I guess they felt left out in the race for irrelevancy.

I read something about her wanting a belt and purse made from her skin, and wanting to be barbequed after she dies.

Hey PETA, those terrible bikers are still wearing leather jackets… just letting you know.

Sheesh.....I wouldn’t even feed her to working sled dogs in the midst of an Alaskan white out blizzard.

and maybe the groundhog keeps trying to come out of the closet but doesn’t want to be judged.

Well, don’t let the former mayor of NYC, Bill DumblASSio, handle any groundhogs. He DROPPED the poor groundhog one year, it got injured and I think it subsequently died. So long as the groundhog is a long time pet and is treated very well, I don’t see how taking it out gently for a couple of minutes and then putting it back in its cage would cause it harm. Just keep DumblASSio away from it.

First they went after the organ grinder monkeys, and I said nothing because I’m not an organ grinder monkey.

Then they went after the circus elephants, and I said nothing because I’m not a circus elephant.

Then they went after the Budweiser Clydesdales, and I said nothing because I’m not a Budweiser Clydesdale.

Then, they went after me, and there was nobody to protect me.

Is it even a real groundhog? I was under the impression that it wasn’t.

Is it a slow news day in Yuma? Why do they care about Punxsutawny Phil?

Driving off a cliff with the groundhogs could be considered abusive, I suppose.

How can anyone know whether a gold coin sees its shadow?

When I saw the headline I thought they were going to propose that the groundhogs watch to see if *humans* see their shadows.

As an alternative, how about throwing a PETA member off a tall building. If they bounce, it’s like seeing their shadow.
