Bull-baiting (or bullbaiting) is a blood sport involving pitting a bull against dogs with the aim of subduing the bull by biting and holding onto its nose or neck, which often resulted in the death of the bull. The Cruelty to Animals Act 1835 effectively outlawed bull-baiting in Britain, although the practice persisted illegally in some rural areas for a time.
