April 7, 2005 -- HULK Hogan is demanding that boxer Roy Jones Jr. "lay off defenseless animals" and give up cockfighting. The pro wrestling icon, who lives with a rooster named Lily, was enlisted by the Humane Society to send Jones a letter chiding him for buying a cockfighting pit near Franklinton, La. Jones, who modeled his masterful boxing style after fighting cocks, has raised roosters on his Pensacola, Fla., farm for years. "Cockfighting is cruel," Hogan wrote. "It's not a sport. And it's not something a champion like you should be involved in." |
