Should we cancel Groundhog Day? How about a weather reveal cake instead
Briefly

PETA is advocating to end Groundhog Day, insisting that Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog, should be retired to a sanctuary. They propose instead a "Weather Reveal" Cake that would signal the weather forecast through color—blue for winter and pink for spring. PETA argues that this change would respect Phil's well-being and avoid the stressful spectacle groundhogs face during the celebrations. They emphasize that groundhogs, being shy creatures, would prefer to avoid human interaction, suggesting the current tradition is harmful to them.
So what's a groundhog to do every February 2? PETA recommends that Punxsutawney Phil and his family should "retire to a reputable sanctuary" instead of taking part in the annual tradition.
Groundhogs are shy prey animals who, when allowed, actively avoid humans. You've seen the scene at Gobler's Knob, where Phil is front and center on stage, and people are screaming.
