William Belch, British Sports, for the Amusement of Children
“ By the aim of a Gunner who seeks them for sport. [Pg 7] Badger Baiting. Baited by Dogs, the Badger dies, A cruel sport it thus supplies, The Skin is by the Furriers bought, And thus for gain & pleasure sought. [Pg 8] [Pg 9] [Pg 10] Horse Racing. Goaded with Spurs they seem to fly, Like lightning to the human eye; Stretch out their necks to gain the post, While thousands on the course are lost. ”
