In the past, even animals could be criminals. They could be brought to court with a real lawyer and a judge. They could be sentenced to prison or executed. Once in Lausanne, caterpillars were subpoenaed to court because they had eaten some plants in a nobleman’s garden. They didn’t show up. Then, the caterpillars were ordered to leave the town and were excommunicated.
Cats were executed especially often because they were considered to be doing the devil’s work. This lead to a significant decrease in the population of cats, so there were a lot of rodents that spread the plague across Europe, which was the real crime!

Animals cannot be accountable for what they do it is the humans that trained them
Oh, absolutely! I agree with what you say, Sandra, 🙂
i think that humans have a control issue when it comes to nature!
Old Arapaho saying: “All animals and plants are our brothers and sisters. They talk to us and if we listen, we can hear them.”
it is very true. Off the beaten path, away from the smell of man there is a world that exists without humans. That is where I wish to be!
