Send us Fan MailThe idea of animals being put on trial may sound absurd today, but it was a surprisingly common practice in medieval and early modern Europe. These trials, documented as far back as the 13th century, involved animals being formally prosecuted in court for crimes such as theft, assault, or even murder. Both domestic and wild animals—including pigs, rats, dogs, and insects—were held accountable under human laws.Support the showThank you for listening.
