PETA Wants ‘Silence of the Lambs’ House to Be a Museum

An animal rights group wants to convert the western Pennsylvania house used in the film ``The Silence of the Lambs'' into an empathy museum.

Visitors would wear the skins of slain and abused animals. PETA says it has written to the real estate agent handling the sale and wants to create a museum.

PETA says by wearing animal skins, people would be reminded that animals also are ``made of flesh, blood and bone.''

The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says in a release that it has written to the real estate agent handling the sale and wants to create a museum. The building was home to psychotic killer Buffalo Bill in the 1991 film.
