Have you ever stepped on dog poop and felt satisfaction knowing that the full power of the law would bring the wretched animal to justice after you press civil charges? No? It's just a dog with no concept of property damage? Hm. 

Animals can sometimes be a nuisance just doing what they do, like said dog, or worse, pests eating your family’s crops. And there was a time when, yes, you could take these animals to human court. For this bonus episode we ask: “can animals even commit crimes?”, as we explore stories of animal crime and punishment.
