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.

What Next? PETA Proposes Robot Groundhog | The Foundry














How absurd! :roflmao:

What a sad day when organizations have nothing better to do with donated and grant money. Better take Bill Murrays movie of Ground hog Day off the shelves too. All this politically correctness and such is getting a little out of hand. IMO. Fabe
