was NO ONE going to tell me that in the premodern era ANIMALS were regularly put on trial for shit like murder (among other things) and often convicted?????????????????????????????????????
#wtf
#a student sent me this chapter from a book that talks about a murder trial in france in 1457
#defendants were a [pig] mother & her 6 [pig] children
#apparently the mother was found guilty and sentenced to execution

#'The court accepted the defense lawyer's argument that the youngsters lacked the mental competence...
#to have committed a crime in the eyes of the law'
#this is from 'Let Us Now Praise Infamous Animals' by jeffrey st. clair
#in hribal's book FEAR OF THE ANIMAL PLANET (2010)
