An animal rights group wants to use a New Jersey lighthouse 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 said it wants to use the Robbins Reef Lighthouse in Bayonne as the national headquarters for its "Fish Empathy Project."
PETA sent a letter today 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.
