LA HABRA, Calif.- A prominent U.S. animal rights group says it wants to help California "Octomom" Nadya Suleman with finances by placing an ad on her front lawn.
A spokeswoman for Virginia-based People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said the organization sent a letter to Suleman's lawyer offering to pay for an ad to be placed in front of her La Habra home as a means of helping her avoid foreclosure on the house, the Orange County (Calif.) Register reported Wednesday.
"When you gave birth to octuplets to bring your total number of children to 14, you grabbed headlines and got
the world talking about your controversial decision," the letter reads. "Now will you help turn some of that attention to another important matter -- the dog and cat overpopulation crisis? Unlike humans, dogs and cats cannot decide for themselves how many offspring they will have."
"Taking us up on our offer is a win-win situation: It would help you and your children to keep your home and also reduce the number of homeless dogs and cats," PETA wrote.
Suleman's lawyer, Jeff Czech, said he has been in contact with PETA's legal department and is awaiting an offer.
To be honest, this is a far more reasonable avenue for PETA than most of the terrorist like activities they utilize. I don’t care if she goes for the deal or not...if I never heard about this woman again in my life it’d still be too soon.
Completely agree. This is where PETA is actually useful.
My cats are spayed/neutered and have more common sense than this woman. There ought to be a limit on the number of kids of which one person can collect public assistance $$.
..... and maybe she ought to find another home ..... outside of Orange County - fer cryin’ out loud.
“Not only did you pay for all her hospital bills but NOW any future bills for all her kids until they turn 26
Hey! Where’s your sense of “solidarity”? Don’t you care about your fellow (wo)man? You’re probably just a greedy insurance company CEO or stockholder who wants to earn huge profits at the expense of needy Americans...
Seriously, it’s situations like these that will be a daily reminder to people of how unfair the HCB is. This is why, the fervent wishes of Dems notwithstanding, the issue will NOT die down between now and Election Day. Some people undoubtedly are marking the days on their calendar until they can “get even” for this outrageous abuse of majority power.
Call it a tsunami or earthquake: the only remaining issue is how high on the Richter scale it measures next fall. If the 1994 wipeout of Dems was equivalent to the San Francisco earthquake (magnitude 7.8), I’m hoping 2010 is more like the 1964 Alaskan earthquake (magnitude 9.2)—the 2nd largest in recorded history.
