Tragedy struck in June when Blade was tragically hit by a car, leaving Katie devastated. Unfortunately, this heartbreak also drew attention to the petition aimed at preventing the former glamour model from acquiring more animals.
Shockingly, this marks the seventh pet under Katie's care to meet an untimely end, prompting around 35,000 individuals to sign the plea that urges the prohibition of Katie Price from obtaining any more animals.
Katie, who has always proclaimed her love for animals, was deeply saddened by the loss of Blade, whom she referred to as her 'best friend' and 'protector'. Now, she is determined to ensure the safety and well-being of her new companion, Tank.
Observing Tank's playful demeanor as Katie showered the pup with attention during its first outdoor adventure, it's evident that Katie is committed to providing a nurturing home for her new furry friend.
Sources close to Katie disclosed to The Sun that she hopes Tank will eventually step into the role of her new protection dog and help fill the void left by Blade's passing. Despite criticism and doubts from critics, Katie remains resolute in her determination to prove them wrong and give Tank the love and care he deserves.
The unfortunate string of pet losses within Katie's household has raised concerns. Blade was the fifth dog in Katie's care to experience an untimely demise, along with a horse and a chameleon. Queenie, a dog gifted to Katie for her 38th birthday, met a tragic end after being struck by a pizza delivery van in 2018. A heartbreaking incident involving her daughter's puppy Rolo occurred in 2020, when the pup reportedly suffocated after becoming trapped in an electric armchair while unsupervised.
Blade's passing was preceded by the death of Katie's Pomeranian, Sharon, who was also struck by a car on the same road. Another dog, Sparkle, an Alsatian, lost its life after being hit by a car while venturing onto a busy road in 2020. In an attempt to console her daughter Princess, who was deeply affected by Sparkle's demise, Katie brought home Rolo. Moreover, an unnamed horse from her property met a tragic end after escaping and being hit by a car. Additionally, Marvin the chameleon is said to have passed away, possibly due to the emotional stress of Junior, Katie's 18-year-old son, moving in with her ex-husband, Peter Andre.
Notably, Katie had to part ways with another Alsatian, Bear, in 2019, after it displayed aggressive behavior towards other animals. The online petition calling for action against Katie alleges a 'lack of care' from her and her family, along with other accusations of animal cruelty. The petition's plea is straightforward: "We need to stop this now; no more animals need to die."
Recent reports indicate that the RSPCA visited Katie's home, examining the living conditions of her animals. Their findings apparently did not raise any concerns about the environment in which her pets were being kept. Responding to the petition, a spokesperson for Katie emphasized that she is "aware" of its existence but vehemently refutes its claims. In their statement, they assert that the petition is based on hearsay rather than concrete facts. Katie's love for her animals remains unwavering, and the spokesperson emphasizes that any insinuation to the contrary is "incorrect, unjust, and unkind," and stands far from the truth.
