Katie Price in fresh PETA row over Dubai puppy

Katie Price and PETA are back in the spotlight after the former glamour model bought a new puppy in Dubai.
Katie shared a video with husband Lee Andrews as they signed paperwork for the dog. The puppy is a male Pomsky, a cross between a Siberian Husky and a Pomeranian.
The contract in the clip listed a price of 9,800 dirhams. That works out at roughly £2,000.
Lee said they were the “proud parents” of a “baby boy” in the footage. Katie added: “We have no children but this is our little boy.”

PETA’s previous criticism of Katie Price and the £5,000 offer
PETA has previously criticised Katie Price over her record with pets.

PETA UK has publicly urged her to stop acquiring more animals.
The charity has said a £5,000 offer remains open if she agrees not to obtain any more pets.
PETA UK’s Senior Vice President Mimi Bekhechi has been the main spokesperson for the charity’s comments on the issue.

Why did the Katie Price PETA row erupt again?
Reaction came quickly after the video appeared online. The Daily Star reported that animal rights charity PETA condemned Katie’s decision to get another pet.
In a statement given to the Daily Mail, PETA UK’s Senior Vice President Mimi Bekhechi said: “Is there no low to which Katie Price will not stoop? While one of her cats, Doris, is reportedly still missing, instead of being worried sick and out searching for her, as any caring, responsible guardian would, she has flown to another country and acquired a new dog, as easily as one replaces a pair of socks.
“And a Pomsky of all animals, in the Dubai heat, to add insult to injury. How many animals have been lost, discarded, or have died under her so-called ‘care’ before authorities ban her from keeping animals?”
Mimi also repeated the charity’s earlier offer. She added: “PETA’s £5,000 offer for her to stop collecting animals still stands, and we implore her to take us up on it. For the sake of Doris, this puppy, and any other animals unfortunate enough to cross her path.”
