Octuplets mother Nadya Suleman, whose financial troubles have been well-documented, has accepted an offer from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals: $5,000 and a month&#8217;s supply of vegan hot dogs and hamburger patties for her family of 15 in exchange for allowing the animal-rights group to place an ad on her lawn.<\/p>\n<p>The ad &#8212; which, in light of Suleman&#8217;s status as a paparazzi magnet, is likely to attract a lot of eyeballs &#8212; makes light of the mother of 14&#8217;s &quot;Octomom&quot; nickname. &quot;Don&#8217;t let your dog or cat become an &#8216;octomom&#8217;,&quot; it reads, &quot;Always spay or neuter. PETA.&quot; Pictured beside the text is a mother cat nursing a litter of young kittens.<\/p>\n<p>Suleman&#8217;s La Habra home was purchased by means of a deal in which<br \/>\nowner Amer Haddadin agreed to carry the $450,000 loan for a year until her father<br \/>\ncould gather the money for a down payment, <a href=\"http:\/\/latimesblogs.latimes.com\/lanow\/2010\/03\/octuplets-mother-gets-cash-in-exchange-for-placing-peta-sign-on-front-lawn-of-la-habra-home.html\">according to our sister blog L.A. Now<\/a>. But Haddadin <a href=\"http:\/\/latimesblogs.latimes.com\/lanow\/2010\/03\/octuplets-mother-were-not-losing-our-house.html\">says that the family has fallen behind<\/a> in their payments and that evicting Suleman and her children is a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>PETA&#8217;s Michelle Cho <a href=\"http:\/\/latimesblogs.latimes.com\/gossip\/2010\/03\/octomom-nadya-suleman-peta-spay-neuter.html\">wrote to Suleman to propose the advertising deal<\/a>, noting in her letter that &quot;[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.&quot;\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of reports about Suleman&#8217;s recent financial trouble, she also received another unorthodox offer: Vivid Entertainment, an adult-film production company, offered to pay off her mortgage in exchange for appearing in a porn movie. <\/p>\n<p>Although Vivid&#8217;s co-chairman, Steven Hirsch, made assurances that the company would allow Suleman to provide input on the script and co-stars and that the movie would be as tastefully done as possible, it appears she&#8217;s rejected the offer. Her lawyer, Jeff Czech, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/hostednews\/ap\/article\/ALeqM5hJDP0gW9Q0mq7QwCipqqFlSHMs5gD9ELMOSO0\">e-mailed the Associated Press<\/a> regarding Suleman&#8217;s decision: &quot;No porn.
