Animal protection charity PETA is mounting pressure on Katie Price to give up her pet for good on the condition that she pays her £5,000 if she promises never to own a pet again.
The actress has come under fire in recent years over the deaths of seven animals in her care, and has come under fire from animal lovers as well as animal charities.
Now, although Ms. Price welcomed a new Sphynx kitten in January, the same month she gave away her newest puppy, Tank, PETA sent Ms. Price an open letter stating that she did not agree to do so. He sent an open letter offering £5,000 and “an array of beautiful stuffed animals”. She signs a legal document promising not to have any more pets.
“While your intentions may be good, it is impossible to ignore the ever-increasing number of animals dying or being surrendered under your care,” PETA Vice President Elisa Allen said in a statement. “People are right to be concerned. Whatever reason you offer, that's just as well.” I hope you agree that the fact is that you are always hurting these sensitive, sentient people because of their suffering, abandonment, or termination, and this is the solution. . ”
The letter also referred to Ms Price's financial difficulties, going on to say: “While accepting this amount may relieve some of your financial stress, it also means that your home is not occupied by animals.'' It shows that you are willing to admit that you are not suitable for captivity. And while many people would like to have an animal companion, not everyone can or should. Not.
“Such a decision would be praised by fans and would show kids that there are considerations beyond just what someone else wants, and that it's in the best interests of the living, feeling being that you are.” It will send a message to everyone that we are going to take action.”
PETA added that the offer to sign a legally binding contract is valid for 12 months, “as an added incentive to post on social media and to share with your children.”
The mother-of-five has lost five dogs, a horse and a chameleon since 2017, sparking outrage from animal lovers and conservation charities.
In 2017, her beloved horse escaped from a field and was hit by a car, and her beloved dogs Sparkle, Sharon, and Blade also died in traffic accidents in 2020, 2022, and 2023. In 2018, another dog, Queenie, died after being run over by a delivery man, a chameleon, Marvin, also died in the same year, and in 2020, a puppy, Lolo, suffocated in an electric armchair and died just weeks after they were adopted. .
She also had to give away her dog, Bear, after he had several near-accidents in which he ran into the road and attacked other animals, and another dog, Precious, was killed by a member of her canine production staff. It is rumored that it was transferred to TV program.
After losing her dog Blade in 2023, Price lashed out at people who say people shouldn't own pets, writing in an Instagram post: “Who says you shouldn't own animals? Why not own animals?” Do you want me to tell you if it's not allowed? Tell me.” Why? I'm going to prove all the assholes wrong when they say or believe anything.
“I issued an RSPCA and they ticked all the boxes to say my animal was healthy. They ticked all the boxes.”
In 2020, a petition was launched with more than 36,000 signatures calling for Price to be banned from owning any more pets, but Price is said to have been devastated.
Her representative said at the time that the case was “completely biased and based on hearsay, not fact, and is a devastating blow.”
“Katie loves her animals and to say otherwise is inaccurate, unfair and unkind. This couldn't be further from the truth.”
Price was heartbroken when one of her pets, Blade, passed away in June 2023, writing on Instagram: “Nothing in the world can express the loss of my best friend, my protector. “I have nothing for all those who sadly passed away today,” she wrote. I have the words to express my feelings, but the numbness and shock tear the blade apart. ”
But after Blade's death, PETA said in a statement: “After a seventh animal died in her care, Katie Price should be sued not only in the court of public opinion, but in court and permanently banned from keeping animals. ” he said.
“PETA urges authorities to investigate Blade's death and reminds the public that Price is not the only one with blood on her hands.
“The greedy breeders who continue to sell or 'gift' animals to her are also to blame, as they know full well what the likely outcome will be.”
