Peta offers a “Revelation of the weather” cake instead of La Marmotte Punxsutawney Phil on Marmot day This year.
The organizationKnown for his animal plea, believes that Phil is exploited the annual winter holidays. In response, they sent a letter to Punxsutawney Groundhog ClubAsking them to let Phil withdraw before the celebration of this year on February 2.

If it is pink, there will be a beginning of spring,” she added. “This would allow you to make tourist dough while showing Phil a slice of decency. It would be the least as precise as to ask a marmot to what to expect in a way that does not even reflect its nature.”
She reiterated that they “believe” that the marmot day is not a piece of cake for Phil.
