Kim Kardashian recently gave fans a glimpse into her family’s Christmas celebrations, but the reveal has sparked backlash online. The reality TV star took to social media to share what she gifted her four children this year, and the reaction was swift, with many users questioning her decision.
According to Unilad, the 45-year-old disclosed that North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, six, each received a puppy for Christmas. Kardashian shares all four children with her ex-husband, rapper Kanye West. While the gesture was presented as a festive surprise, it didn’t sit well with a section of her audience, who voiced concerns about the responsibility and long-term commitment that comes with giving pets as gifts.
In a series of posts, Kim shared videos of the Pomeranian puppies playfully running around her sprawling mansion, clearly capturing the excitement of the moment. She also uploaded close-up photos of each dog, including one adorably dressed with a red bow tie. “Each kid got a puppy,” she captioned the post, a simple line that quickly became the centre of a heated debate across social media platforms
People are questioning if puppies make good Christmas gifts
Fans quickly took to social media to share their thoughts about the gifts. Many people were not impressed with Kim’s decision to give her kids puppies for Christmas.
“They treat animals like monopoly. Like yeah they’re really cute but,” one person wrote. Another person said the family is “running out of things to buy since they have and get anything they want year round.”
Some people expressed worry about the dogs themselves. “Take a deep dive into where these pets end up! Think about all the pets they’ve shown that you never see again,” one commenter said. Many others shared similar concerns about the puppies’ wellbeing. This isn’t the first time Kim has faced criticism, as she previously dealt with NASA over moon landing comments.
However, some fans defended Kim’s choice. They pointed out that the Kardashian-West kids have grown up with dogs around them. Kim also had dogs when she was a child.
In a past interview, Kim talked about growing up with Dobermans, which were her father Robert’s favorite breed. “We’ve always had dogs. I think dogs are great to be around and such a valuable part of the family,” she said. Despite the puppy backlash, Kim recently shared rare photos for a friend’s birthday that got a warmer response from fans.
