Kim Kardashian shares photos of her kids' four new puppies amid PETA criticism

Kim Kardashian showed off four Pomeranian puppies she gave each of her children for Christmas, posting two group photos on Instagram on Saturday. She captioned the images, “welcome to the fam,” and celebrity friends reacted warmly; Vanessa Bryant commented, “Omg.

They’re so cute! 🥰.” Not all responses were positive. Some commenters wrote, “girl u do not need 4 dogs,” and “I hope I see these dogs in 10-15 years with you ugh.” PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk had earlier called the gift “callous,” saying “Puppies are not plushies,” and urged Kardashian to contact PETA or a local shelter before bringing animals into her home.

Kardashian also revealed the present on her Instagram Stories, writing, “each kid got a puppy.” She shares four children — North, 12; Saint, 10; Chicago, 8; and Psalm, 6 — with her ex-husband, Kanye West. This is not her first dog-related controversy.
