Kim Kardashian is getting roasted for giving puppies as Christmas presents. The reality star gave her four kids each a Pomeranian puppy, a move that instantly pissed off PETA. The animal rights group, through its founder Ingrid Newkirk, slammed Kim for buying from breeders instead of adopting rescue dogs. They also called out her sister Khloe Kardashian for getting a black Lab puppy named Peppermint earlier this year.
Newkirk called the puppies seasonal accessories, not toys. She said Kim wasted a huge chance to promote shelter adoptions. The statement expressed major disappointment with the decision. PETA suggested the family could try to fix things by having the kids volunteer at a shelter or fund an adoption event. They pushed the idea that celebrities should help homeless animals, not create more demand for bred pets.
The group firmly believes famous people need to use their influence better. They want platforms like Kim's to focus on solving the pet overpopulation crisis. The criticism highlights a constant debate about responsible pet ownership versus buying trendy animals. PETA's message is clear about favoring adoption over shopping.
