Animal Welfare: Prosecutions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many animal cruelty offences against circus animals led to a prosecution in 2018.

Answer

Information as to whether or not an animal cruelty offence involved a circus animal may be held on court record but to be able to identify these specific cases, which are not held centrally, we would have to access individual court records which would be of disproportionate cost.
