PETA calls to end Groundhog Day tradition, replace Punxsutawney Phil with 'vegan weather reveal cake'
Fox News ^ | 1/27/25 | Andrea Margolis

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is calling to ax a beloved American tradition – and to replace it with what it calls a "delicious" vegan substitution.

The animal rights nonprofit organization is seeking to replace the Groundhog Day tradition with a vegan "weather reveal" cake. PETA announced the proposal in a news release on Jan. 20.

"PETA will deliver a delicious ‘Weather Reveal’ vegan cake each Groundhog Day in perpetuity if [the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club] agrees to let Punxsutawney Phil and his family retire to a reputable sanctuary, a move that will earn the outfit kudos from wildlife fans," the press release stated.

PETA also published pun-filled letter to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, arguing that the groundhog's annual duties were "no piece of cake" for him.

"Groundhogs are shy prey animals who, when allowed, actively avoid humans," the letter detailed. "Yet, year after year, Phil is transported to Gobler’s Knob, whisked on stage, and subjected to a noisy announcer, screaming crowds, and flashing lights against all his natural instincts."

Self-righteous goons who love misery and hate joie de vivre (the joy of life).

Phil gets the utmost pampering. He’s even fed bananas!

The left are only happy when they are making everyone but themselves miserable. If someone somewhere is having a good time, you can bet that there is some liberal nearby seething with rage

The way to solve the PETA perceived problems is to eradicate PETA.

A PETA less America will be a much better place to live and prosper

Vegan weather reveal cakes can’t see their shadow, they have no eyes (unless of course they are made with potatoes).

“How can a cake predict how long the winter will last?”

.

Ummm….
HOW, exactly, does Phil do it?

Yes, yes, you cannot say because of State Secrets and
National Security and HIPPA laws, and the 5th Amendment, etc…

Do these people ever have fun of any kind? I’m guessing sticking their nose in other people’s business and making everyone around them miserable is fun for them.

Remember years ago when PETA run their holocaust on a plate campaign. They were comparing eating meat with the Nazi Holocaust. These people are imbeciles.

Just as anecdotal evidence, I know a number of people who have many pets, love animals, who also hate that PETA organization. PETA are the lunatic fringe of animal lovers.
