Britney scolded again.
The Humane Society of the United States is worried about the example Britney Spears set this weekend when she bought a purebred Yorkshire Terrier puppy at a pet store.
In a press release, the Society’s director of outreach for companion animals Stephanie Shain said: “Most dogs sold in pet stores come from puppy mills — factory-like facilities, churning out purebred and “designer” puppies in large numbers…Every time someone purchases a dog from a pet store, they risk perpetuating the horrendous business of puppy mills.”
Further, the organization is concerned with the seeming haste with which Spears purchased the $3,000 puppy. Shain contines, “Choosing a dog is a major lifestyle decision that should not be taken lightly. We suggest that people take time to choose a member of their family, and to be sure they are working with a reputable breeder.”
While Spears could never be accused of taking her time with major lifestyle decisions, especially when it comes to new additions to her family, the Humane Society is eager to lend the popstar a hand with her new pup. Shain tells Spears, “If you send us a copy of your dog’s papers, we’d be happy to look into the situation for you.”
PS: I love that picture.

Let’s address the fact that she has or had about 5 others. So either she’s collecting them and paying little to no attention to them – kind of like the kids OR she’s trading them in for new once the “puppy” wears off. Any way you slice it, the last thing she needs is another living breathing thing dependant upon her. How’s the dog going to get groomed if Britney can’t even be in charge of her own(by her own hands or someone elses) grooming?

I can’t even BELIEVE the way she looks in this picture. I used to think she was one of the sexiest women on the planet…..YIKES….now look at her.

She is such a disgrace!

She probably comes from the Paris Hilton school of pet ownership!

Jesus Christ people, do you have to be on her back about everything. I know she behaves like ghetto trash but can’t the girl buy a freaking dog with some humane society blaming her for the pure bred dog selling industry ills. Get real, she cannot be responsible for that.

Amen, UpYours. She does look quite the fright in that picture, though. Man, I keep waiting & hoping & watching, thinking maybe she’ll surprise us all with her huge comeback & be the hot mama she once was….

Does anyone notice her bellybutton? What is WITH that?

It’s okay, Greenpeace are on their way around to push this vapid piece of excrement back into the sea but apparently the cetaceans are protesting.

Gross. I bet she wears that slutty belly ring well into her thirties. Why is her maturity so fucking stunted?
July 17th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
how do they know how fast (or not) she made a decision to buy a dog? Maybe (doubt it but maybe) she had been considering it for a while?

Can someone please tell me why this woman always looks so terrible. I can’t believe she looks in the mirror and thinks she looks good enough to go out of the house! She really needs a hairdresser, makeup artist and stylist that want to make her look better and not try to use her!
