History Fact
In 1386, a pig was executed in France.

One such case happened in Falaise, France, where a pig attacked a child’s face who went on to later die from their wounds.
The pig was arrested, kept in prison, and then sent to court where it stood trial for murder, was found guilty, and then executed by hanging!

About 75 percent of all orders here are for the famous burger.
