Australia’s $22bn love for pets | BBC News

I love my cats but I hate that people abandon their cats outside. Some cats die, others become apex predators destroying the local ecosystem

I heckin love doggos! Thanks Redditrinos!!!

What's the optimal strategy for someone with around $5k, or even less, to begin trading cryptocurrencies today?

Investment that always guarantees excellent returns. Not in cash but in pure happiness. I’ve never been let down, even by Chihuahuas.

What about cute Koalas and kangaroos

I have 2 puppies and 2 kittens and 2 cats ✌️✌️

Don't abandon. :(

They need dogs and cats because they warn folks about the dangerous animals that might enter the house

Never underestimate the love for a pet.....

I love my dog 🐕

Protesters calls for countries to ignore sanctions on Russia the same way netanyahu and biden ignores genocide and international laws

bbc, show what innovative chemicals and tranquilizers are used to control animals like robots

Pet ownership is exploding because people can’t afford kids.

Thank you for sharing it.

Pets > Humans

Dogs rule. (Sorry cats)

I'm not sure if a pet would enjoy travelling in an aircraft in a locked cage, outside of his home territory. All those grooming services might not be essential. You can wash your dog the old fashioned way.

Make sense on hamsters and hedgehogs are not legal as pets in australia😂😂

Australia has the cult of pups. 🇦🇺 America has the cult of Trump. 🇺🇲 At least in Australia when dogs sh!t everywhere, owners dispose of it. They don't leave it around to create a mess for everyone else. 🐕💩

My dog changed my life in a good way.

The population of Australia is 26.01 million and £22 billion for dog care, and it is hard to believe, wow dog propaganda

Both Britain & Australia spend HUGE amounts of money on pets, yet the birth rate among Western women keeps dropping. PRIORITIES PLEASE.

How a pet is a child? It is just a pet.

I recently adopted a kitten from a rescue shelter and named him Luke, he has taken over my life in a positive way. Best natural anti-depressant!

BETTER THAN PEOPLE. 🐾🖤

I'm homeless and still need funds to fix a van I bought, from a bad lying christrian. That stuffed me. So whilst it took me 3 days to get £15 my frenemy who's got a dog it took him less than half an hour. 83% of money given to charity is given to animals. Yet 24 years on the road is enough. I dream of one first van, work then dog.

👍🦮🐕🐕‍🦺❤

The africa you needs that's money 💰 😂

Time for a animal tax😂😂😂

Time for a animal tax😂😂😂

“Across the nation there are more pets than people.” That sounds like heaven to me!

The only issue is that certain breeds are really expensive due to low breed availability unlike other parts of the world.

Love for dogs but none for bombed children...what a hypocrites

Pets are adorable. This is what I was gonna say for the first sentence. Just fyi.

Of course, it's natural that one's own culture is estimated based on the others, but could be biased.. culture by culture, person by person, what can you do.. still though I would say it is kinda shallow eyesight of looking at the whole world without considering one specific background.. needa research on more about how the world is made of and what the origination would be.. thank you for the stressful encourage..

If you own a dog - don't complain to me about the cost of living.

Slow news day.

Please cover South Korea's dog breeding farm

It's not love. They abandon them like toys. You can't just throw them out on the street. You have to provide for all their needs. Having a pet is no different from having a child.

The insurance industry and veterinary industry have grown way out of proportions and it's extremely expensive to give pets surgery and professional rehabilitation. Some people will just abandon their pets when they get old instead of taking care of them, which is expensive.

The Chinese love them more🍽

cute

Why do you need grooming pets? Do it yourself at home. It's your pet. Would you let your children be groomed by adults? Oh wait....

Propagandistic rubbish. The World need from BBC agitation this like garbage

HI, TO BE HONEST I DON'T LOVE ANIMALS OTHER THAN PENGUIN OR DOGS

馭民五術：這是千年手法，連同下毒暗殺也是

Australian dollars. So 22 billion is like 350 grand.

This is absolutely wonderful! The man and his dog is something that will never go out of fashion

Please, allow the pets to travel on the cabin.
