PETA wants to attain rights to the
Grand Haven lighthouse and create a "Fish Empathy" education center and a "fake fish" food shop.
For years, lighthouses have helped protect those at sea, so it seems appropriate that they would be used to protect sea life, too," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said.
In the letter, PETA Director Sarah King spells out plans to install educational displays and a 300-square-foot "fish empathy quilt." The group also wants to open a cafe at the lighthouse, which would serve faux fish sticks and other vegetarian food.
"The more that people learn about how intelligent and sensitive fish are, the less likely they'll be to stick a fork or a hook in them," Reiman said.
Want to read their crazy proposal?
Check this crazy shit out. Now, there are about a BAZILLION good examples of why these people should be removed from the gene pool themselves, but... seriously? What's bringing these people out of the woodwork and into West Michigan?
The sad part is that even though the lighthouse is one of Grand Haven's signature landmarks, the article seems to suggest that nobody from Grand Haven really can give a final say with what happens to it in this regard.
FUCK YOU, PETA. Get the fuck away from our pier.. get out of our goddamned city! You give a bad name to sane people who wish to treat animals ethically... Fucking extremists. *grr*
