PETA is calling on Punxsutawney Phil to retire and be replaced with robot.
They wrote a letter saying “Every February 2, Phil gets dragged out of his hole and held up to flashing lights and crowds in what is a highly stressful experience for him.” They also said the annual event it outdated. “Today’s young people are born into a world of terabytes, and to them, watching a nocturnal rodent being pulled from a fake hole isn’t even worthy of a text message.”
