Kim Kardashian, an American celebrity, actress, and businesswoman, recently gave her four children—North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6—their own pups for Christmas. On her Instagram Stories, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians actress posted a picture of the four puppies snuggling together along with the caption, "Each kid got a puppy."

PETA slams Kim Kardashian

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has now criticized Kim for giving her kids pups. PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk attacked Kim in a statement released to PEOPLE on Sunday, December 28, saying, "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."
