Today, we will learn about dogs and the law. I think there’s a little something for everyone in this show. We also have a really special featured guest for you to meet. I’m excited to finally get this episode into your ears. I think a lot of you will find something insightful in today’s installment. The first part of this show will be a very brief history and definition of animal law. The second part of this episode will look at some present-day, dog-related laws and issues. In the final part, and throughout the show, myself and our guest will share some simple tips on how all of us can be on the right side of the law and dog welfare. As always, we have a lot to cover, so let’s get started. Part 1: History and Definition of Animal Law Part 1: History and Definition of Animal LawAdam: Today’s show features someone whom I consider to be a hero. In my view, he is an animal welfare warrior. This dude is not playing. I initially set out to find someone who could teach me about Dog Law, and ended up meeting with one of the leading animal law practitioners in the United States.Karp: Full name. Adam … do you want my middle name?Adam: I don’t know. Whatever you want people to know.Karp: Adam P. Karp is fine. I run Animal Law Offices. Solo Practitioner. I’ve been practicing animal law, exclusively, for … I think this is my 19th year.Adam: Tell me about that book I saw on Amazon?Karp: So. Carolina Academic Press put out a book that’s part of a series called Understanding “something”. Right? So, Understanding Criminal Law, Understanding Bankruptcy Law, So, they created a new one called Understanding Animal Law and I was asked to write it. So, the book is about 700+ pages. Covers two-dozen or so areas of animal law. Although, that’s certainly not all. There’s probably 12-20 other topics that I could’ve covered, but there just wasn’t enough space and they weren’t going to wait any longer. So, that book really encapsulates a great deal of my experience in litigation and legal research, and will hopefully help law students and anyone who cares about animals and the law. Help them to understand what the field is about, how broad it is, and maybe incorporate it into their day-to-day.Adam: I know that there may not be a simple answer, but what is Animal Law?Karp: There are a lot of working definitions. Probably the easiest one is that something about the case turns on the life of an animal. Something about an animal. Whether it’s about how an animal is viewed in a religious sense for instance. How the animal is perceived at a genetic level. How the animal interacts with people at a social level. Something about the animal’s behavior. Whether the animal is a perpetrator, a victim …. a party (chuckles) … that’s another whole push of animal law, which is to try and recognize them as legal persons, but that’s not really what animal law is day-to-day. So, I’d say any type of case where the outcome turns on or something significant in the litigation itself turns on the life of an animal.Adam: By now, you guys should know how I do. Let’s start at the beginning and allow Mr. Karp to give us just a little background history of animal law.Karp: Well, go back to the Code of Hammurabi.Adam: What’s that?Karp: (chuckles) Middle east. Old, old codes. We’re talking hundreds and hundreds of years ago. There were laws that pertained to even veterinary malpractice. So, I think if a surgeon, an early veterinarian committed some type of malpractice involving a mule or a donkey.Adam: What years are we talking?Karp: Gosh. I’d have to look. Probably thousands of years ago.Adam: That’s ok. I’ll ...
