PETA proposes change to Punxsutawney’s Groundhog Day tradition

(NBC, KYMA/KECY) - A tradition that has been around since the 1800s, Groundhog Day, and celebrated annualy in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania is about to see a possible change.

Once again, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wants to change the tradition by replacing the furry forecaster with a gold coin. Punxsutawney Phil would then live out his golden years in a sanctuary.

Yo peta ! Why don’t y’all go haunt a house or go do something useful,leave people and traditions alone.

It’s not the animals welfare you’re interested in...

Bug off...

PETA probably also supports the massacres by Hamas.

PETA is a publicity hog - they don’t give a damn about one groundhog. Just spell their name right...
