Key legal question
Whether the dogs had to be returned to the appellant or could be disposed of by the SPAB
Extracted holding
The dogs were not to be returned to the appellant; the cantonal court was correctly upheld in allowing the SPAB to place the dogs with third parties, subject to the condition that they not be returned to her.
Extracted reasoning
The prior federal judgment remained applicable: a return to the appellant was out of the question because her unreliability regarding keeping the dogs away from Osogna had not been dispelled. The municipal authorities' later willingness to return the dogs was tied to an unaccepted settlement proposal.
