Has this been discussed on here already? If so, my appologies and please feel free to lock and mock.

Does this change anyones opinons of the great man? I always thought of him in a slightly gay way, viewing him as a perfect human being capable of floating on water and resurrecting himself. I was pretty horrified when I read he's on the internet shooting a deer dead and talking about how he loves doing it. But then I thought about it more and I'm less disappointed, but I would certainly have preferred not to have read this about him.

It's already been discussed on Redvee,some are against it(inc me) and some are not bothered.

Massive sihtstorm in a cup on RedVee about it.

Not a bit. Don't see anything wrong with it. People (especially men) have been doing it since the first human walked the earth and I'm quite sure a lot of them enjoyed it!

If they kill and eat, then fair enough. Not really a fan of kill for the sake of killing though.

Why would anyone have a problem with it? People will be ganging up on players when they buy meat at the supermarket next, I'd say that is far worse for the animal than it being shot in the wild.

Only my opinion but I despise those who enjoy killing for fun.

Great player, the greatest I've seen, but very much went down in my estimation when I read this.

But meat for a human consumption is on some level excusable because it's for a reason. Tesco's don't slaughter cattle for giggles, which is essentially what Keiron and his buddies are doing here. Killing for a laugh.

He eats (or his family eat) everything he kills. Whether he enjoys the process of hunting it or not, why should anyone (especially those who eat meat) dictate where he gets his produce from? I find that extremely arrogant considering the conditions that the majority of purpose-bred animals are subjected to.

Tesco don't slaughter cattle for giggles I'm sure, but the deer would have had a far more enjoyable life than if it had been bred at a Tesco farm.

No problem with me. He's apparently hunting in the correct manner and indeed eating what he's shot. He's revelling in death or torture of some poor creature.

Other posters are right, people aren't criticised for eating meat from the supermarket, but I'm sure the free range deer KC's shot has had a better time of it than one of tescos "2 for £5" chickens.

Why do/enjoy it? A sense of getting closer to nature and the countryside? Knowing exactly where his food has comefrom?

I appreciate some people wouldn't enjoy it and don't like to the thought of it, but to deride it imo is not only naieve regarding where peoples food comes from, but also rather insulting to a lot of countryside practices which have been in place for years.

Don't know what the fuss is about, he eats what he kills, and as people said far better way of living than eating supermarket vacum packed crap.

Saints should buy a job lot of thoses antlers people always buy at Christmas and give them away with every shirt sold with a number 9 on the back

I don't have a problem with it. KC has a really bad habit of pulling his head away after pulling the trigger, but he's a very good shot (after seeing the video)

If he's killing stuff to eat then he's only doing what we all do by proxy when we buy and eat meat products.

Have to say I'm a bit disturbed at the amount of pleasure he seems to derive from the actual killing though.

That article only states that he eat what he killed when he was a kid, not currently. Does he say differently in the clip? I've not watched it and I'm unlikely to.

Massive sihtstrom in general let alone on RedVee.
Its one of his hobbies, its not illegal so leave him be

ITV have been round town asking people what they thought...stopped my mum, only trouble is, she didn't know anything about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

said it was 10 times better than scoring a try at wembley,just proves he is a bigger prick than longy was

saw this is the paper today, was quite surprised to see a rugby league player take up a whole page...unfortunatly its the wrong publicity!!

for me its cruel shooting deer for fun.

This isn't about him providing food for his family. This is about the joy and pleasure he gets from taking another living creature's life. He maybe a great RL player, but for me he just belongs to a scum part of society that get their kicks from a blood sport.

No, cant believe that !!!!!!!!

I hate hippies





I have been hunting and we all ate what we killed, that's what Cunningham will do they dint go into the woods blow a deer away and just walk off.

Maybe Fat Boy should go and join our boys in Afghanistan where the prey fire back...see what "buzz" he gets from it then...

The big smile on his face whilst holding the dead deer by the head is the killer for me. The outrage on this website from those who hate fox hunting for sport is somehow missing on this one. Cunningham is killing for sport and enjoyment. It may be legal, but it's bloody sick.

No it isn't sick at all, the animals he has shot will have had a far better life than a cow/pig or chicken that's full of all sorts of drugs to make them bigger for meat fir people to buy in little packets in tesco.

Keiron enjoys shooting - the deer he shoots will be eaten, whether by him or others - it's too expensive a commodity to bin it. If people like him didn't shoot there'd be less deer anyway as their numbers are boosted by ones that are bred so they can be shot. They lead a nice life till they get shot, in their natural surroundings. So what if he he enjoys it?

Alternatively you can live in the world where many chickens live in dire horrific conditions, yet you eat chicken nuggets/kievs etc and their eggs. Or you can eat a bacon buttie off a Danish pig that lives in a crate so small it cannot even turn round. But you can still clamber up that ladder onto a 20 foot tall horse to condemn people who enjoy hunting.

Unless you are a dedicated veggie or vegan or a meat eater who eats only organic free range produce I cannot see how you can condemn him without being hypocritical.
