We also don’t typically arrest other species.

"typically"

I'm going to need the examples you're thinking of where we did please... they should be quite amusing with my morning coffee tomorrow :-)

Note: I suggest you don't look up "(type of animal) arrested," because most of what pops up is horrible people arrested for doing terrible things to animals. (Although a couple cats have been "arrested" in modern times.) I just happened to remember the pig trials of yore.
