Rat baiting, a blood sport popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, was largely banned in England with the enactment of the Animal Welfare Act 2006. This legislation aimed to prevent animal cruelty and promote the welfare of animals. Various local laws and regulations also contributed to the decline and eventual banning of the practice. While the specific dates may vary by region, the overall trend toward prohibition occurred in the early 21st century.
