I would absolutely welcome PETA into our neighborhood – I am not a vegatarian/ vegan, but I think we can all stand against cruelty to animals. Moreover, I lived in Norfolk previously – where PETA has their HQ, and I can assure you PETA was an excellent neighbor to that community.

PETA responded today to a query I made Monday. Here is part of PETA’s response:
PETA is indeed interested in this wonderful historic property, with its beautiful grounds and the Quaker history which embraces peace and vegetarian living. The purchase price is not the only cost involved, as the interior of the building, the roof, and so on has fallen into great disrepair. The property must be restored and made safe – something that will probably require an investment at least as great as the purchase price itself.

This is disappointing news. I greatly had hoped they’d be able to make the deadline. I don’t see PETA being as good for the neighborhood.
