Closed petition: Collect and publish data on companion animal euthanasia
Closed on
Currently there is no accurate data on the euthanasia of companion animals available in England.
Commercial companies given contracts by local authorities in relation to stray animals are not subject to freedom of information requests.
The numbers of animals euthanised is currently unknown.
Currently euthanasia numbers of companion animals in local authority pounds, local authority subcontracted companies, rescue organisations, veterinary practices, police kennels and commercial enterprises involving companion and working animals is unknown
We think there is no reason that this data should not be collected and published. The data relating to an animal is not subject to GDPR
Without transparency and publication we feel animal welfare cannot be considered a priority to the current government.
