PETA wants to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a hologram
PETA urges retirement of Punxsutawney Phil due to stress and inadequate living conditions, offering a 3-D hologram to maintain Groundhog Day tradition.
- This year People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals offered a massive 3-D groundhog projection with vocal weather predictions to light Gobbler's Knob if Punxsutawney Groundhog Club President Tom Dunkel retires Punxsutawney Phil and his family to a sanctuary.
- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has long argued that Punxsutawney Phil’s enclosure is too small for natural behaviors, urging the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club to retire him due to exploitation concerns.
- With more than 10.4 million supporters, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals highlighted past alternatives like the vegan Weather Reveal cake last year and a 50-50 gold coin for 2024.
- No response has been reported, and the festival draws thousands; it is unclear if the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club has replied to Tom Dunkel's letter.
- On February 2 Groundhog Day ceremonies center on whether Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, signaling six more weeks of winter, while this year's high-tech hologram raises the stakes.
