Medieval Justice Gone Mad: When Pigs and Rats Faced the Judge

What happens when pigs, rats, dolphins, or even insects get dragged into court?
Believe it or not, history is filled with bizarre trials where animals were treated as criminals — complete with lawyers, judges, and public verdicts.

In this episode of Wyrd History, Dr. Wyrd dives into the strangest legal cases ever held against animals:
• Medieval pigs tried for murder
• Locusts and rats excommunicated for destroying crops
• 20th-century dolphins and whales in the courtroom
• And the deeper meaning behind these odd spectacles

Were these trials superstition, symbolism, or a way to understand justice itself?

📺 Watch to the end for a reflection on what these cases reveal about human fears, beliefs, and our uneasy relationship with the natural world.
