Overview
- Kim Kardashian posted on Dec. 25 that “Each kid got a puppy,” sharing images of four small Pomeranians for North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
- PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk declared “Puppies are not plushies” and called the decision “inexcusably callous” given the homeless animal crisis.
- PETA urged Kardashian to contact a shelter next time and suggested having her children volunteer or funding an adopt-a-thon or at least one spay day.
- Khloé Kardashian also introduced a new puppy for her family and was included in PETA’s call for choosing shelter adoption.
- Multiple outlets report ongoing social-media criticism of the gifts, and Kim’s representatives have not responded to requests for comment.
