Question juridique clé
Whether the Foundation had standing to claim damages under Art. 23 LChP for the killing of the reintroduced bearded vulture.
Solution extraite
No. Art. 23 LChP grants the claim to the hunting lessee, or to the canton or municipality, not to a foundation engaged in wildlife reintroduction.
Motifs extraits
The bird had been released to return to the wild and was no longer under the Foundation's possession. The statutory scheme and legislative history do not reveal a gap that would justify extending standing by analogy to wildlife-management organizations.
