It’s no secret that Cavallari is quite the animal lover. Besides her chickens, the reality star and her husband also own a dog, two goats, and even a llama.

The llama was arecent surprisefor Cutler, 35, which Cavallari welcomed to their Nashville home during a preview for season 2 ofVery Cavallariwithout telling NFL alum about beforehand.

Towards the end of October, Cavallari openly expressed her desire to own the large, furry animal. “I need one,” she captioned aphoto of herselfstanding beside a llama.

As for the couple’s goats, Cavallari shared a photo in June of herself kissing the family’s “newest babe” — her black goat, Pepper. They also own a white goat named Salt, which the reality starshowed off in a photoin July.

But her love for animals hasn’t always been taken in a positive manner.

Back in May, the starposted a photo of herselfholding a young chicken in her arms while she smiled at the camera. The caption that accompanied the image read: “Pet today, dinner tomorrow. Kidding. Kind of.”

While some of Cavallari’s followers applauded her choice to raise her own food, many other commenters wereangry with the playful toneof the post.

“Animals belong in our hearts, not our stomachs. Bet that chicken has a family too. Why can’t we think of them as someone, not something. You don’t need meat to survive folks,” read one comment.
