Russell Wilson and Ciara are catching some flak from an unexpected source: animal rights group PETA.
Earlier in the week, the power couple took to social media to welcome the newest addition to their growing family: a little puppy.

While fans were congratulating Russell Wilson and Ciara for their new pup, PETA couldn’t help but slam the couple over their choice.
Specifically, PETA didn’t like that they opted to go through a breeder instead of rescuing.
Per TMZ:
PETA believes it’s clear — the couple’s new dog, Bronco, is a purebred puppy — and likely from a breeder where “mother dogs are often locked inside filthy cages and bred over and over until their bodies give out.”
The animal rescue org also uses some Ciara song references in calling out Russ, telling us the QB made a “One, Two Step mistake by killing a shelter dog’s chances of finding a home.”
They continue, “PETA is calling on the couple to Level Up on kindness by adopting a companion for this pup instead of fueling the homeless-animal crisis.”
Regardless of what PETA thinks, Russell Wilson and Ciara are going to enjoy their new puppy as they enter the next stage of their lives in Denver.
Fittingly, the couple named the dog “Bronco”, being as Russ will hope to build the Broncos into a championship contender immediately.
Hopefully PETA stays off their backs now that they got their point across.
