Katie Price, the former glamour model known as Jordan, has recently opened up about the tragic experiences she has faced with her pets. In her new memoir, “This Is Me,” she sets the record straight on being branded a ‘pet-killer’ after several of her animals have died over the years.
Price has been accused of neglecting her pets and has even faced calls for her to be banned from owning animals altogether. However, she claims that the public’s perception of her as a ‘pet-killer’ is completely different from the reality of what has happened.
RSPCA Inspection and the Collapsed Horse Incident
In her book, Price recounts an incident where RSPCA officers arrived at her home following reports that she had abandoned a collapsed horse in a field. She claims that this couldn’t be further from the truth and that she actually joined the RSPCA officers as they inspected her stables and paddock, where her horses were resting. The officers appeared to be relaxed about the welfare of the animals, but when they ventured to the field where the horse had allegedly collapsed, Price informed them that it was, in fact, a metal statue horse.
Tragic Deaths of Blade and Princess
Price has suffered heartache over the years, including the death of her beloved dog, Blade, who was killed by a Dominos Pizza delivery driver on her driveway. The driver allegedly refused to stop, leaving Price “absolutely in bits” when she received the call from her ex-husband, Kieran Hayler.
Another tragic incident was the death of her horse, Princess, which she had loaned out. The horse was killed on a dual carriageway near Price’s former home, which had been closed due to escaped horses. Price revealed that she was “devastated” and felt “so helpless” when she saw her horse dead on the road.
The Puppy Suffocation Incident
One incident that Price was particularly keen to set the record straight on was the death of a puppy she had purchased for her daughter Princess’ 13th birthday. The little French Bulldog suffocated to death after getting stuck under an armchair at Price’s home. She fought valiantly to resuscitate the pup, administering CPR and rushing him to the vet, where she learned it was sadly too late. Price claims that the breeder had given them CBD oil to give the dog, which may have contributed to its death.
Ongoing Accusations and Petitions
Despite Price’s efforts to share her side of the story, she continues to face accusations of neglecting her pets. A petition was set up in 2020 on the platform Change.com, lobbying for the star not to be able to buy any more animals. Leading animal charity PETA has also previously criticized Katie.
In response to the online petition, a rep for Price said:
“Katie is aware of this petition. It comes as a devastating blow as it is wholly biased, based on hearsay not actual fact. Katie loves her animals and to say otherwise is incorrect, unjust and unkind. It couldn’t be further from the truth.”
