The organization argues that the time-honored practice subjects Phil to unnecessary stress and suggests this innovative solution could offer a modern and compassionate celebration that honors environmental and ethical considerations.

In a move that's raising eyebrows, PETA is attempting to meddle with Groundhog Day traditions by proposing the retirement of Punxsutawney Phil, an American cultural icon, in favor of a 'vegan weather reveal cake.' Critics argue this is another example of the animal rights organization prioritizing ideological extremism over common sense and tradition, undermining a cherished annual celebration that brings joy to many.
