This is the stuff[edit]

... that makes Wikipedia great. We need more articles like this one.

Some day I shall write an article about Barthélémy Chassanée, a French attorney famous for defending animals accused of felonious crimes.

Europe?[edit]

The accounts of animal trials seem to be restricted to Catholic France. I think that it may be misleading to refer to Europe as a whole.Royalcourtier (talk) 21:57, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

this is so obviously wrong[edit]

the page currently says

During the Napoleonic Wars, a French ship was wrecked in a storm off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor from the ship was a monkey, allegedly dressed in a French army uniform to provide amusement for the crew. On finding the monkey on the beach, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions and because they had seen neither a monkey nor a Frenchman before, they concluded that the monkey must be a French spy.

As if the people in 18th century England were unaware that the nation they were at war with was populated by fellow humans. I could see if this happened in 6000 BC and the people of Britain thought that they were an island of humanity, and that other species each had their own nations too. Putting it in early modern history is absurd, however. I think the page is better off without this paragraph. Soap 05:20, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
