Serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer's childhood home in Ohio is up for sale, and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are suggesting that the house be turned into a vegan destination.

According to Yahoo News, the three-bedroom, three-bath home in Bath Township is where Dahmer's killed the first of his 17 victims. The house was put on the market for $295,000 and now the animal-rights group is hoping to renovate the site into a vegan restaurant.

"We're always looking for ways to turn cruelty on its ugly head, so when we heard that serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's childhood home had been put up for sale, we saw an opportunity to create good out of evil," PETA posted on its website. "Rather than remaining as a stark reminder of its dark past, the building can instead become the site of a celebration of culinary compassion."

Dahmer is also known for killing and dismembering his victims and being fascinated by dead animals as a youth. During the 1978 killing, Dahmer dismembered Steven Hicks, a 19-year-old hitchhiker, in the house and scattered his remains around the property.

"Like Dahmer's human victims, cows, pigs, and chickens are made of flesh and blood and fear for their lives when confronted by a man with a knife," PETA wrote. "They are also drugged and dragged, and their limbs are bound. Their struggles and screams are ignored as they are killed and cut up to be consumed. Their bones are thrown away like garbage."

Realtor Rich Lubinski told The Associated Press that the house was unable to sell two years prior due to a depressed market.  PETA believes that the family home needs to create a different memory - partially one that reveres animals. The name proposed for the unconfirmed restaurant is "Eat for Life -Home Cooking."

"What Jeffrey Dahmer did shocked everyone, and the violence inherent in putting meat on the table today should also shock all but the most hard-hearted person," Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President said in a press release.

Newkirk wrote a letter to Lubinski stating that "Dahmer's old house gives us a way to evoke sympathy for these victims and to suggest that a life-affirming diet can change everything."

What do you think of PETA's proposal?
