Increase the single owning a pet home: This is 58.8% against 46.2% in 2008. It 's the result of a survey that the statistical service of Aida (Italian association defense animal and environment) is proposed for the third consecutive year on a sample of 698 single respondents taking into account both their age ', sex and residence.
''The growth of the presence of pets - highlights the association - and 'was constant over three years, in fact it rose from 46.2% in 2008 to 47.6% in 2009 while between 2009 and 2010 the increase amounted to around 11 percentage points. Also interesting to discover what animals are preferred by singles: just under 50% of respondents said that animal has to have a small dog, to own the dogs are mostly retired people or young people who live alone.''
After the dogs, says Aida,''arriving with about 35% of the vote to cats, animals that seem more 'independent they are preferred by women and those who spend most of the day outside the home. There also were those who have aquariums, or canaries or other small birds are also slight but steady growth of freshwater turtles and rabbits. Over 20% of single states also have more 'of an animal at home. On average, the time that the single state to devote to the dog or cat house 'for two hours on weekdays, and grows up to 6-7 hours on Saturdays and holidays are the people who work, and devote an average of 4 hours a day with their furry friends and retirees. Rabbits are preferred by single women and youth, while the males almost unanimously 'said they have dogs or cats.
While canaries and fish are in strings of old people with much time.''
Growth in the presence of pets and in particular dogs and cats in the homes of single, said Lorenzo Croce, the National President of Aida,''and 'a significant fact which must be taken into account. We monitor the phenomenon for three years and as ever this year we noticed the growth of this phenomenon, which now covers more than half 'of the Italian singles. In particular, we have noted with satisfaction the fact that almost all respondents who reported taking a pet in the last two years, at least in dogs and cats admitted to have applied to kennels or catteries are a tiny minority while those who purchased animals.''
Last ''should not be underestimated given the cross-claims-concerns instead those who are now the single because of divorce or separation of the couple, who represent about 15% of respondents who say they have kept the vast majority of animals that were previously shared with former husband and his ex-wife ' '.
