Overview
- Jon Jones told ALF Global League that Lewis Hamilton sent a long direct message calling him a “coward,” then unfollowed and blocked him after footage of the hunt circulated.
- Jones said the episode took place in 2021 during a trip with Army Rangers in which pigs were hunted from a helicopter using AR-15s.
- Jones reiterated that the pig he killed was donated to an underprivileged family and that he issued a public apology for the footage in 2021.
- None of the recent reports include a new public response from Hamilton, who is widely described as a vegan and longtime animal-rights advocate.
- The retelling has revived public debate over hunting methods, celebrity ethics and a strained cross‑sport friendship that could prompt renewed fan backlash and media attention.
