Quantcast Vegetarian StarElvis Presley “Circle G Ranch” “Don’t Be Cruel” PETA

Jailhouse Rock

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is asking the current property owner of Elvis Presley‘s old Circle G Ranch in Horn Lake, Dennis McLemore, to lease the site to them in order to use it as a Don’t Be Cruel Education Center For Children.

“This would be a good way to let kids know the truth about how cows are suffering before they’re turned into burgers or blue suede shoes,” said PETA spokesman Ashley Byrne.

The property went up for sale a month ago and the asking price is $6.5 million, according to real estate agent Rodger Motz.

In a letter to McLemore, PETA said, “in honor of the King and cows, PETA would like to turn the ranch into a ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ center to educate students about how smart and sensitive the animals we eat really are, and why a vegan diet (no meat, no eggs and no dairy) is kindest for animals, the Earth and even our own arteries. Elvis would have benefited from going vegan, that’s for sure.”

Motz said McLemore is “not interested in leasing it to those people,” referring to PETA.

McLemore currently keeps cattle on the land, but is looking to turn it into resort property or residential development.
