Criticism and Pet Ownership Controversies
Katie Price has faced backlash and accusations of neglect following these incidents, with some animal rights groups and members of the public calling for her to be banned from owning more pets. Despite the string of accidents, Katie has continued to keep pets, and the incidents have been widely covered by the media, adding to the controversy surrounding her pet ownership.
This list may not include every pet Katie Price has owned, but it covers many of the more widely reported tragedies.
Finally, in 2022, the animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) offered Katie Price £5,000 to sign an agreement promising that she would stop adopting any more animals. This came after a series of tragic incidents involving her pets, many of which died under unfortunate circumstances. PETA voiced concerns over Katie Price’s ability to care for her pets, given the repeated accidents and deaths, and made the offer as part of their efforts to prevent further harm to animals in her care.
PETA's UK director, Elisa Allen, expressed the organization’s concerns publicly, and this offer attracted significant media attention. Katie Price did not accept the offer, and the situation fuelled ongoing controversy regarding her pet ownership.
