Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Beargarden or Bear Pit was a facility for bear-baiting, bull-baiting, and other "animal sports" in the London area during the 16th and 17th centuries, from the Elizabethan era to the English Restoration period. Baiting is a blood sport where an animal is tormented or attacked by another animal, often dogs, for the purpose of entertainment or gambling. Samuel Pepys visited the venue in 1666 and described it as "a rude and nasty pleasure". The last recorded event at the Beargarden was the baiting of "a fine but vicious horse" in 1682.

Samuel Pepys besuchte 1666 zusammen mit seiner Frau eine Veranstaltung und beschrieb sie als „ein grobes und widerliches Vergnügen“ („a rude and nasty pleasure“). Das letzte überlieferte Spektakel an diesem Ort war die Hatz und Tötung eines Pferdes am 12. April 1682.
