Dogs have a much lower carbon footprint than children, nothing about that news is sad.
Are you suggesting we should replace humans with dogs?

Sad if you enjoy kids, great if you’re child free. There are enough options for everyone to maximize their happiness potential on this topic. (And that rent, woof)
> There are enough options... Maybe , with regard to living in an area with/without kids around. But for those who want to have children of their own...what I've heard from younger folks around here, that really does not look like an option anymore, unless you're in the 1%.
Wish we had a hell of a lot more of these in the USA. Especially pet-free apartments. Something needs to be done about the service animal loophole though, far too many people abusing that system to bring e.g. pair of pitbulls into communities that only allow small dogs or the few rare gems that allow no dogs at all.

I haven't lived in SK but I'm surprised there are many people who would let their kids be disruptive.
Earth is overpopulated, Thanos was correct.

I find few things as obnoxiously childish as grown people that don't want to handle kids being around.
It used to be if a kid was misbehaving or damaging property, you could, as a random adult, tell them to stop. Now, you can't dare speak without the potential of an ugly confrontation because you dared talk to their little price or princess.
If that's the norm, I'd rather not have stranger's kids around in public spaces.

And I know the stats on dog attacks. Something like 10 a year from pitbulls could easily be down to owners buying them specifically to use them as weapons and training them as such.
Modest idea: Moderately tax no-kids zones. Spend the money to subsidize services which are ~essential to those with young children (such as day care) and ~useless to those without.
A better starting point is to take down artificial costs imposed on childrearing, like https://thezvi.substack.com/p/on-car-seats-as-contraception
