Questão jurídica principal
Whether the immediate euthanasia order for the dog was proportionate under the cantonal Dog Act.
Decisão extraída
No. Euthanasia was disproportionate because the dog had not been shown to have injured any person or animal, the owner showed insight, and stricter milder measures were sufficient.
Fundamentação extraída
The file contained no documented bite injury, the alleged prior attack was unsubstantiated, and the owner was willing to comply with strict conditions such as leash, muzzle, and training. Euthanasia is the last resort and may not be ordered where an equally suitable milder measure suffices.
