 There have been calls for changes to the current laws on dog ownership as the number of dog attacks increase in the UK. According to the RSPCA, dog attacks were up by nearly 50% from last year, and they suggest that this is partly due to the increase in ownership of so-called prestige dogs such as Staffordshire bull terriers and Rottweilers, but mainly because of the lack of knowledge by owners of how to care for them appropriately. In particular campaigners are requesting for stricter laws to prosecute owners if the attack happens in a private place.

Homeopathic remedies have become increasingly popular as people look for alternative ways of treating ailments that conventional medicine has been unable to treat, feels more natural and / or have few or none of the unwanted side effects associated with some conventional medicines. In the UK, the increase in the use of homeopathic treatments has been noticeable; in other parts of the world such as India, homeopathy has been a long established tradition with junior doctors being given the option to specialise in homeopathy.
