Performing Animals (Regulation) Act 1925, dogs and cats

Case reference FOI2022/01180

Published 23 August 2022

Request

With respect to your local authority's register of performing animals, please tell me:

Q1. How many a) dogs and b) cats are currently registered under the Performing Animals (Regulation) Act 1925 in your area to be trained and/or exhibited for performance?

Q2. Please can you provide a sample of the types of performances in which some of the registered dogs and cats are engaged?

NOTE: For question 2, I am looking for a flavour of the range of performance types. I appreciate there could be a lot of animals registered with many different performance details, so please give me the performance details from just the FIVE most recently approved applications.

Response

The Service Area have advised that they are unable to respond to the request as the Performing Animals (Regulation) Act 1925 ceased to have effect in England on 01.10.2018, therefore the information requested is not held.
