Administrative court dismissed appeal against environmental secretary's decision on animal protection facility expansion distances.

The Administrative Court of Finland dismissed the applicant's appeal against the Environmental Secretary's decision approving an expansion of an animal protection facility. The applicant argued that the new facility violated minimum distance requirements set by the Animal Protection Act, while the Secretary relied on the specific provisions of the Act regarding such expansions. The court upheld the decision, ruling that the Secretary correctly applied the statutory framework and the applicant failed to demonstrate a legal error in the distance calculations.
