"The Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals" by E.P. Evans is a captivating exploration of an intriguing yet often forgotten aspect of history. In this thought-provoking book, Evans delves into the bizarre world of animal trials and the once widely accepted belief in their capacity for human-like understanding. From the Middle Ages to the early modern period, this gripping account uncovers the tales of animals brought to court, accused of crimes, and subjected to legal proceedings. With meticulous research and a touch of whimsy, Evans examines the social and legal contexts that led to such trials and the controversial use of capital punishment. A remarkable journey into a forgotten chapter of human-animal relationships.
