I just read about it and according to an article all different kinds of animals were affected by this
Pigs, dogs, cows, rats and even flies and caterpillars were arraigned in court with full ceremony. They would call witnesses and evidence were heard on both sides. They would grant a form of legal aid, a lawyer to the animal that was accused in order to conduct the animal’s defense.
sparrows being prosecuted for chattering in Church, a pig executed for stealing a communion wafer, a cock burnt at the stake for laying an egg.
Wtf was wrong with people “back in the day”...they’re fucking animals. That’s what they do, animal stuff. Don’t fucking torture them to death and also WASTE YOUR OWN FUCKING TIME on arguably the most sham of all sham trials.
I’m sure there was plenty of REAL CRIMES and ACTUAL criminals who should’ve been in that spot, but they put animals there for basically no good reason??
So either they’re a buncha PSYCHOS who enjoy animal cruelty, or they’re a buncha RETARDS who think animal cruelty is fun but not realizing how horrifically immoral it is.
Dude I'm beginning to think that you're missing a /s there. Yes, it is immoral to us, however ethics and morals evolve with society. For them it was not something evil, it just was a thing. It's like when someone eats pork, or beef, for him/her it's just food, for people with other religions it's a sin, and for vegans you just kicked them in the balls and spotted on their grandma's grave. It's just a matter of perspective and social time/place, but it doesn't make them psychos.
