Middeleeuwse Dierenprocessen: Bij de Beesten af?

Description

Snails being solemnly banished for nibbling too much on the crops of the inhabitants of Autun, France. Dolphins, horses, moles, and flies being sentenced in court. Sven Gins investigates these kinds of medieval animal trials. We might have World Animal Day and a Party for the Animals in the Dutch House of Representatives, but are we really more humane? ‘Medieval people would probably be just as shocked to see how we treat animals in the bio-industry and in nature.’
