By the 12th century dog baiting was when they would release dogs into a ring with chained up bull's and bears. The purpose of this was so that the dogs would bite the bull and tenderize the meat for consumption. Dog baiting was very famous in England for centuries. In the early 19th century the growing cost of bull's and bears, as well as the growing concern of animal cruelty damped and put an end to this sport. In 1835 the British Parliament put a band on all baiting activities. But soon after the law was passed dog on dog competition became the new legal form of baiting. Fighting dogs were cross bread in order to create a faster more agile and vicious dog capable of fighting for hours at a time. Until this became illegal in the 20th century that is.
Reflection:
(I have nothing to say to this just questions)
Questions:
Who invented baiting?
Why did this person invent baiting?
Why was dog fighting legal at one time?
Why did dog fighting become illegal?
