Do NOT Wrestle Bears in Louisiana.

Louisiana Revised Statute Title 14 Section 102.10 states that:

A.  Any person who intentionally commits any of the following shall be guilty of bear wrestling:

(1)  Promotes, engages in, or is employed by anyone who conducts a bear wrestling match.

(2)  Receives money for the admission of another person to a place kept for bear wrestling matches.

(3)  Sells, purchases, possesses, or trains a bear for a bear wrestling match.

B.  For the purposes of this Section, a “bear wrestling match” means a match or contest between one or more persons and a bear for the purpose of fighting or engaging in a physical altercation.

C.  Whoever commits the crime of bear wrestling shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both.*

Bottom line: it’s not worth it.
