The Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals is a book written by E. P. Evans that explores the history of animal trials and executions in Western Europe and North America. The book covers a period of time from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, during which animals were sometimes put on trial and sentenced to death for various crimes. The book provides detailed accounts of some of the most famous animal trials, including those of pigs, cows, horses, dogs, and even insects. The author examines the legal and cultural contexts that led to these trials and punishments, and also explores the philosophical and ethical implications of treating animals as legal subjects. The book is a fascinating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the history of law, animal rights, and the relationship between humans and animals.A Pioneering Work In English, Bringing Together A Most Amazing Assemblage Of Court Cases In Which Animals (Chickens, Rats, Field Mice, Bees, And Pigs) Have Been Named As Defendants, Providing Much Insight Into Animal Rights And Capital Punishment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
