Kim Kardashian is in the doghouse with PETA after gifting her four kids individual puppies for Christmas.
The reality star shared the news on her Instagram Stories, posting a photo of the tiny Pomeranians with the caption: “Each kid got a puppy.”
Kardashian shares North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and six-year-old Psalm with her ex-husband, Kanye West.
PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk didn’t hold back, criticising Kardashian for buying the dogs from a breeder rather than adopting from a shelter.
The puppies that Kim Kardashian gifted her four kids.
“Puppies are not plushies, and it’s a damn shame that Kim missed the chance to be a spokesperson for shelter pups and instead is being rightly slammed on social media for that … Ignoring the homeless animals crisis is inexcusably callous,” said Newkirk.
Additionally, Newkirk said that Kardashian can “make some amends now by sending their kids to volunteer at a local shelter.”
She also suggested the reality star can fund “a local shelter adopt-a-thon or at least one spay day to help stop the growing homeless puppy crisis.”
In a follow-up Christmas Eve vlog, Kardashian defended the decision by showing how much her kids wanted the pets.
In the video, her daughter, Chicago, tells her that a puppy is what she wants “the most” for Christmas. Kardashian also shared that her son Saint had been “begging God” for a puppy during his bedtime prayers.
