Prodigy front-man threatened by hacker group over alleged enthusiasm for fox-hunting
Dancer and vocalist Keith Flint, famous for his distinctive spiked hairstyle, has found himself the subject of attention from Anonymous.
THE FRONTMAN OF The Prodigy, one of the most popular dance groups of the 1990s, has been called out by hacking group Anonymous regarding his alleged interest in fox-hunting.
Keith Flint, a dancer with the band and vocalist on two of their biggest hits Firestarter and Breathe, has settled into a more gentrified way of life in recent years.
Anonymous it seems object to Flint taking part on a fox-hunt recently.
Whoops!

The group have issued a (somewhat graphic, so viewer discretion is advised) video giving Flint one year to mend his ways.
“This is a message to Keith Flint. It has come to our attention that Keith has a fetish for murdering animals,” the video states.
It has come to our attention that Keith has been rubbing shoulders with Tory criminals whilst out fox-hunting.
Keith likes the torture and killing of animals. How ironic. Keith killed a deer. Now Anonymous will politically kill Keith.
The message narration also calls Flint a “murderous f***wit”.
“You still have a chance to change your ways Keith. One year should do it. Expect us.”
Flint for his part seems to be taking the threat seriously.
In a Facebook post on The Prodigy’s page Flint refutes the idea that he has killed any animals.
Message from Keef Flint: ‘In regards to a story going around about me right now – yes I live in Essex and have a couple of horses. I went riding with the local trail hunt, it was a ride out and NO ANIMALS WERE HUNTED OR KILLED, so my conscience is clear, it wasn’t my thing and I won’t be going again.
Whether the story will end there remains to be seen.
