"Bear baiting" can describe two different practices, one of which is okay, the other indescribably horrific. Def. 1. "Bear baiting" is the act of setting a pack of dogs loose to maul and/or completely devour a chained-up bear. Def. 2. "Bear baiting" is the act of a bear pretending to be cute and cuddly in order to lure (or "bait") unsuspecting people close to it, ostensibly to feed or have their pictures taken with said bear. This usually ends with the people being mauled or completely devoured by the bear. Example: The footage shown on The Colbert Report of a polar bear trying to pull a woman through the fence at the zoo. She was a victim of bear baiting.
