Ms Lawder asked the Minister for Transport and City Services, upon notice, on 3 August 2018 (redirected to the Minister for City Services):

(1) How many dog attacks have been reported to Domestic Animal Services (DAS) in 2017-2018 broken down by month.

(2) Of the attacks in part (1) how many (a) involved an attack on a person and (b) resulted in dogs being seized or held by DAS.

(3) Of the dogs seized in part (2)(b), how many (a) had previously been held or seized by DAS, (b) were not registered when seized by DAS, (c) were returned to their owners and (d) were put down by DAS.

Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1 – 2) In 2017-18, 485 dog attacks were reported. The table provides a breakdown of attacks on a person and the number of dogs seized. Due to a change in the way information is collected, a breakdown between these categories for June 2018 is unavailable.
