Have you heard? Paris is under investigation by the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services for a pet violation. No, it’s not over Tinkerbell’s new skinny jeans and their circulation-constricting potential.
Nope. It’s the result of her seventeen(!) dogs—a no-no in LA where three is the max.
When asked how she’d managed to amass so many, the heiress-cum-starlet replied, “They keep having babies, and I feel bad about giving them away.”
Clearly, Paris has not been brought up in the ways of those of us who know that spaying and neutering your pets is a surefire method of preventing pregnancy. I’d hazard to guess that Paris doesn’t have the same kind of confusion when it comes to her own birth control.
It’s this kind of irresponsibility (in spite of her unparalleled access to education) that makes most of us just want to scratch our heads and wonder what goes on in the minds of those who would defend her for the “excellent care” she provides her pets.
(See? I managed a whole post on Paris and her proliferating pooches without referencing the word "bitch" or "breeder.")
I'd like to see ALL her animals taken away and given to people who actually do not want them as fashion accessories, but as pets to be loved and made part of a family. Somehow I don't think they would really miss her. (They might miss the staff that has actually been taking care of them...)
Just more evidence that the girl doesn't have 2 brain cells to rub together.
I actually wrote about this on my blog this morning. I'm not sure how I feel about it - I have multiple pets (5 cats - the limit in our town). Seventeen is certainly excessive. What really gets me though is that she hasn't had them spayed or neutered. That's just sad, and it is uneducated! She has the money and the people around her - someone should just tell her what's what and have these animals properly taken care of!
I'm very confused by that comment, Tammy. For someone as rich as Paris, do you think these are mutts? These have to be purebred dogs, and that mindset is that fixing them means ruining their purebredness. I would fully expect that she would have intact dogs.
Eh, as someone who knows someone... who has dealt with Paris and her pets- LOL- I've heard her pets are taken extremely well care of. HOWEVER, of course, not by Paris herself! Could you imagine her waking around with a couture doggy doodie bag? LMAO!
Anyways- I am disgusted that her dogs are not fixed- particularly the types of dogs she owns which would seem to need medical intervention a lot to give birth. (I just picture very tiny dogs as having difficult pregnancies/deliveries). As someone who brags about her pets- she should treat them as SUCH- pets! Pets shoudl be spayed/neutered and well taken care of.
As to the number- Hugh Heffner has a helluvalot more animals then Paris Hilton, BUT they are supposedly taken care of perfectly AND he went out of his way to get a permit to have the number he owns. I don't think the number bothers me as much with Paris as the irresponsibility- if I had caretakers for my animals, I'd have 17 cats! (Not dogs- could you imagine the barking? GAH!)
My comment is just opinion. She is not a breeder - it seems irresponsible to have so many animals un-spayed or un-neutered and allow them to continue having puppies...
I agree Trish. It's not the number. I'd have a zillion if I could (and if they would be happy together). The fact that she still goes to pet shops and buys pups (as recently as 2007) is also testament to her chronically impulsive way with living things.
Even if they are purebred, if she's not actively showing and competing with them, they need to be altered. The only good reason to keep a dog intact is to add something positive to a breeding program. Just being purebred is not enough.
