Dear Scott,

 

Thank you for contacting the Commission, and for your interest in this
matter.

 

From the data we have available, we confirm that between 1/1/2023 and
24/3/2024, the Commission accepted 154 complaints alleging assistance
animal discrimination.

 

Unfortunately, the Commission does not currently hold data on how many
complaints forms were lodged prior to acceptance.

 

We hope that this information is helpful. Please confirm that this
administrative response satisfies your FOI request.

 

Best regards,

 

Demitra Nikas she/her
