PETA has an issue

PETA called out Wilson and his wife for adopting a specially bred dog. They claim that the couple killed the chance of a shelter dog finding a home. The organization would have liked to see them rescue a dog rather than buy one from a breeder. According to PETA, “Mother dogs are often locked inside filthy cages and bred over and over until their bodies give out.”

The animal rights organization even used some of Ciara’s songs as reference. They think that the couple made a ” ‘One, Two Step’ mistake by killing a shelter dog’s chances of finding a home.” PETA continued to refer to songs and write, “PETA is calling on the couple to ‘Level Up’ on kindness by adopting a companion for this pup instead of fueling the homeless-animal crisis.” The way they referred to Ciara’s songs was hilarious. PETA believes that being adored by the fans, Wilson and Ciara should send a message by rescuing dogs rather than buying bred puppies. What are your thoughts on this situation?
