Bear Baiting Wednesday August 15, 1591
Many enjoy the sport including William. He says “for a sport that is so violente, and blood thirsty it is really quite a entertaining event to watch."
Today was a day were some special dogs were put to the test. That's right today is the annual bear baiting championships. These dogs are raised to be vicious, and stealthy, but still very much part of the family.
For those who don't know bear baiting is a blood thirsty sport where a bear is chained to a post to defend itself against trained bulldogs. Sounds like the dogs wouldn't have a chance against a large bear. Wrong these bears are blinded, and have there teeth and claws ripped out. Doesn't sound so unfair now does it?
There is many bear bating tournaments, but today is the championships. The dogs participating are the best of the best. These dogs have the will and determination to win.
The championship is in the town hall, starting at 7:30 sharp.
To place bets on certain dogs there will be a booth in city hall
