Petition for Katie Price to be banned from owning dogs reaches 20k signatures after she buys another pup

dailyrecord.co.uk:

An online petition which is calling for glamour model Katie Price to be banned from owning dogs for life has reached 20,000 signatures after the star was pictured with a tiny new puppy, Captain.The petition, which was launched last year, has seen a sudden influx of backers since Captain's arrival, writes The Mirror.The mum-of-five took to Instagram last week to share a snap of herself cuddling into her new pet and many flocked to the comments.Followers hit out at the 44-year-old, saying comments such as: "Poor dog, being held terribly!" and "That poor dog being used like an accessory."In 2020, Katie's Alsatian, Sparkle, was hit by a car and killed after it escaped from her home and ran out onto the road.Last year, meanwhile, a carer for Katie's eldest child, Harvey, found another family pet - French Bulldog, Precious - dead after it had got stuck under an armchair.Following Precious' death the petition was launched by a concerned animal lover."A puppy has died in the last 24 hours in Katie Price's care, she bought this puppy for her 13-year-old child 3 weeks ago," the petition's scathing wording began."In the last 5 years more animals have died from lack of care.

Horses. Dogs. Cats Lizards Hedgehogs. This isn't a single family tragedy. It's a common thing in Katie Price's home."It went on to elude to further alleged issues with her canine ownership: "2 dogs have been ran over.

Puppies were found dead drowning in a neglected swimming pool."Her guard dog broke into her neighbours garden and killed their chickens.

A dog trained to attack people."3 weeks a bulldog puppy named Rola was in her care. Nobody knows including her how it died. We need to stop this now.
