PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. - An animal rights group wants organizers of Pennsylvania's Groundhog Day festival to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robotic stand-in.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says it's unfair to keep the animal in captivity and subject him to the huge crowds and bright lights that accompany tens of thousands of revelers each Feb. 2 in Punxsutawney, a tiny borough about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. PETA is suggesting the use of an animatronic model instead.
Remember the good ole days When Bill Murray could pull that ground hog out of its hole 48 times, or when Chevy Chase hit a ground hog on the head that was tearing up his gold course. PETA needs to relax and stop ruining the good things in the world. I can't even buy a steak without some PETA protester giving me an armful. The only thing Ive ever liked about them at all is there no fur ads. Not due to the fact i'm against wearing fur but due to the fact the motto is i'd rather be naked then wear fur. And hey more naked women the merry.
ALSO is this going to be the last year I can bet if Phil sees his Shadow?! Because god knows if he goes electronic he's going to be lit like a friggen x-mas tree seeing his shadow yearly.
