<p id=”par-2_34″>On Christmas, Kardashian revealed in her Instagram Stories that she gifted her children, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kim-kardashian-posts-family-christmas-photo-confusing-outfit.html/”>North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm</a>, Pomeranian puppies. She shared a photo of the dogs sitting in a row on the couch. </p>
<p id=”par-3_21″>Ingrid Newkirk, the founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), criticized Kardashian’s decision to give pets as gifts.</p>
<p id=”par-4_40″>“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,” Newkirk told the <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15416261/Kim-Kardashian-Khloe-PETA-Christmas-puppies-dog.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Daily Mail</a> in a statement.</p>

<p id=”par-5_50″>She added that Kardashian should “call PETA or a local shelter the next time” she wants to bring home a pet. Newkirk also believes that Kardashian and her sister Khloé, who also <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/khloe-kardashian-says-tortures-tristan-thompson-privately-away-kids.html/”>gave her kids</a> a dog, should give back to an animal shelter to make up for the presents. </p>
<p id=”par-6_78″>“Ignoring the homeless animals crisis is inexcusably callous, and so we ask Kim and Khloé, 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.”</p>
