Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Foundation had standing to claim damages under Art. 23 LChP for the killing of the reintroduced bearded vulture.
Decisione estratta
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.
Motivazione estratta
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.
