PETA Senior Director of Cruelty Casework Stephanie Bell exclusively told The Sun in a statement: "Subjecting dogs to the stress of being dyed—which is also potentially toxic—and restricting their opportunities to eat, drink, and even breathe by tying a ribbon around their mouth are cruel acts that can have fatal consequences, and they show a profound lack of empathy.

"PETA urges Farrah Abraham to start treating dogs like more than fashion accessories or surrender them to someone who will love them unconditionally."

But Farrah fired back, claiming she was following "guidelines of the law."

She exclusively told The Sun: "Haters made up a ‘ribbon’ is on my pets, which is false. We use a muzzle per a trainer’s review for her training, which are sold at all pet stores."

She continued that her family has been receiving "death threats" over the video, and that the "harassment" is "unnecessary and awful."

Farrah added: "Sophia treats [the dogs] as sister and brother... like royalty. We do have emotional support animals and they must be trained to the guidelines of the law."

The controversy comes after Farrah’s daughter Sophia, 11, was accused of killing their Pomeranian Blue in July 2018.

She explained over Instagram Live at the time, with her and Sophia crying over the deceased pooch, that her daughter found him not moving.

Farrah explained: “I’m in disbelief and she hands me my half limp Blue - thinking low sugar, we grab syrup and water, his eyes looking at me as if he’s talking, but his tongue can’t move and his body can’t, but I see in his eyes he loves seeing his water and food.

“I feel his heart beating and we’re giving him love, but as his body goes limper we call the Emergency vet and rush to the Emergency hospital and no heartbeat found was found.”

Sophia then explained on her Musical.ly account, "I was getting Blue to go outside and my only choice was to toss him outside.

“And then I did, but then he went into shock and 30 seconds later he passed with no heartbeat."

While fans accused Sophia of harming the pooch, Farrah denied the allegations and claimed the death was over “stress” from “construction” in their building.

Farrah was fired from TMOG over her participation in X-rated webcams and her harsh treatment of production.

Farrah has not responded to The Sun's request for comment.
