HOLLYWOOD - Paris Hilton has enraged leading animal rights activists by purchasing another pet Chihuahua from the same Beverly Hills store where Britney Spears picked up her new terrier London last week.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the Humane Society joined forces to condemn Spears' pet shop purchase--and now Hilton has followed suit.

The socialite claimed the male Chihuahua from Pets of Bel Air on Wednesday, according to reports.

And it seems the animal activists are fighting a losing battle when it comes to persuading stars not to buy puppies from pet stores--Limp Bizkit star Fred Durst has also recently bought a Chihuahua from the same store as Britney and Paris, who have previously given homes to a Yorkshire terrier and a Chihuahua named Tinkerbell.
