'''Thomas Graunger''' or '''Granger''' (1625? – September 8, 1642) was one of the first people [[Hanging|hanged]] in the [[Plymouth Colony]] (the first hanged in Plymouth or in any of the colonies of New England being [[John Billington]]) and the first known juvenile to be sentenced to death and executed in the territory of today's [[United States]]. He was a servant to [[Love Brewster]], of [[Duxbury, Massachusetts|Duxbury]], in the [[Plymouth Colony]] of [[British North America]]. Graunger, at the age of 16 or 17, was convicted of "[[buggery]] with a mare, a cow, two goats, divers sheepe, two calves, and a turkey", according to court records of 7 September 1642.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130120022604/http://www.mayflowerfamilies.com/colonial_life/morality_and_sex.htm Mayflower Families - Morality and Sex]</ref>

Graunger confessed to his crimes in court privately to local magistrates, and upon indictment, publicly to ministers and the jury, being sentenced to "death by hanging until he was dead". He was hanged by [[John Holmes (Messenger of the Plymouth Court)|John Holmes]], [[Messenger of the Court]], on September 8, 1642.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/recordsofcolonyo0102newp#page/50/mode/2up Records of the Colony of New Plymouth]</ref> Before Graunger's execution, following the laws set down in [[Leviticus]] 20:15 ("And if a man shall lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast"), the animals involved were slaughtered before his face and thrown into a large pit dug for their disposal, no use being made of any part of them.<ref>[http://www.chronogram.com/issue/2000/08/room_waron.htm Chronogram.com]</ref>

An account of Granger's acts is recorded in Gov. [[William Bradford (1590-1657)|William Bradford]]'s diary ''[[Of Plymouth Plantation]] 1620-1647.'' Graunger's crime represents the colonies' first recorded act of [[bestiality]].

Claudine de Culam

2018-03-28T03:53:46Z

173.71.211.38:

'''Claudine de Culam''' (d. 1601), was a sixteen-year-old girl who was tried and hanged for the act of [[bestiality]] with a dog in [[Rognon, Doubs|Rognon]], [[France]].<ref>Hastings Donnan, Fiona Magowan, ''Transgressive sex: subversion and control in erotic encounters'', 2009, pp. 95 and 96.</ref>

The judge appointed female assistants in order to put the dog and the girl to the test. As the women undressed Claudine, the dog attempted to mount her. On the basis of this evidence both the dog and the young woman were strangled to death, their bodies burned and their ashes scattered 'that as little trace as possible might remain to remind mankind of their monstrous deeds.'<ref>Robert E. L. Masters, ''The hidden world of erotica: forbidden sexual behaviour and morality'', 1973, pp. 16 and 38.</ref>

'''Jacques Ferron''' was a [[Frenchman]] who was tried and hanged in 1750 for copulation with a [[donkey|jenny]] (female donkey).<ref name=EPA>{{cite book|last=Evans|first=Edward Payson|title=The criminal prosecution and capital punishment of animals|year=1987|isbn=978-0-571-14893-6|pages=150–151}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | title=Ever since Adam and Eve: the evolution of human sexuality|last1=Potts|first1=Malcolm|last2=Short|first2=Roger Valentine | publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] | year=1999 | page=110 | isbn=978-0-521-64404-4 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RoDv0JiIqF4C}}</ref>

The trial took place in the [[Vanves|commune of Vanvres]] and Ferron was found guilty and sentenced to [[Hanging|death by hanging]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Ford, Beach|first=C.S, F.A|title=Patterns of Sexual Behaviour|publisher=Taylor & Francis|page=153}}</ref> In cases such as these it was usual that the animal would also be sentenced to death,<ref>{{cite book|last=Costlow, Nelson|first=Jane, Amy|title=Other Animals: Beyond the Human in Russian Culture and History|year=2010|isbn=978-0-8229-6063-8|page=38}}</ref> but in this case the she-ass was acquitted. The court decided that the animal was a victim and had not participated of her own free will. A document, dated 19 September 1750, was submitted to the court on behalf of the she-ass that attested to the virtuous nature of the animal. Signed by the [[Priesthood (Catholic Church)|parish priest]] and other principal residents of the commune it proclaimed that "they were willing to bear witness that she is in word and deed and in all her habits of life a most honest creature."<ref name=EPA/>
