Britney Spears has turned off her Instagram comments following criticism over her new puppy that suggests, as a result, “animals will pay with their lives.”
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals took to social media to slam Spears for not being a “force for good,” accusing the famous singer of purchasing a dog instead of adopting.

“With one cutesy post, @BritneySpears ignored countless deserving dogs in shelters who so desperately need love, a comfy bed to curl up on, & a chance at a real life,” PETA posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “She could have been a force for good and adopted, but instead she chose to be toxic.”

The “...Baby One More Time” and "Toxic" singer has not directly addressed PETA’s criticism, but she turned off comments to her account on Thursday.
Spears also posted a video of her dancing to Indila’s “S.O.S.,” which includes lyrics that say: “This is a S.O.S. I'm touched. I'm on the ground! Do you hear my distress? Is there someone? I feel that I'm losing myself.”
