Ownership

The non-profit organization People4animals must return a dog to a woman from Eeklo. The court ordered this within five days, otherwise a penalty of €1,000 per day will be imposed. The non-profit organization refused to return the animal for fear the woman intended to have it euthanized. However, the court ruled that the woman intended to harm her dog and that ownership of the pet prevails.
