Groundhog Day has always been a special day in my family. Each year we eagerly await Punxy Phil’s winter weather prediction, believing his prediction to be more accurate than the Farmer’s Almanac.
This year it has come to my attention that the PETA animal rights activists are advocating that Punxy Phil be replaced with a robotic groundhog, stating that Groundhog Day is too stressful for Phil. Nonsense, I say.
Two years ago I had the good fortune of meeting Phil up close and personal. Whether it’s due to his celebrity status or just plain good looks, I can emphatically state that Phil is one pampered animal. He's extremely comfortable, if not curious about his fans. His handlers are very protective of him and give him better care than he’d get if he lived in the woods.
PETA, let Phil have his day!! Let him bask in glory at Gobbler’s Knob. You can’t replace the real thing with a fake. Who knows what kind of global warming a robotic groundhog would cause.
