In 19th-century England, before social media became our bloodsport of choice, people used to gather ’round to watch something called “bear-baiting,” which involved a dude (or sometimes another animal, like a dog) tormenting a chained-up bear, usually until something (or someone) got wounded or died.
Decidedly archaic, right?
Fair enough. But it turns out sports like that still exist. And in a video called “Do you think this practice belongs to another age?”, BETC Paris draws our attention to just one such activity.
Warning: The ad is graphic.
Created for FLAC (the Federation of Leagues Against Corrida), the video kicks off with a velociraptor (!) getting released into an arena, then taunted and stabbed until it runs out of fighting spirit and collapses to the cheers of a live audience.
