Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro hit back at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) on Friday, after the activist group sent a letter to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club promising to send them a vegan "weather reveal cake" if they agreed to stop pulling Punxsutawney Phil out of his burrow for his Feb. 2 prognostication.
"Come and take it," Shapiro tweeted in response to a New York Post story on PETA's demand.
Manuel Bonder, a spokesman for Shapiro, told Fox News Digital the governor stands by his comments and said he will again make the trip to Gobbler's Knob in Jefferson County on Sunday to witness Phil's 138th meteorological prediction.
Shapiro has been on-hand for every Groundhog Day ceremony in Punxsutawney since taking office in 2023.

The idiots don’t seem to realize that ‘Phil’ is a domesticated rodent - a PET. He probably lives a life of pampered luxury.
I doubt anyone is ‘pulling him out’ of anything he wants to stay in.
It’s a fun, wholesome event that normal people enjoy.
Exactly. In the grand scheme of things Groundhog Day is about as inconsequential as can be. It will however be made much bigger by the dims showing his “rationality”.

The slick napoleon wannabe needs to be removed next election. I don’t have much faith in Pennsylvania voters to understand how much of a sleaze and con artist he is.
Shapiro has little use for defending “rights”, except when it comes to “groundhog rights” which, when violated, causes him to become “outraged” and even “tough”. I’m waiting to see where the ACLU weighs in on this matter of national importance.
He’s running in 2028.
I’m posting a “ The Groundhog says, 4 more years of Trump meme tommorrow.😁
Don’t drive angry!
It’s a Dem set-up so Shapiro can seem “moderate” to ignorant voters.
Clintonesque “Sistah Souljah” moment.
Mole ‘n lobby!
😂
You got it backwards Sparky. Christian holidays have been superimposed over ancient Pagan holidays.
Happy Halloween 🎃 Happy Easter 🐰 Merry Christmas etc. in advance.😂
Read some real history, son.
That is real history.
You may want to expand your knowledge beyond one book Sparky.
Gods and goddesses existed long before yours.
Deal with it.

Are you familiar with the Ellen Greenberg case?
Peta needs to go after Bill Deblasio for dropping NY’s groundhog.
Yeah, our Diminutive Bolshevik Governor is soooo tough…
