Paris Hilton Needs A Pooper Scooper
Or more likely a shovel, considering how deep in the doodoo she’s gotten this time.
It seems that she announced to a shocked Ellen DeGeneres that she has seventeen–yes seventeen–dogs. Here’s a snippet:
Ellen: Seventeen? Why do you have so many dogs?
Paris: Cuz they keep having babies, and I feel bad to give them away, because I feel like if I had a baby and someone gave it away it would be mean, so I feel bad for my dogs.
Ellen:Â Paris, you have to spay and neuter your pets.
Paris:Â They all just got fixed.
Ellen:Â All of ‘em?
Paris:Â (pause) (unconvincingly) Yes.
Ellen: No. You’re lying again!
Paris:Â Two–two of them weren’t.
Â
Paris also got in trouble recently because she supposedly abandoned a cat at a vet’s office. She adopted the kitty before she went in the pokey, and was supposed to get it fixed immediately. Apparently, to Paris, “immediately” translates to “whenever I get around to it,” because she just “got around to it” in January:
TMZ has learned that Miss P adopted the puddy tat — which she named Prada — at the Kris Kelly Foundation last May, about a week before she headed to Lynwood Jail. After Paris was released, we’re told she knew she had to have Prada neutered, but didn’t get around to it until a few weeks ago, on January 30.
But here’s the problem — nobody came back for Prada! About a week later, Kris Kelly herself called Paris to find out what happened, but she still hasn’t heard back as to what to do with Paris’ pussy.
Paris’ people say this is nothing to meow about. The cat was to be dropped off to be neutered and then delivered to one of Paris’ peeps. That apparently hasn’t happened yet. But Kris tells us that it’s “a clear-cut case of abandonment” (no pun intended, we think) and has decided not to return the cat.
I’m so mad about this. Paris has demonstrated yet again that she is incapable of caring for anything and anyone other than herself. What the crap is this about how if she had a baby she’d feel bad if someone took it from her, and so that’s why she justified keeping the babies produced by her animals?
First of all, God forbid this woman should reproduce a live human being. And second, it isn’t cruel to give away baby animals once a sufficient time frame has passed. Animals know that there is a time when baby animals no longer need their mothers, and they actively work to get that baby animal out of the “nest” and out into the world. I’ve seen it happen with cats, dogs, birds…after a while, it’s perfectly okay. It’s what is supposed to happen. It’s natural. How does Paris think she got her original animals, if they weren’t separated from their mother?
And it’s “mean” to take the puppy away from its mother after a while? How cruel is it to just let animals breed and produce litters without doing something to control the animal population?  While some registered breeders do practice selective inbreeding to either promote or weed out certain desirable or undesirable animal traits and issues, I doubt very seriously if Paris is versed in any sort of animal breeding procedure (other than the human to human one). Animals which are left to breed over and over have serious problems, the least of which is a shortened life span and a reduced quality of life.
But this is the least of Paris’ problems. It seems that by having so many animals, she’s violating a city ordinance which prohibits non-breeders from having more than three animals on a premises. It seems that animal control showed up on her doorstep on Tuesday, only to find out that Paris is having major reno work done and nobody is home. She’s apparently boarded out many of the animals to animal handlers while the work is in progress.
And let’s not forget that Paris also has other animals besides the dogs…she’s also got cats (at least one of which is a dwarf cat, highly controversial to own). I know she had a kinkajou at one time, but I believe it now has a new home (which I’m sure the poor thing is very happy about). Here’s a tidbit I found from an interview she did in 2004:
Yeah, I’m a big animal lover. Tinkerbell is my life. She comes with me everywhere. I also have a ferret named Dolce & Gabbana. Ferrets are illegal [in New York], but whatever. I just bought a bobcat yesterday. She’s a little girl. I have rats, snakes, and a bunch of other animals, too, like cats and an iguana.
And here’s one from September 2007:
Paris says, “My animals make me really happy.†When speaking about how many animals she has, the socialite says, “eleven dogs, three cats, three ferrets, two rabbits, and two monkeys.†Many of these animals are allowed to run free around her home according to Hilton.
She tells Elle that the monkeys and ferrets are kept at her ranch but, “the dogs and cats and bunnies run around my house. I have this guy, Eric, who’s like a zookeeper, and he’s with them all the time. He loves them, and I love them, too. But since I work a lot I’m not always home.â€
In addition to the well known Chihuahuas, Tinkerbell and Bambi, Hilton owns a Rottweiler named Tyson and eight other dogs. In 2005, Hilton got in some trouble with animal authorities.
The first incident involved Hilton purchasing a kinkajou. The animal, Baby Luv had to be given up because it was illegal to be owned as a pet. The second instance involved Hilton attempting to own a baby kangaroo as a pet, which she purchased in Australia. She has also won numerous awards for being the worst pet owner on the planet.
By owning so many animals and ascribing “human” attributes and emotions to them (”I feel like if I had a baby and someone gave it away it would be mean, so I feel bad for my dogs”), and by believing that she’s doing something noble by keeping them around her, and by proclaiming she’s such an “animal lover” when she is really doing more harm than good, she’s showing definite signs of animal hoarding behavior. The dogs being well-fed and clean isn’t the point. Simply keeping the dogs around and not attempting to control their population because it would be “mean” is one big red flag. But she can get away with it because, look, she’s Paris Hilton!
There is help, but she has to want it. Animal hoarding behavior is difficult to treat because the person so often does not believe they have a problem. After all, they are helping animals, right? How can that be so wrong?
I first saw this on Defamer, but it made me so mad that I couldn’t write about it until now. So many responsible animal lovers in the world, and somebody like Paris, who has the IQ of a chew toy and the personality of a stump, feels that she can do anything she likes just because she’s “Paris Hilton”.
Spay and neuter your pets!

If anyone is interested in learning more about dwarf cats (we discussed this some tonight on BTR Today), you can find an informative link here, and a photo here.
Paris’ week has kind of sucked, hasn’t it?

bahaha — Paris Hilton, cat lady.
She collects animals like Brangelina collect small humans. Girlfriend definitely needs help, either that or she needs to open a pet store.
It sounds like 26 year-old Ms. Hilton has no clear idea of what responsibility is. But then, I’d expect no less from her.
