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.
