EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the early 20th century, titled "Bear baiting in Saxon times" takes us back to a brutal and cruel practice that once entertained spectators. The image depicts a scene of intense conflict and confrontation between man and beast. In this blood sport, we witness a crowd of fierce Anglo-Saxons eagerly watching as dogs fiercely battle against a threatening bear. The engraving vividly captures the tension and aggression present in this barbaric spectacle. Each participant seems locked in their own struggle for dominance, with hounds lunging at the bear while male onlookers cheer them on. However, beyond its artistic value, this print serves as an important reminder of our dark history marred by animal cruelty. It sheds light on the clash between human entertainment and ethical treatment of animals during those ancient times. As we gaze upon this illustration today, it is crucial to reflect upon how far society has come in terms of compassion towards animals. We must acknowledge that such practices are no longer acceptable or justifiable forms of entertainment. This lithograph stands as a testament to our progress in recognizing the rights and welfare of all living creatures. Let us use this image not only as an appreciation for art but also as a catalyst for discussions about our responsibility towards animals and how we can continue striving for more humane treatment in every aspect of life.
