STOP BEAR BAITING!
- by: P.A.W
- recipient: Help PETA to have a campaign to end this blood sport
Bear baiting is possibly the world%u2018s most savage blood sport. Teeth and claws removed, bears are tied to a post and set-upon by trained fighting dogs. All in the name of entertainment.
Usually held at local fairs in Pakistan, this cruel practice pits dogs against bears that have had their claws and teeth removed. The extraction of teeth and claws in itself is a cruel and agonizing practice, which the bears recieve no painkillers or numbing medication. Before the fight, the bears are tied to a post which renders them defenseless to the dogs%u2018 frenzied attack. 2-6 dogs are forced to attack the bear. The fight lasts about 3 minutes, and the bear must fight many times a day. The bear wins if he/she is able to stand up throughout the fight. The dogs wins if they are able to knock the bear down. If the bear loses they are forced to 'dance.' Living up to 40 years in the wild, bears only live 3 or 4 years in Pakistan. Babies are seen curling up with their face in the dirt and their paws over their head trying to protect themselves. Please help stop this savage blood sport today.
We the undersigned,
All who have signed this petition, would like you to begin a campaign to end the blood sport known as 'Bear Baiting' where a bears claws and teeth are removed and then attacked by 2-6 pitbulls. This is taking place in Pakistan and nothing or nobody is standing up to these sick people to make them stop! Please help us in our efforts!
Thank you
