Overview
- Kardashian posted on Dec. 25 that "Each kid got a puppy," sharing images of four small Pomeranians—two dark, one cream, and one sable.
- PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk said "Puppies are not plushies" and criticized buying from breeders during an animal homelessness crisis.
- PETA suggested the family make amends by having the children volunteer at shelters or by funding local adopt-a-thons or a spay day.
- Multiple outlets report Kardashian has not publicly addressed the criticism, and representatives did not immediately comment.
- Khloé Kardashian was also called out after revealing a black Labrador puppy gift, as coverage noted broader concerns over adopting versus buying pets.
