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.

Michael Jackson Dies In Los Angeles At Age 50

When Elvis Presley passed, they said the King was dead.

Now sadly, the King of Pop has passed as well.

Michael Jackson has died of an apparent cardiac arrest, according to TMZ.com.

“Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back. A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.”

All of us are wondering, what happened?

The man was only 50 years young and had just been examined by doctors before starting his This Is It tour.

His promotion company, AEG, was even considering insuring him themselves, saying “The insurance brokers sent doctors and they spend five hours with him, taking blood tests. He’s a vegetarian, he’s in great shape.”

Words cannot express the lost the world has experienced, but some celebrities have Tweeted their thoughts, like Shanna Moakler:

“The hard thing about getting older is watching all those who inspired you pass, love to the jackson family…”

She couldn’t have summed it up better.

Our thoughts go out to family, friends, and fans. May he rest in peace.
