#7 Bull-baiting actually had a purpose; it was believed to tenderize the bull’s meat.

For many years, the procedure was said to "thin" the bull's blood and tenderize its meat after slaughter. So strong was this belief that in many areas of England laws were passed requiring bulls to be baited before slaughter.

#8 What’s more, it was even a popular spectator sport in an era before professional sports, TV shows, movies, or video games existed. If he did, the enraged bull would toss the dog in the air with his horns, much to the delight of the watching crowd.

#9 The dog, on the other hand, would try to bite the bull, usually its snout, and throw it to the ground with the force of its painful bite. Subsequent bull baiting was promoted and the crowd bet on the outcome of the fight.
