Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant had standing to file the criminal-law appeal as an injured party/victim under the LAV and BGG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
He lacked standing; he was not a victim within the meaning of the Victim Assistance Act, and his new arguments were inadmissible because they should have been raised before the cantonal court.
Extrahierte Begründung
The claim of victim status was a new allegation that could not be introduced absent an occasion given by the cantonal decision under Art. 99(1) BGG. In any event, only a human being can be a victim under the Victim Assistance Act, so invoking victim rights on behalf of a dog was untenable.
