PETA Reaches a New Level of Idiocy

IMHO this isn't about Phil, this IS about PETA making more money from a problem that isn't a problem to anyone but those whom they can sucker into believing it is a problem. I wish I had it half as good as Punxsutawney Phil does.
& despite PETA's efforts to the contrary those in charge have assured us that "-- there will not be an animatronic groundhog at the Knob anytime soon :)" Or later for that matter, I suspect.
Meanwhile, I hope Phil will do his best to ensure all of us, except PETA will have an early Spring.

PETA proposes robotic groundhog for Pa. festival
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. – An animal rights group wants organizers of Pennsylvania's Groundhog Day festival to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robotic stand-in.
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.
But William Deeley, president of the Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, says the animal is "being treated better than the average child in Pennsylvania." The groundhog is kept in a climate-controlled environment and is inspected annually by the state Department of Agriculture.
Deeley says PETA isn't interested in Phil from Feb. 2 on, and is looking for publicity.


Here are a few thoughts from 2 guys that have more sense than the whole PETA gang:



Someone ought to do this to the whole PETA gang:

    We subscribe to the "PETA email newsletter" at our house. Yesterday's missive had so many crazy links except for this one; "We're running out of time to save the monkeys" which prompted me to hit the "reply" button with~ we're running out of time to save the babies
    They probably don't have the computer savvy to shut off the reply button which is an advantage to THEIR opposition
