Data update 3: let's 'wrap' these puppies (kittens and other animals, too) up

This Datawrapper chart illustrates the central point of my final report.



There are a few questions that I cannot answer with my data, questions such as those surrounding the location of the lost animals. If I wanted to know which locations the most lost animals are found at, from which neighbourhood the most animals go missing, or any other questions involving location, I would not be able to do so. I would have to go in person, either to City Hall or the BC SPCA, and ask for that information, information that could very easily be turned into a dataset. City Hall and the BC SPCA are the two agencies that should have this information, as the dataset was supplied by the City of Vancouver on their website, and the BC SPCA has online pet registries and lost and found websites. A simple FOI or ATI request should be able to get this information. The location information can simply be added to the original dataset I have been using. "Location animal was last seen at" or "location animal was found" could be possible columns. The information could then be added in as longitude and latitude coordinates, and eventually made into a map displaying different location information about lost and found animals in Vancouver.
