Britney announced on her Instagram that she had a new addition to her family - a tiny new puppy named Snow. In a series of adorable videos of the little white pup, Britney wrote to her 42.1 million followers: "Introducing Snow...the new addition to the family...it's her world and we just live in it [sic]" followed by a series of facepalming emojis.
After the Toxic singer posted the announcement of her newest pet, a representative for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, criticised the decision. While it is unclear whether or not Britney purchased or adopted Snow, a representative of PETA told TMZ: "When influential people buy puppies, puppy mills cheer and animal shelters watch the homeless-animal crisis get even worse."
They continued to explain that the influential star had the ability to promote adopting, but chose not to contributing to the already growing problem of overcrowded animal shelters. They told the publication: "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."
