![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Pedro Martinez was caught on camera tossing roosters into a cockfight -- and now, PETA is throwing a high, hard one back at him for the deed.
In a letter obtained by TMZ, PETA slams Pedro for setting "a terrible example" for fans, especially the kids, and points out that Major League Baseball discourages its players from gambling of any kind.
What's more, say the animal-rights folks, roosters used in cockfights have their spurs shaved off and replaced by razors, and they're pumped with steroids to make them more aggressive -- sounds a lot like baseball!
The future Hall of Famer was pictured bringing roosters into the ring as an honorary saltador, as the New York Post reported, with Hall of Fame pitcher Juan Marichal. Cockfighting is legal in Martinez' native Dominican Republic. The Mets had no comment this afternoon.

Why are so many of your headlines so verbally suggestive? It's like you cant write one headline without it suggesting some body part or four letter word.......I am sure you TMZ writers probably think it's clever and funny. Guess again.
Go down south and you'll see how common this sport is you yanks. Its like George Lopez said its not like the loser goes to waste. They cook him up and have a mighty feast.
Bob. My name is the same forwards and backwards:
My neighbor is a brainwashed PETA freak. She told me she eats her own poop for energy.
That's just wierd.
This is NOT a Sport!!!! #12 He should be tossed out of Baseball for good. Animals can feel and have feelings. This is just as bad as dog fighting. I hope he burns in HELL!!!!!!!!!!!
