PETA targets Bayonne with anti-fishing campaign
« on: June 06, 2009, 10:33:59 AM »
Seek lighthouse for anti-fishing education
Friday, June 05, 2009

The animal rights group PETA wants to use the Robbins Reef lighthouse off Bayonne and two others in Michigan to publicize what it says are the horrors of killing fish for food and sport.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says it wants to use the Bayonne setting as the national headquarters for its "Fish Empathy Project."

PETA sent a letter yesterday to the acting director of the National Park Service notifying him of its bid to take over the lighthouse under terms of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act.

Norfolk, Va.-based PETA says its plan calls for educational displays and a cafe serving items such as fake fish sticks.

The two other lighthouses are located along Lake Michigan in Grand Haven, Mich.

These people are just crazy nts nts nts!  These are the same people that have no problem assaulting a human though, committing arson and wreaking havoc on other human species ??? 5hrug!?!?

I say let them have the lighthouse...do they really think fishermen are going to have a big change of heart and join the PETA Campaign.  Don't they have bigger problems to support...??

Yep, Once they have a foothold they just keep pounding their point across.  The next thing you know they have  a green peace thing going on.
