Dog Breeding and Pet Selling Licences

We're waiting for Martina to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Denbighshire County Council,

Please provide me with a copy of all current dog breeding licences and pet selling licences issued by the council.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Denbighshire County Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Denbighshire County Council's handling of my FOI request 'Dog Breeding and Pet Selling Licences'.

The council cannot simply ignore ICO decisions even if they are not legal binding in the way a decision of the Upper Tribunal would be. The fact there has been no decision in the Upper Tribunal does not undermine the decision of the ICO. It appears to indicate that the public body and the person making the request accepted the decision of the ICO.

The council has made general comments about criminality but failed to provide any evidence demonstrating a link between the criminality and an FOI request. I am aware of one murder in England involving a dog breeder but the coverage in that case clearly demonstrates this was domestic violence. Please provide details of the case the council is referring to when mentioning murder.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Martina

Denbighshire County Council
