Bear wrestling is illegal in Missouri per statute 578.176. If found guilty, the offense of bear wrestling is a class A misdemeanor.
While a bear sighting might be common, what was odd followed when authorities asked residents not to wrestle the bear if they came in contact with it – because it is illegal.. The law was adopted in 1996. If found guilty, the offense of bear wrestling is a class A misdemeanor.
Missouri is not only state to outlaw bear wrestling. Alabama did have a law prohibiting it, but that law was repealed as obsolete in 2015. They now have animal cruelty laws that cover this area. According to PETA, bans against archaic acts are on the books in at least 18 states, and it would likely be prohibited by general cruelty-to-animals laws in the rest of the country.
"Although bear wrestling may sound unbelievably ridiculous, it has a serious history," Catie Cryar, manager of media relations for PETA, told FOX Weather. "Exploiters removed bears’ teeth and claws and forced them into brawls with boozed-up bozos in a practice so cruel that legislators had to ban it."PETA advises anyone concerned about the presence of bears in residential areas to encourage the animals to move on by keeping garbage cans tightly sealed and out of reach.
