1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation, we're talking about pets. And

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: the reason we started talking about pets is that three

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: people close to me lost their pets, their dogs. And

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: one of my friends has lost her mum not so

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: long ago, and she said, is I grieve my mum,

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: but I'm just so sad at losing my dog. She said,

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: this sadness is just overwhelming because your dog is your shadow.

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: For many of us, your dog is your absolute shadow

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: and your heart and it's in your life for maybe

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: sixteen fifteen years if you're lucky, and so just talking

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: about the bereavement that comes with the loss of a pet.

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: And pets are far more than they used to be.

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: Remember when we grew up Brendon, no one had a

14
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: No one ever walked a dog, dogs went on leads.

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Dogs just hung out in the backyard or took off

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: down the street. They chased cars because no one exercised them,

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: so they never had that kind of that need met.

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: So there's chase cars. No, the pooh just went everywhere.

19
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: So pets were different in those days. And the statistics

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: are quite interesting. People are saying that fifty percent of

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: people said that their connection to their pet was so

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: strong that they'd put them ahead of their family and friends.

23
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: Forty percent of Australians spend more money on their pets

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: than they do on themselves. And they are big implications

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: of this than in other parts of the world. China's

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: never had dogs and cats, They've never had pets until now,

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: so that now they're getting pets, and they're revering pets

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: to the detriment of the population, because what they're saying

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: is there are big implications here. There are twice as

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: many new pets as newborns in China, so the increasing

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: number of pets is contributing directly to the decline in

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: their population growth. People are saying, I get my nurturing

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: done and I get an easier way of going about

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: it than having a child. So the population is on

35
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: the decline, but pet ownership is up. And one of

36
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: the things I thought we might put it to the

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: tribal drama is that what about this. Fifty four percent

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: of dog owners said that they would end their relationship

39
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: if the dog didn't like their partner. Wow, so we're

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: putting up pets before our relationship. So have you met

41
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: mister honky pants and he comes into your life. And

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: then Minnie doesn't like mister honky Pants. He's out define

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: honky pants. Who. Actually, I'm thinking of a cross between

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Hemsy and that guy. From thinking of Henry Cavill, He's

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: the one I picked one. I read my fairy poet,

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: Henry Cavill without the point he is, and the wings

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: without the weird stuff. Henry Cavell without the weird stuff.

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: You know, I do love my dog, but Henry, You're

49
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: always welcome. Sorry me, be nice now in your pal
