I've noticed a gross lack of scienter for crime from Ed in this case, but I wonder if the same is true with puppy.
Bouviers
SCIENTER, knowingly.
2. A man may do many acts which are justifiable or not, as he is ignorant or not ignorant of certain facts. He may pass a counterfeit coin, when he is ignorant of its being counterfeit, and is guilty of no offence; but if he knew the coin to be counterfeit, which is called the scienter, he is guilty of passing counterfeit money. A man who keeps an animal which injures some person, or his property, is answerable for damages, or in some cases he may be indicted if he had a knowledge of such animal's propensity to do injury. 3 Blackst. Comm. 154; 2 Stark. Ev. 178; 4 Campb. 198; 2 Str. 1264; 2 Esp. 482; Bull. N. P. 77; Burr. 2092; 2 Lev. 172; Lord Raym. 110; 2 B. & A. 620; 2 C. M. & R. 496; 5 C. & P. 1; S. C. 24 E. C. L. R. 187; 1 Leigh, N. P. 552, 553; 7 C. & P. 755.
Admiralty, being born of Babylon wouldn't know or understand "conciousness". Not having conciousness of right or wrong there can be no scienter, hence statutes that imposed duties without a measure of the state of mind for the mindless to obey.
Admiralty Law: Not Just for the Specialist
Craig H. Allen
"Admiralty’s origins are ancient indeed. Elements of maritime law can be found in the Code of King Hammurabi of Babylon1 (circa 1780 B.C.). Mediterranean maritime
codes developed roughly a millennium later."

For over 200 plus years, interstate compacts have operated as a separate body of regulatory law: creating policies, rules and regulations that were not published, codified, nor made available for public review. Those kinds of rules were not subject to notice and comment rulemaking: and the public, including state law-makers, are unable to easily access them.
