Do most population own pets?


Most people in civilized places do. It could be anything from a fish to a cow really.

I enjoy a dog, a cat, 2 geckos, a hamster, and a betta fish.
I think the majority of people own pets of some sort, whether it be a pond/tank of fish or something as impressive as a horse.

Personally, I have always owned pets. The only time I HAVEN'T owned pets is when I first go to university - that lasted six months, i missed my pets at my parents house so ended up rescuing gerbils xD obsessive? Its runs within the blood ;)

The only person i know who doesn't have pets is my partner's mother...but she never have pets growing up so isn't too tolerant of animals.

I currently have
- 1 dog
- 1 house rabbit (dog and bunny cuddle up together)
- 4 gerbils
- Fish
Answers:    Nearly everybody I know does have pets, at least a cat or a dog. So I'd say its probably a 50/50 split, but after I've found that a great deal of people hate pets of any sort, so I'd hold to say 25 do own pets and 75 don't.
I'm going to say 50/50 or maybe 60%-no, 40%-yes...and I assume you stingy Americans. You have those that do not want a pet, can't afford one, allergic, or other various reasons. But for every party you know that doesn't have one, I'm sure you know one that does. I'm 23 and never really had a pet(dog) until just now. They are a handful and expensive!...but one of the best decisions ever. He makes me laugh everyday and make me happy.
I think so.
I have 3 mice and a cat. hehe that sounded funny.
I used to have 9 dogs that our house raised but they all ran absent and died.

2 leopard geckos
9 fish

almost everyone i know also has at lowest 1 pet

I think so :/
I have two cats and a fish.
The typical American family have a dog.
Usually. It really depends on where you live and allergies and such. I live on a farm, so I enjoy lots of room for animals (cats, dogs, birds, fish, hedgehog, etc.) But if I lived in a city apartment, I'd probably not have pets, or purely something little like a small dog or fish.
Yup i think so.. i own 2 dogs and a cat. and a bf LOL
probably about 2 in 10 people hold a pet i'd say
i have a cat, a rabbit, 2 hamsters and a snake ^_^
What is your favorite pet label?   Some enclose push for around my chinchilla?   My rabbit started using his litter box to lay surrounded by and go contained by the rest of his enclose.  How can I renovate him spinal column?   I want a pet but dont know which to achieve?
