Question juridique clé
Whether the leash ban in the wild-animal permit was lawful under federal animal protection rules
Solution extraite
Yes. The condition was covered by the permit authority’s power to specify conditions and was justified by animal-welfare and safety concerns.
Motifs extraits
The court held that art. 43(4) TSchV allows conditions relating to proper keeping and that the safety aspect can overlap with animal protection when a wild animal is taken outside its enclosure.
