PETA WATCH

Controversial vegan lobby People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is seeking to lease a former Elvis Presley property in Mississippi and turn it into an animal-rights museum promoting veganism to children.

The 'Don't be cruel' museum would feature the group's notorious propaganda in the form of 'educational displays about farm animals' and include a cafe offering vegan food.

"...[the facility] will educate students about how smart and sensitive the animals we eat really are and why a vegan diet ... is kindest for animals, the Earth, and even our own arteries," claimed PETA mouthpiece Tracy Reiman:

But in a blow to the move real estate agent Rodger Motz said the current owner of the property Dennis McLemore was unmoved by PETA's proposal.

McLemore is "not interested in leasing it to those people [PETA]," Motz told the Commercial Appeal.
