title: [The problem of seizure of animals based on sections 16 and 19 of the Animal Protection Act].
abstract: The present Animal Protection Act (APA) provides two options for the seizure of animals because of welfare reasons. The seizure of animals based on section 16 a, sentence 2, no. 2 APA is only possible if the later redelivery to the owner is intended. The definitive seizure can be based on section 19 APA when a criminal or disciplinary procedure is carried out. The general statutes of preventing danger in the federal states are not applicable.
