President, State Secretary, Sir, Madam:

I am aware that South Carolina issues licenses for bears who are possessed in another state for bear baiting/baying and I am appalled by this.

These bears suffer inhumane treatment tremendously.

 I am requesting that you have legislation ordered to ban issuing these permits.

These bears stand and shake in fear. Although they know what is about to happen they can do nothing to stop it - a rope attached to a metal ring in their nose is tied to a post in the ground, holding them in place.

All they can do is wait and watch as the crowd around them cheers in anticipation.

Suddenly, dogs are released into the arena - bred and trained to attack, the dogs lunge at the bear, sinking their sharp teeth into the bears sensitive muzzle and ears.

The bear tries desperately to defend itself but the teeth and claws have been removed and all they can do is tuck their head behind their paws and lash out blindly.

The attack goes on for several minutes until finally the bear is brought to the ground and the dogs are declared the winners. This is a disgrace to mankind. It is baffling that this is still legal in your state and that you hand out permits for this. Also the South Carolina DNR does not inspect bear baiting competitions.

These bears are treated in such a cruel an inhumane manner as you can see in this video link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iKeBPtkqe_E

The LAW of DISGRACE - showing where they have crossed out the words bear-baiting - half way through the the writing

I trust that upon examination of the above facts you will agree that it is in the best interest for the state of South Carolina to pass legislation to end bear baiting.

Sincerely:
