(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.

Has PETA asked the ground hog how he feels? He might actually enjoy being a celebrity.
Kill the groundhog and read its entrails while chanting witch chants?
Why is PETA trying to get Phil fired? How’s Phil supposed to feed his family?
I propose PETA go F off
Yeah! Bury the PETA president in the ground and then check if he comes up for air. If the doesn’t on GHD, then 6 more weeks of winter.
Someone will then complain that a gold coin is the symbol of capitalism or perhaps empirical expansion. PETA can be heartless.
PETA can take a flying leap.
Varmint Holiday based on superstition
How does that work? Does a gold coin cast a shadow? Does a gold coin get contributed to PETA, and groundhog day converted into a PETA fundraiser?
PETA , People Eating Tasty Animals
People Eating Tasty Animals
This has Babylon Bee potential.
Lessee..Bidet declares Ground Hog Day racist...because the Ground Hog uses the western calendar....
Or University scholars declare Ground Hog to be LGBT....
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators stop traffic in Punxsutawney while screaming “Drown the Ground Hog in the Sea”
etc etc etc....
Ingrid Newkirk is still PETA’s prez.
Okay....change my comment to “bury they/them” or whatever its personal pronouns might be.. :0)
The left continually trying to eliminate any traditional American holidays and culture.
They want ALL ties between us and our past broken and completely eradicated.
Worst movie ever.
