As if Jon Gosselin did not already have enough allegations thrown at him, he has also recently been accused of animal cruelty. He made a comment talking about how his children interact with their family dogs saying "Those kids beat them up, climb on them, pull their tails, bite at them, drag them around and everything you can imagine not to do to an animal, they've done." This caused quite a stir among animal activists and the Berks County, PA Humane Society began to receive complaints.
All of this fuss prompted Gosselin to release a statement. "I'd like to set the record straight," he said. "We understand the responsibilities of being good dog owners. Whenever my kids are with Shoka and Nala, everyone is carefully supervised to ensure that no one – dog or child – is injured. Shoka and Nala are loyal companions who we consider members of our family. We would never do anything to hurt them, and treat them with the respect and love that they deserve." An executive director at the Berks County Humane Society also said that the Gosselin's dogs are registered and up to date on all vaccinations.
There you have it, Jon Gosselin does not abuse animals. The poor guy just can't seem to catch a break lately.
