Default Could this be real????

I checked snopes but didn't find anything - the following is a forward from
someone from some list somewhere - could it be true??/?



I just finished reading our local kennel club's newsletter and
want to share
the latest PETA information it included.

An ad in the July 7th issue of Dog Fancy magazine read "Just bought a
brand-new purebred puppy? Welcome him or her into your home with
a free
gift bag! Call us today at 1-866-834-6061 to claim your bag and
hear about
our products."

When respondents call the number they learn the ad was placed by
PETA and
that the bag offered is really a body bag - for the unlucky dog in
an animal
shelter who is "sentenced to death" because the respondent bought
a purebred
pup from a breeder or pet store.

Dog Fancy was contacted and their response was: "Dog Fancy does not
knowingly accept advertising from PETA and does not agree with its
extremist
views. Unfortunately PETA resorted to guerilla tactics by placing
an ad in
Dog Fancy under a pseudonym to deceive readers with a free gift
bag offer,
opting to use shock tactics to try to get its message heard."
