Pet licensing data for Los Angeles

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the California's Sunshine Amendment (Cal. Const. Art. I, § 3(b)), I hereby request the following records:

All the pet licensing data, including breed, owner address, and animal names for Los Angeles.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Conor Skelding

Due to the volume of e-mails that we receive each day, it is impossible to respond immediately to each one. Moreover, it is not always possible for my staff to respond to each e-mail from people who live outside the City of Los Angeles.

Many of the e-mails I receive do not include the name and address of the writer. It will help me to respond to your concerns if you choose to provide your name and address in addition to your e-mail address.

Thanks again for writing!
