ATA/511/1997 ΓÇó Animal-keeping ban confirmed for inadequate care
ATA/511/1997Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberAug 26, 1997Confirmed
The cantonal veterinary office prohibited the appellant from keeping animals indefinitely. The measure was upheld on appeal because the person was found unable to care for animals adequately and to provide a sufficiently hygienic environment.
LPDA art. 24 al. 1 let. b; animal-keeping prohibition; preventive measure may be confirmed where the person concerned lacks the capacity to care for animals properly and to ensure sufficiently hygienic housing conditions. The decisive factor is not a mere isolated deficiency, but a sustained inability to meet essential animal-welfare requirements, which justifies an indefinite prohibition as a protective measure.
