It is illegal in most countries with laws being enforced with varying degrees of effort and enthusiasm.

History

Baiting events recorded throughout history are by no means isolated incidents. For instance, during the middle ages, England used a wide range of animals, including, but not limited to: donkeys, horses, leopards, lions, monkeys, and tigers.
In 1835, the Parliament of the United Kingdom implemented an Act called the Cruelty to Animals Act 1835, which prohibited the baiting of domestic or captive animals.
