Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many animal cruelty offences and convictions have taken place in Eastbourne in each of the last three years.
Answered by George Eustice
The number of offenders found guilty of offences under Sections 4 to 8 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006, in the Sussex Police Force area, from 2014 to 2016, can be viewed in the table. (1)(2)(3)
Force / Local Justice Area | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 |
Proceeded against | Found guilty | Proceeded against | Found guilty | Proceeded against | Found guilty |
Sussex | 20 | 17 | 11 | 8 | 12 | 7 |
of which | | | |
Sussex (Eastern) Local Justice Area (4) | 7 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 1 |
(1) Defined as SS4-8 Animal Welfare Act 2006
(2) The figures given in the table relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences it is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe.
(3) Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.
(4) Includes offences in Eastbourne
