The Stepford Hogs: PETA Want's to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robotic stand-in. - Polidicks

Source: Fox News: [quote] [B]PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — An animal rights group wants organizers of Pennsylvania's Groundhog Day festival to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robotic stand-in.[/B] According to the longtime tradition, if Phil the groundhog sees his shadow on the Feb. 2 unofficial holiday, then there will be six more weeks of winter. If he does not appear to see his shadow, there will be an early spring. 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 year 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.[/quote] PETA strikes again, aiming to make your Groundhog's day experience a bit more like a trip to Chucky Cheese's.

Wasn't the animal born in captivity? If it was, releasing it would be retarded. And that groundhog lives in the lap of fuckin' luxury man.

They shouldn't let him hog the spotlight like that on the grounds of animal rights.

Why can't the government just shut PETA down? Isn't it fair to say that PETA can be labeled a criminal organization of Eco-terrorists?

[B]Breaking news:[/B] PETA constructs giant robot groundhog; predicts six more weeks of doom.

Fuck off PETA, groundhog day is one the most fucking awesome things about living in Pennsylvania.

Why would they complain? That groundhog is probably the best treated one in the world.

Punxsutawney Phil wouldn't survive in the wilderness.

Fuck off PETA. Phil is taken well care of. Replacing it with a robot is just a disgrace. We might as well just use a stuffed animal.

fuck peta etc. [editline]yeah[/editline] [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/groundhog_day.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Daolpu;19904128]fuck peta etc. [editline]yeah[/editline] [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/groundhog_day.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Just what I was thinking. Guess they don't want to risk a disgruntled Bill Murray to drive him off a cliff.

The more you feed the troll that is PETA by giving them publicity, the more they'll do stupid shit like this.

How the hell does a robotic groundhog see its shadow?

They're trying to build a weather control device!

[QUOTE=Sigma-Lambda;19905697]They're trying to build a weather control device![/QUOTE] Would make more sense than that "earthquake machine" that everyone was speculating about in the Haiti thread.

They've finally done it. They've gone insane for the last time. They used to be [I]ground[/I]ed but now they're just trying to [I]hog[/I] the spotlight. [editline]11:31AM[/editline] :v:

They think living in the lap of luxury, then having to be outside with a couple flashing bulbs is torture?

[QUOTE]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[/QUOTE] I think it would be more unfair to toss an animal with no knowledge of survival into the wilderness.

How long must we stand-by and watch as these fools bring chaos to our lands? How long must we endure their torture, and do nothing? When can we rise? When can we fight back, the evil, that is PETA!?! They must not take anymore from us.
