From the days of bear-baiting when dogs were put on a bear in an
enclosure for the entertainment (and gambling) of the audience. It
would have been pretty untidy in there. The London venue for animal
baiting was called The Bear Garden although there were bull rings in
other towns and arenas for dog fighting, cock fighting and ratting
everywhere.
