Katie Price is well-known for keeping an assortment of animals at her Mucky Mansion homestead, but fans think she needs to be stopped. Some critics are so concerned that they’ve made a petition to force action, and it’s gained tens of thousands of signatures from animal lovers – soon after she posed with her new dog.
The petition on change.org has over 37,000 supporters at the time of writing, and is addressed to the RSPCA and PETA on the topic “Ban Katie price from buying any more animals.”
It was made in 2020 following the death of her French Bulldog puppy Rolo, who was welcomed to the family for daughter Princess Andre’s 13th birthday. Katie, 46, revealed that the tiny puppy died after being suffocated in an armchair while she was packing in a different room.

A spokesman for JRC Bullies – who “gifted” to dog to the Loose Women star – stated to the Mirror at the time: “We are heartbroken that this has happened as we told Katie not to leave a small puppy on its own. We can’t believe that the puppy was left unattended as we had left strict instructions.”

In the petition, the writer states: “A puppy has died in the last 24 hours in Katie Price’s care she bought this puppy for her 13 year old child 3 weeks ago. Which was killed in a accident no one witnessed.”
They allege: “In the last 5 years more animals have died from lack of care. Horses. dogs.cats lizards hedgehogs. This isn’t a single family tragedy. It’s a common thing in Katie Price’s home.
“2 dogs have been ran over. Puppies were found dead drowning in a neglected swimming pool. A horse was run over on a motorway. Animals just go missing in her home never to been seen again.”
While the petition calls on PETA for help, the animal rights charity has already addressed Katie’s care of her animals – and last year even offered to give her £5000 cash if she signs a legal agreement promising not to buy another pet.

In an open letter to the Celebrity Big Brother housemate, PETA’s Vice President Elisa Allen wrote: “While your intentions may be good, the ever-growing number of animals who have either died under your supervision or been given away is impossible to ignore, and people are rightly concerned.

“Whatever you may offer as reasons for their suffering, relinquishment, or demise, the fact is that you are consistently harming these sensitive, sentient individuals, and I hope you agree that this is a solution.”
Reports indicate that at least eight of Katie’s animals have passed away under her care in a variety of different ways, including five dogs, a horse, and a chameleon.
