12:30 a.m. FORGOTTEN ANIMAL CRUELTY: SPECTATOR SPORTS OF

YESTERYEAR In English duck-baiting, a dog swam after a wing-clipped duck, which
could only dive to escape. Still in England, cock-throwing was the sport of throwing
weighted sticks at a tied rooster, aiming to break his legs. German fox-tossing was a team
sport where the animal was driven onto a 20-foot sling, then launched into the air as the
team all pulled hard on their rope ends. The hour wraps up with a look at fights between
dogs and hyenas staged in Punjab, India.
