Publisher's Synopsis

In Europe as early as the 13th century and as late as the 16th century, non-human animals including rats, pigs, horses, and dogs were tried for criminal activities. This book examines how this rather arcane practice is to be understood because it is true that today no animals are formally prosecuted for crimes in courts of law.
