This story is inspired by The Hunting of the Snark, an Agony in Eight Fits, by Lewis Carroll An unlikely crew of cocks set out on a quest to catch a Snark. Many believe that this was the original intent of the tale, but it was suppressed by the Cruelty to Animals Act 1835. In order to relate the story Charles Dodgson changed the identity of the sailors involved to mere humans and a beaver. Cockfighting was banned outright in England and Wales and in the British Overseas Territories. This was an Act to Consolidate and Amend the Several Laws Relating to the Cruel and Improper Treatment of Animals, and the Mischiefs Arising from the Driving of Cattle, and to Make Other Provisions in Regard Thereto. It stated that any Person who shall, within Five Miles of Temple Bar, keep or use or shall act in the Management or conducting of any Premises or Place whatsoever for the Purpose of fighting or baiting of Bears, Cock-fighting, baiting or fighting of Badgers or other Animals, shall, on Conviction thereof before any One Justice of the Peace, forfeit any Sum not exceeding Five Pounds, and in default of immediate Payment shall be liable to be imprisoned and kept to hard Labour for any Time not exceeding Two Months.
