Calls to boycott Arsenal after owner Stan Kroenke launches 'sickening' blood sports TV channel showing hunters killing elephants and lions
Arsenal's billionaire owner Stan Kroenke has sparked calls for supporters to "boycott" the club after launching a "sickening" bloodsports TV channel.
The new subscription channel, called My Outdoor TV (MOTV), costs around £7.60 per month and offers a host of hunting and shooting programmes.
Dubbed the 'Netflix of the hunting world', some of its shows see gun-wielding presenters shoot dead wild animals - including critically endangered species.
In one scene, a man armed with a Smith and Wesson reportedly kills a lion under a tree before declaring: "This is the most exciting hunt I have ever been on."
In another, a guide apparently praises a presenter's "good shot" as they wait for a hartebeest to die after it was fired at with a bow and arrow in South Africa.
