Articles on the practice of bear baying (or the more descriptive term – ‘bear baiting’) – have cropped up of late from at least a couple of sources, including the Associated Press and GoUpState.com.
As a result of various anti-cruelty laws and regulations across the country, South Carolina is the only state in the nation that still allows this horrible practice. The GoUpState story reports on a video showing a black bear, with her teeth and claws removed, facing the wrath of several dogs while tethered to a stake.
