Dear Ms Green

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REF: 2009-161

I am responding to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000,
which we received on 25/03/2009 for information held by the Council. You
requested the following information:

I am contacting you concerning the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, as amended,
legislation and request the following information.

1) What number of dogs have been seized by the council dog wardens between
01/01/08 and 01/01/09 under section 1 of Dangerous Dogs Act 1991?

2) What number of those dogs has gone on to be added to the index of
exempted dogs?

3) What number of those dogs has been ordered to be destroyed by court
order?

4) What number of those dogs has been signed over for destruction by the
dogs owner?

5) How many dogs held as stray dogs by your council have been identified
as "pit bull type" and destroyed due to no owner coming forward between
01/01/08 and 01/01/09?

6) How many dogs held as potential pit bull types have died or been
destroyed as a result of unknown cause, illness or behavioural issues
while in your care (if reason known please give details) between 01/01/08
and 01/01/09 ?

None to all questions.
