A More Ethical Groundhog Day

In another sign of the apocalypse, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wants to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robotic stand-in.  As reported in CNS News, "PETA 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".  For those who have seen the movie 'Groundhog Day', it does seem like this complete lack of common sense from PETA  just goes on and on.  What's next, a robotic duck for the AFLAC commercials?
