Whitmont of the U.S. He operates a 100 percent homeopathy practice in New Mexico. He lectures worldwide on veterinary homeopathy.
Dr. Hamilton has concerns about our interactions with companion animals and is interested in how these interactions affect animals, as well is in what these interactions suggest about modern culture and our own needs as humans. Dr. Hamilton is also a committed ecologist. He believes that all animals and plants have an inherent right to exist that is independent of their usefulness to humans.
