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.

Good Charlotte musician Benji Madden and Paris Hilton are an item and are officially telling the world about it. Yes, we know you care so much.

They were spotted at the premiere for Hilton’s new movie Repo! The Genetic Opera at Planet Hollywood where they then went to an after party and feasted on vegetarian spring rolls, pork pot stickers, and mini cheeseburger sliders.

Well, it’s assumed that Benji feasted on the spring rolls, since he has publicly claimed to be vegetarian. Paris did her part to stomp her carbon footprint into the earth and offset Benji’s spring rolls by downing the pork and beef.

Peta has said that they want vegetarians to date meat eaters as it gives the opportunity to educate and (they’re hoping) convert.

It worked for Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell.

To twist a famous Elvis song, how ’bout a “little more conversation and a little less action?” Trade one lip locking night with a night of education about the benefits of reducing meat.

It might also be a good idea to tell her to stop collecting so many puppies.
