OVER 20,000 people have signed a petition calling for Katie Price to be banned from owning pets for life.
The online plea has gradually risen in recent months following the purchase of her latest puppy Captain.

Just last week, fans expressed concern over the way Katie was holding the dog.
“Poor dog, being held terribly!” one wrote, as a second chimed in to agree: “Hold the dog properly love.”
“That poor dog being used like an accessory,” a third said scathingly, as they noted how the puppy was being held just by the chest.
Last year The Sun revealed how the mum-of-five gave her pooch, called Precious, to a member of the crew working on her latest TV show.
Precious was a gift for Princess following the death of her beloved dog Rolo, who was found by Harvey’s carer after getting stuck under an armchair.
Shortly after the death of the French bulldog the petition was launched by a concerned animal lover.
Her Alsatian, Sparkle, was hit by a car when it escaped her home and ran out onto the road.
“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,” it read.

“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.”
Animal rights group PETA has also said Katie should be stopped from owning any more pets.
PETA director, Elisa Allen, told The Sun: “Given her track record with animals, several of whom have died in her ‘care’, it would be irresponsible and reckless for Katie to be allowed to acquire another one.
“And any breeder willing to sell to her is clearly putting profit over the animals’ welfare.”
