Animal trials are a pretty neat thing that used to be really common. Rats would go on trial for spreading plague, cats would go on trial for being lazy and not controlling the rat population, the idea was that the trial was a necessary part of restoring order to society.
It's one of the reasons that trails are incredibly antiquated. Trials were closer to a ritual than an actual practice of justice, just brought over towards being 'scientific' during the Enlightenment.
