Christmas may be officially over, but the gifts Kim Kardashian gave her four children will stay with them for a long time.
Because each of their offspring got their own puppy for a contemplative celebration – and that makes Peta pretty angry.
The animal welfare organization has now spoken out and once again points out that puppies are not stuffed animals, but are real living beings that come with a lot of responsibility.
Peta criticizes Kim Kardashian for the puppies
For Kim Kardashian’s four children, whom she has with her ex-husband Kanye West, 2025 was a special Christmas – The family is now richer by four puppies.

We have often heard from various animal protection organizations that animals should not be gifts – and that is exactly what Peta itself emphasizes in a statement to “People”:
“Puppies are not stuffed animals, and it’s a real shame that Kim missed the chance to advocate for shelter puppies and instead is rightly criticized for it on social media.”
Peta founder Ingrid Newkirk also appealed to Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé Kardashian, who also gave their family a dog for Christmas.
They should “contact PETA or a local animal shelter next time”if you want to add another dog to the family.
Peta suggests volunteering for Kim Kardashian’s children
The animal welfare organization also has an idea for Kim Kardashian and her children, who are between the ages of six and twelve:
“They can now try to make amends by sending their children to volunteer at a local animal shelter, or by paying for a local animal shelter adoption drive, or at least a spay/neuter day to help stem the growing homeless puppy crisis.”
Kim Kardashian shared the addition of four Pomeranian puppies to her family on her Instagram account. In addition to the special Christmas present, the family also already owns other Pomeranian dogs.
Kim Kardashian has also posted photos of her pet lizard named “Speed” on her social media channels several times.
