Comment: stupid, stupid, stupid
Comment: I am from Punxsutawney originally. There is absolutely no mistreating of the groundhog. In fact he has a pretty high standard of living. A robotic groundhog would ruin the whole celebration, which is based on tradition. from Lewis Center, Ohio by Pat
Comment: That is the most insane thing I have heard in a long time! A robot, seriously! from Columbus, Ohio by Trevor
Comment: Phil enjoys his once a year coming out party. A robot would not be the same. He is more then likly the most pampered groundhog ever. from Bellville, Ohio by Angel
Comment: Let the real animals do what they have done for years. He isn't being harmed and is treated very well. Get over it people. from Mt Gilead, Ohio by M
Comment: That is absurd! from Columbus, Ohio by Heather
Comment: Maybe we should make all the animals
in the zoo robots too. How about pet
robots, seeing-eye robots, or even K-
9 robots. Yea, let's make all animals
Prince's and Princess'. Please tell me
this is not for real!!! from Columbus, OH by Christine
Comment: Groundhog's Day has been a tradition for many yrs. I do not see how phil is mistreated in any way!!
He probably is treated better than any animal around, because of his popularity. PETA needs to move on and find something else to complain about! from Plain City, OH by Lisa
Comment: PETA has again gone tooo far!!! They are ruining the PR of their organization from being so over the top. from Bexley, Ohio by Allen
Comment: It is just this thing that causes PETA to lose their respectability with the public eye. As an animal rights activist, this is just embarassing from Lancaster, OH, Ohio by Andrea
Comment: Punxsutawney Phil is like a celebrity. He has been doing a good job at telling us if there will be any more snow. If they get a robot groundhog, it will break down, because it is electronic. from , Ohio by Shane
Comment: Phil looked pretty relaxed to me. PETA is only looking for publicity. I wonder how many of them (PETA) treat their pets as well as Phil is treated? from West Jefferson, Ohio by Randy
Comment: How absolutely ridiculous from , Ohio by Mary
Comment: You have to be kidding! PETA people need to get a life. Groundhogs eat our vegetable gardens and farmers get rid of as many as possible. Don't go for the robots. from Westerville, Ohio by Rama
Comment: NO from flagstaff, az by sam
Comment: Absolutely not!! That groundhog probably gets treated better and eats better than most of us humans.I think PETA needs to cool out. They are getting way out of control.I mean come on, criticizing the President for killing a fly? It was a fly not an endangered species. What's PETA going to try to do next " try for a nationwide ban on meat or make fishing illegal? Give it a rest. from Columbus, Ohio by Robert
