Petition to stop Katie Price owning pets soars to 36k signatures after she buys ANOTHER dog – after seven animals dying
A PETITION that was started in 2020 to get Katie Price banned from having pets has now received over 36k signatures.
The media personality sparked backlash after revealing that she is expecting a new furry addition to the family this summer.
Katie got a guard dog in response to an acid attack on her car, but the move has worried people who are aware that seven animals have died in her care to date.
She has had a dog for protection before and claims Blade was killed as an attempt to get at her.
The German Shepherd died after being hit by a vehicle on the A24, which was close to Katie’s East Sussex home.
At the time she said: “Blade, my guard dog, unfortunately, it upsets me to talk about, but has been killed by somebody, he wasn’t just run over. He was killed. There is a police investigation about it.”
The tragedy happened just seven months after another of Katie’s dogs, Sharon, was killed on the same road.
A driver picked the Pomeranian off the A24 and took her to Arun Vets in Pulborough, West Sussex, who confirmed the death.
The year before that, a delivery driver hit her Alsatian, Queenie, who was gifted to her by ex Kieran Hayler on her 38th birthday.
In 2020 a second Alsatian, Sparkle, was hit by a car after escaping onto the A24.
Months later, French Bulldog Rolo suffocated after being squashed underneath a chair.
Katie also had to give away an out-of-control Alsatian, Bear, for attacking other animals.
Leading animal charity PETA has made it clear bosses think Katie has got “blood on her hands” and should be served with a lifetime ban on keeping animals.
Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) also publicly slammed Katie after the tragic death of her protection dog Blade.
Elisa Allen, PETA Vice President of Programmes, said: “After a seventh animal died in her custody, Katie Price should be facing more than the court of public opinion – she should face a court of law and be banned for life from keeping animals.
“PETA urges authorities to look into Blade’s death and reminds the public that it’s not just Price who has blood on her hands.
“Greedy breeders who keep selling or ‘gifting’ animals to her are also to blame, as they know full well what the likely outcome will be.”
Public opinion has not stopped the former glamour model from getting new pets.
