via espn.comHamilton blocked, dissed UFC star who shot a pigLewis Hamilton publicly criticized UFC fighter Jon Jones for a video in which Jones shot a pig from a helicopter, labeling him a 'coward' and blocking him on social media. This interaction stemmed from a hunting trip Jones took with Army Rangers, where he expressed pride in his kill, which he later donated to a family in need. Hamilton's response highlighted his strong advocacy for animal rights and his preference for more traditional hunting methods.
Jones, reflecting on the incident in a recent interview, expressed regret over Hamilton's reaction and apologized for the situation. Hamilton, a long-time supporter of animal rights, has been vocal about his lifestyle choices, including his switch to a plant-based diet, and has received recognition for his advocacy efforts. The exchange underscores the differing views on hunting and animal rights between the two sports figures.
