Leicester City striker mentioned wanting a penguin or a giraffe as a pet. The former England international has also revealed he found out how to buy a giraffe. However, his comments have brought a warning from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), who reminded the 35-year-old of how the sale of exotic pets can harm the animals.
Vardy and his wife Rebekah already have a number of pet dogs, including a guard dog bought in 2018. The couple also keep chickens, and have previously been forced to take measures to keep foxes away from their property. "It sounds strange but I looked up trying to buy a penguin to have in the garden," Vardy said, as reported by The Sun.
“I’ve not purchased one. However, I found out how to buy a giraffe and all sorts of animals. ” However, the charity's response was to remind Vardy he “surely knows they are not playthings or garden ornaments”.
The sale of exotic animals is one of the world’s largest sources of criminal earnings. It’s the animals paying the price," PETA's Elisa Allen said.
