PETA… What is your problem??
January 29, 2010
PETA is up to its ridiculous antics again. With Groundhog’s Day approaching, they insist on bringing Punxsutawney Phil, America’s beloved groundhog, into it.
What has got their panties in a bunch this time? -You may ask. Well, they think an animatronic model of Phil should be used as his robotic stand in. Oh PETA…
“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.” (http://mddailyrecord.com/2010/01/27/peta-wants-a-robot-punxsutawney-phil-for-groundhog-day/)
I love their use of words like “reveler.”
Too bad for PETA, but something is telling me its just not going to happen.
So, for those of you that are interested in what the critter cutie will be predicting for this Spring’s weather, you can text “groundhog” to 247365 by February 2nd and find out if the little guy sees his shadow or not. My fingers are crossed for Spring!
