Depending on the source, it seems Australia has or used to have the highest pet ownership rates in the world. Why do you think this is? (lemmy.ca)

It is interesting because cats (a common pet) are a huge problem for native wildlife. But I don't know why, beyond it being normal and people often having the means to provide for a pet.

Recently I've seen lots of people adopting former racing dogs after a lot of news came out about ethical concerns in the greyhound racing industry.
