Kim Kardashian faces fresh backlash over puppy photo after PETA criticism

Kim Kardashian has been called out for her latest post online after getting heat from PETA.

Kardashian is no stranger to the backlash from the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, aka, PETA, having previously met their wrath in 2023.

But this time, others have jumped on board to call her out.

Kardashian, who has been the owner of Pomeranians for a number of years, recently posted a picture of four little Pom puppies, one for each of her children – North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, six.

The mom-of-four posted pictures and videos of her new pups, which were given to her kids as Christmas gifts, which were met with immediate criticism.

“girl u do not need 4 dogs,” said one social media commenter.

Another said: “They are not accessories. Please treat them with kindness and respect.”

Someone else asked: “What happened to the last dogs?”

These comments come after PETA hit out at the end of December, when the reality star announced the new additions to her family.

Ingrid Newkirk, the company's founder, slammed the SKIMS mogul and sister Khloe Kardashian, who also got a new dog for Christmas.

"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," they told the Daily Mail.

"Ignoring the homeless animals crisis is inexcusably callous, and so we ask Kim and Khloe, who did the same thing, to call PETA or a local shelter the next time they want to bring an animal into their home—and try to make some amends now by sending their kids to volunteer at a local shelter or paying for a local shelter adopt-a-thon or at least one spay day to help stop the growing homeless puppy crisis."

But this isn’t the first time PETA has called out Kardashian for her Pomeranians.

They also took aim in January 2023 after she shared a video of her dogs in a cage in what appeared to be her garage.

The body told Page Six: "Knowing that Kim Kardashian is anti-fur and mostly vegan, we are hoping hard that she does not relegate her dogs to life in a garage.

“What PETA does know is that dogs are highly social pack animals who need more than just soft beds and decorative stockings.

"They deserve to feel safe, loved, and to live inside the house as part of the family.”
