Joel, an online fitness coach and owner of a dog breeding company announced on Instagram that they are rehoming their French Bulldog London, prompting discussions about pet ownership responsibilities of influencers.
Rehoming London
Despite initially planning to breed London, the couple’s changing circumstances led to their decision to find her a new home.
This announcement raised eyebrows, especially given the couple’s active social media presence, which showcases a seemingly luxurious lifestyle. However, it also comes after Christie’s bankruptcy filing, raising questions about the couple’s financial stability and ethical responsibilities as influencers.
Shortly after Joel’s post about rehoming London, Christie shared photos on Instagram showing her socialising with friends and organising her kitchen cupboards, among other leisure activities.
Responsible pet ownership
Some critics argued that the situation highlights a worrying trend among influencers of prioritising lifestyle over the well-being of their pets. It ignited a broader conversation about influencer accountability, with many questioning the sincerity of their commitment to pet ownership.
As Christie continues to share her activities on social media without mentioning London, public scrutiny intensifies, highlighting concerns about the treatment of animals in the influencer sphere.
