It's meant to be Tommy Cooper, but what it is is an abomination o.o

Aah I see. Come to think of it, I don't personally know of anyone with a DWAL around here either, apart from a shopin Cardiff (but best I don't get into my feelings about them!) and apparently a shop in Bridgend has a caiman that I keep meaning to visit and ogle over lol. I'd love to own an exotic animal (specifically a Lynx, some fruit bats and a Skunk) But I haven't the land, the money or the expertise at this time in my life, but one day.. Would be nice to learn about these animals outside of a zoo!

Is there any reason that some councils charge more than others? Or is it just another example of councils grabbing money where they can?

Age old question Sam.

Why can there be issuers at £75 and again at £1600?

Money, but also it is an attempt for some councils to put you off application - it is not unlawful to apply for a DWAL, but the way some councils act, you would certainly think so.

They can not deny the application, they can fail you, but what l mean is they can not declare that it is illegal to apply for a DWAL - But if it is too expensive, this may be an off putter for some.

The council are always quick to discourage ANY sort of pet around here, I couldn't imagine how they would react if I went to them and told them I wanted to keep a Caiman They've always been full of scandal/cock ups and procrastination but they'd be quick to judge just in case the keeper made a mistake. They play up to public fear and expectation in a lot of cases imo
