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.
