Punishments of animals There were trials of animals accused of killing humans; the criminal procedure had some similarities with trials of humans: they had to be arrested and go through a trial hearing held by the secular court. If found guilty of homicide, the animal might suffer the death penalty. The animals that were most often punished by Thierstrafen were pigs.
