Kia Ora Joe,

                                                                                   

We are currently processing your request for information. However, as it
currently stands, this is potentially a very large request and would
require searching through many parts of MPI to find material that may be
within  scope of your request. Are you able to specific a timeframe,
particular event or geographic area you are interested in relating to
‘wild big cats’?  Can I also confirm you are not interested in animals in
zoos?

 

Happy to discuss your request further and I can be contacted on the below.

 

Cheers,

 

Keegan

Hi Joe,

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly. I note that this request still covers a very large period of time and, given the date range, it will be very difficult to source information related to your request.

Is there a particular suspected sighting that you were interested in to help us better respond to your request?

Cheers,
Keegan

Good Morning Joe,

We are still processing your two OIA requests, however we are still yet to receive a response to our clarification email of 22 February 2018. Can you please get in touch so we can assist with your request?

In the absence of additional clarification, MPI may need to consider refusing this request as it would require substantial collation and research.

Look forward to hearing from you

Cheers,

Keegan
