South Korea faces a declining birth rate, reflected in pet stroller sales surpassing baby strollers, with the fertility rate expected to drop to 0.68 in 2024.

Pet strollers outsell baby strollers in South Korea amid fertility crisis

<h2>South Korea faces a declining birth rate, reflected in pet stroller sales surpassing baby strollers, with the fertility rate expected to drop to 0.68 in 2024.</h2>

South Korea is facing a significant challenge with its declining fertility rate amid shifting global population trends.
In an interesting development, dog strollers have become more popular than baby strollers in the country. This trend reflects the broader issue of South Korea&rsquo;s rapidly falling birth rate, which hit a historic low in 2023.
According to data from the e-commerce platform Gmarket, sales of pet strollers have surpassed baby strollers for the first time this year. During the first three quarters of the year, 43% of strollers sold were for infants, while 57% were for pets, mainly dogs and cats.
The national statistical organisation said the fertility rate is expected to be 0.72 this year and fall below 0.7 to 0.68 in 2024 before rising again.
The proportion of infant stroller sales compared to the total has decreased from 67% in 2021 and 64% in 2020 to 43% this year. Meanwhile, the share of pet stroller sales has increased from 33% in 2021 to 36% in 2022, reaching 57% this year.
The news portal, referencing data from Statistics Korea, reported that the total fertility rate&mdash;representing the average number of children born per woman&mdash;was 0.78 in 2022, the lowest globally. This rate is projected to decline further, with forecasts predicting a drop to 0.72 this year and a fall below 0.7 to 0.68 in 2024 before it begins to rise again. Meanwhile, the number of households raising pets is increasing. Data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs shows that more than 6 million households had pets last year, compared to 3.6 million in 2012.

Should you avoid kissing your pets? Survey share insights

Recent research questions the safety of kissing pets, emphasizing potential risks, while pet ownership offers numerous health benefits but also carries the risk of zoonotic diseases.

Kissing our beloved pets has long been a common expression of affection, but recent research suggests that it might not be as harmless as we once thought. A study conducted by The Conversation delves into the potential risks associated with kissing our furry companions.
Although numerous studies have highlighted the myriad benefits associated with pet ownership, including improvements in both our mental and physical health, it's important to acknowledge that pets can sometimes serve as carriers of infectious diseases that pose a potential risk to humans.
Zoonotic diseases are infectious conditions capable of transmitting from animals to humans, and data indicates that there are over 70 companion animal infections that can spread to humans.&nbsp;
These infections have the potential to be transmitted indirectly through contact with contaminated materials like bedding, soil, food, or water, as well as directly from pets to humans through the exchange of saliva, bodily fluids, and waste. Dogs and cats, in particular, are significant sources of zoonotic infections stemming from viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites.

If you are an instagram user, you must have seen the viral trend "We'll plant one tree for every pet pictures". Wondering what is it and who is planting those trees?
Well, the post was originally made by an insta account Plant A Tree Co. It however, hurriedly took it off, saying that it didn't have resources to keep its end of the deal. That is planting a tree for every pet picture.
Currently, there are over 4 million shares of the post, although Plant A Tree Co. deleted it within minutes of posting.
Seeing how the trend went viral, Plant A Tree Co. decided to start a fundraiser for &ldquo;Trees For The Future'' so they can plant the 4 million trees. According to their Instagram page, nearly $ 2 million has been raised.
But here's the catch. According to a Mashable report, Trees for the Future posted on their Instagram stories that they are not affiliated with Plant A Tree Co. and urged their followers to donate at their website instead of Plant A Tree Co.'s Instagram account.
This isn't the first time Plant A Tree Co. has come under fire for potentially scamming users on Instagram. According to reports, the company has previously been accused of trying to scam insta users by claiming to be promoting a cause.
So, long story short, your pet photos probably aren't planting any trees. But that should not stop you from posting those cute pics of your pets or planting trees. Keep them coming for the greater common good.

Let your kids sleep with your pets for 'paw'sitively good sleep

One positive effect of the lockdown has been the ample time people are getting to spend with their families and in turn, their dear furry friends. The pets are thrilled to have people around at home all the time. They get to play with the kids as much as they want, have fun and be a part of all family activities.
So much so, that they might get&nbsp;a bit spoilt and end up sleeping with your kids on their beds. Most people do not allow pets on their beds for numerous&nbsp;reasons.&nbsp;But a new research study has a different tale to tell. Researchers at Concordia University found that your pet may be the reason behind children getting a much better sleep at night.
The study concludes that children view their pets as trusted companions and feel secure with them while sleeping. Researcher Hillary Rowe says that the presence of a pet causes no negative impact on a person's&nbsp;sleep. In fact, the subjects, especially adolescents who slept with a pet, reported healthier sleep quality.
This study thereby debunks the belief that sleeping with a pet causes disruption. It also suggests that kids derive comfort and solace from sleeping next to them. So, now you don&rsquo;t have to worry if your kid and your pet want to share a bed. And if they don&rsquo;t already do so, go ahead and encourage them to cuddle with their pets now!

In a first in the country, eight Asiatic lions in Hyderabad&rsquo;s Nehru Zoological Park tested positive for the coronavirus last month.
A lioness at Chennai's Vandalur Zoo died of a suspected coronavirus infection last week.A 10-year-old tiger also died at Ranchi's Bhagwan Birsa Biological Park after suffering from fever.In the first such reported instance in the world, five tigers and three lions at New York City&rsquo;s Bronx Zoo tested positive for Covid-19 In April last year.
Four lions at Barcelona Zoo tested positive in December...
So are big cats particularly vulnerable? What have studies found?
Several studies have found that the most vulnerable species to coronavirus infection, next to humans, are ferrets, followed by cats and civets.
Why?
The defining feature of a coronavirus is the spike protein on its surface. The spike protein initiates infection by binding with a host protein, called ACE2 receptor.
Different species have different levels of ACE2; this plays a key role in determining how much a species is susceptible to coronavirus infection.
In various studies, domestic cats and their big cousins have been found or estimated to express ACE2 more significantly than many other species.
Another critical factor is that there are similarities in the ACE2 of cats and humans.
According to a PNAS study, at very high risk are primates such as chimpanzee rhesus macaque. At high risk are species such as blue-eyed black lemur. Cats were found to have medium risk, while dogs had a low risk.
What about your pet cat?
Thus far, pet cats have not been a known source of human infection. There have been only the occasional cases of cats becoming ill from their owners, and they have only been mildly ill.
In a 2020 study in Wuhan, almost 15% of cats had antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 virus, suggesting they either were infected by people or other cats.
So, It would be prudent to keep some distance from your pet if you are ill with Covid, so as not to accidentally infect them.
