Kim Kardashian gets slammed for controversial kitten photo

Photobucket
Kim Kardashian, who is currently in Sydney, is aware of all the uproar about her picture but she insists that she has done nothing wrong. Addressing the matter on her blog, she claims that no harm was caused to the animal by her during the photo shoot

The reality-star posted a new picture of herself on her Twitter
account, where she is seen wearing a dangerously low-cut outfit and holding a kitty merely by its neck scruff.



Picture..not so perfect
A small black cat seems to be dangling from Kardashian�s left hand as she poses for the camera, sporting a pout on her face. �Pic from my photoshoot yesterday...good kitty cat,� reads a message accompanying the picture.

Soon after she posted that picture, the Twitter world went abuzz with hate comments for the celebrity for being unkind to the poor animal. Kardashian�s picture also sparked a new debate on the right way to hold a kitten.

While many people slammed her for her poor handling of the kitten, there were also those who sided with the socialite, saying kittens can actually be held that way.

Learn, how to handle a cat?
However, PETA strongly disagrees. Not only did they write to Kardashian about the correct method of holding a kitten gently, they also tried to instruct the public on the matter. The animal rights organization wants to raise the awareness of people on handling kittens.

The cat was not harmed in any way and is perfectly fine! I love animals and would never do anything to harm any animals -- Kim Kardashian

�Kim Kardashian isn't the only person who mistakenly thinks that because a mother cat picks up her kittens by the scruff of the neck that a supportive hand under the rump isn't needed,� said a spokesperson for PETA.

Kardashian: The cat was not harmed
Meanwhile, Kardashian, who is currently in Sydney, is aware of all the uproar about her picture but she insists that she has done nothing wrong. Addressing the matter on her blog, she claims that no harm was caused to the animal by her during the photo shoot.

�I have been getting negative comments regarding the way I was holding the kitty, but rest assured, the owner and vet were on set and showed me how to pick him up. ...� Kardashian wrote.
