We follow real historical cases where animals were assigned lawyers, judges presided over proceedings, and verdicts were carried out as if the defendants were human. Our reaction unpacks the cultural, religious, and symbolic reasons behind these bizarre trials and what they reveal about medieval justice, morality, and society’s relationship with nature. If you're into obscure legal history, weird historical facts, or thought-provoking takes on justice and personhood, this is a must-watch.
