PETA is calling out Britney Spears for purchasing a dog instead of adopting one.
The singer revealed her new pup on Instagram yesterday, sharing a video of them playing together at home. "Introducing Snow … the new edition [sic] to the family," Britney wrote in the post. "It's her world, and we just live in it."
People thought Snow was the cutest thing — but PETA didn't seem so thrilled.
In a statement shared with TMZ and also on X (formerly known as Twitter), a rep for the organization criticized Britney and called her "toxic" for seemingly purchasing a dog when she should have "adopted."
"When influential people buy puppies, puppy mills cheer, and animal shelters watch the homeless-animal crisis get even worse. With this one cutesy post, Britney Spears has sentenced countless deserving dogs in shelters to more days without love, a comfy bed to curl up on, or a chance at a real life."
They continued, saying: "She could have been a force for good and adopted, but instead she chose to be toxic, and animals will pay with their lives."
