Bear Baiting is one of the activities depicted on neolithic cave drawings and can therefore be date back as much as 20,000 years. This makes it one of the first credible activities attributed to man.

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!
