'blood sport'. It's just sadism. Inadequate people trying to prove how tough they are by taking it out on defenceless creatures.

    Or hunting

    To make it even worse, I heard a rumour they will be doing the whole thing while racing around on horses.

    Remember Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves, he used to fish and hunt rabbits and shoot birds.

    Can it be a hunting programme where they go after Arsenal fans instead, culling them a bit would do the Footballing community a world of good

    But this isn't about meat is it? It's about killing for the sake of killing.

    Not quite so simple. Where would you draw the line with this argument? Just animals?
    So if you don't like something you just stick your fingers in your ears and go 'la la la'. Not a great way to live IMHO.

    The animals they shoot need to be controlled anyway (whether they are injured or due to over population) and the dough these people pay to shoot these animals will go back into the park. You'd need to ask the people why they pay do it, it's not my bag, but at the end of the day it's called conservation

    Jack Hargreaves was a proper countryman, he would never have killed for the sake of it.

    Jack Hargreaves was born in Palmers Green. He was a fake. Like a kind of reverse Mockney.

    No you're thinking of fox hunting. Hunters usually eat their meat, especially elks, and kill them humanely.

    I think the channel is called trophy hunting which was pretty ambitious for an arsenal owner!

    You're dead so I have conserved you?
    Human population is out of control by the way.
