when was dog fighting banned in the uk
Dog fighting Despite periodic dog-fight prosecutions, illegal canine pit battles continued after the Cruelty to Animals Act 1835 of England and Wales. Sporting journals of the 18th and 19th centuries depict the Black Country and London as the primary English dog fight centers of the period.
School corporal punishment In state-run schools, and in private schools where at least part of the funding came from government, corporal punishment was outlawed by the British Parliament in 1986.[137] In other private schools, it was banned in 1998 (England and Wales), 2000 (Scotland) and 2003 (Northern Ireland).[138] Schools had to keep a record of punishments inflicted,[139] and there are occasional press reports of examples of these "punishment books" having survived.[140][141]
