<p>The Ministry of Justice publishes information on prosecutions, convictions and
sentence outcomes in the <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65a7e44aed27ca001327b161/outcomes-by-offence-june-2023.xlsx"
target="_blank">Outcomes by Offence data tool: June 2023</a> including offences as
set out in the <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65a7e16aed27ca000d27b149/offence_group_classification_june_2023.xlsx"
target="_blank">Offence Group Classification</a>. The total number of individuals
convicted and sentence outcomes for offences under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, can
be obtained by selecting the following HO codes: 10829, 10830, 10831, 10832, 10833,
10834, 10835, 10836, 10837, 10838, 10839, 09701, 09702, 09703, 09704, 09705.</p><p>However,
whether the offence was committed by a pet owner against their pet is not held centrally
in the Court Proceedings Database. This information may be held on court records but
to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.</p>
