Nothing immediately comes to mind to explain why there are apparently such high differences in pet ownership rates between various American ethnic groups. It can’t really come down to socioeconomic status… even Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel had himself a smell hound.
Dog or cat ownership rates in households by race/ethnicity in the United States in 2011
Black : 22%
Asian: 27%
Hispanic: 40%
White non-Hispanic: 61%
Me, I can’t imagine not having pets. To the point that I don’t think any properly designed space station doesn’t have proper litter facilities for the station cats.
