At each event she would be tethered to a pole, enduring at least three rounds of fighting dogs trained to attack her. While each round lasts only three minutes, before judges decide whether the dogs or the bear ‘wins’, in reality none of these animals win — bear or dogs.

Sincerely, Josey Kitson Executive Director World Animal Protection Canada

P.S. When we started our work to save bears from baiting, just 16 years ago, there were an estimated 1,000 events being held. But thanks to World Animal Protection supporters like you, only nine bear baiting events were held in 2013! You can achieve amazing progress for animal protection. Please donate now.
