Britney Spears has been criticised by animal rights types for setting a bad example by buying a puppy from a pet shop - a Yorkshire terrier called London, apparently, who has reportedly already been out clubbing with the singer in Hollywood.
Stephanie Shain of the Humane Society Of The United States says: "Ms Spears is setting a damaging example to the public. Most dogs sold in pet stores come from puppy mills - factory-like facilities, churning out purebred and 'designer' puppies in large numbers. Every time someone purchases a dog from a pet store, they risk perpetuating the horrendous business of puppy mills".
So, yeah, Britney. What Stephanie said.
