pilloried

The Cleveland Metroparks held their 18th Century FallFest at Brecksville Reservation on Sunday. Supra, is Cassius in the stocks. This was a colonial American punishment, but it doesn't work so well on greyhounds. 

Dogs were subject to trial and punishment in puritanical New England. In Salem Massachusetts, in 1692, they had witch trials. Twenty people were executed (five died in prison), and two dogs. The usual method of execution there was hanging. One dog was killed in the streets by a crowd. In Andover, one was shot to death.
