In 1385, a pig killed an infant named Jean Le Maux in Falaise, France. The following year, the pig was actually given formal legal proceedings, receiving a trial, lawyer, and clothing. After being found guilty, the pig was injured in the same manner that Le Maux was harmed, and publicly hanged to reinforce the notion of justice was served under the law. Other animals like rats, a hen mistaken for a rooster, a monkey, donkey, weevils, and even ants were also put on trial.
