proudly posted a picture this week of the four Pomeranians she controversially gifted her children this past .

The 45-year-old drew the ire of the public when she posted a picture of the tiny pooches sitting on the couch and wrote:

She shares four children with her third ex-husband - two daughters called North, 12, and , eight, and two sons called Saint, 10, and Psalm, six.

Fans took her to task for treating real animals 'like a Tamagotchi' and buying them rather than adopting from a shelter, a move that saw her become the target of a withering statement by the founder of PETA.

However she shrugged off the criticism and this weekend re-posted the exact same photo of the dogs that had set off the controversy at Christmas. 

Some commenters were baffled by the move, leaving remarks like: 'is this rage bait,' while others expressed concern for the welfare of the puppies.

Kim Kardashian re-posted this photo she originally uploaded in December revealing she had gifted each of her four children a Pomeranian for Christmas 

'I hope I see these dogs in 10-15 years with you ugh,' sighed one as another wrote: 'They are not accessories. Please treat them with kindness and respect.'

'Who ever sold her these dogs, are not responsible breeders,' opined another Instagram commenter as still another wrote: 'Adopt don't shop.'

Fans took her to task for treating real animals 'like a Tamagotchi' and buying them rather than adopting from a shelter, a move that drew condemnation from PETA  

Redditors flew into a fury over the present, '

'If they each got a puppy then it’s not special at all. How will they learn to love one pet as siblings when they each get a personal dog like it’s a Tamagotchi?' wrote one.

'They don’t realize what a big responsibility having a pet is, they just have it for show and cause it’s small and cute and it’s something kids want but when the pup grows up they no longer care for it. Absolutely ridiculous,' snapped another.

'Animals and pets are not gifts unless someone has really wanted that pet and will truly look after it. This is f***ed up,' wrote still another.
