Which type of bear baiting? The type where hunters lure bears to their stands with food, or the type where tethered bears are attacked by dogs?
The answer to both is they didn't stop.
It was banned because too many bears escaped and killed people, and also because Europe did a vote and too many people thought it was too cruel.
Shortly after the nineteen hundreds. They had tried to make it illegal many times before. But the law never passed. I wasn't able to find the exact year though! Sorry I hope this helps!

Prior to the nineteenth century, games that involved killing animals in some spectacular and cruel way were not uncommon. Bear baiting, in which a chained bear was attacked by dogs until it was killed, was one of these. Most people today seem to believe it is not acceptable that society should allow such events.
