OROVILLE, CA - It's the last thing Karen Metcalf thought she would hear.

The Oroville woman learned about an ad in the August issue of Dog Fancy magazine, offering a free welcome home gift to new dog owners.

Metcalf, proud mother to four dogs, including her new puppy, called the number and was shocked to hear the recording.

The message said, "To receive a free body bag representing the dog that was killed in an animal shelter when you bought your puppy, please leave your address after the tone."

The ad, listed under the name ABC Puppy Products, was a fake, placed by PETA to get its message into the mainstream.

It's a message PETA admits is edgy, but one they claim was needed.
