How would you feel if Groundhog Day was less about a groundhog seeing its shadow, and more like a gender reveal party?
Every year, PETA makes it very clear that they’re NOT a fan of an ACTUAL groundhog, “Punxsutawney Phil”, being used on Groundhog Day. And they have offered suggestions on things to do instead.
This year, they have a pretty silly idea.
They say that if the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club agrees to retire Phil, permanently, to a “reputable animal sanctuary”, they’ll provide a giant vegan “Weather Reveal” cake every year.
If the inside of the cake is blue, there will be six more weeks of winter, and if it’s pink, there will be an early spring. (???)
Of course, this has basically ZERO chance of happening.
(You can read their full, pun-filled offer at PETA.org.)
Let them eat vegan cake! 🍰
We can keep the tradition alive—without exploiting animals—with a playful take on gender reveal cakes! If the cake is blue, expect six more weeks of winter; if it’s pink, an early spring.
Show Phil a slice of decency! https://t.co/PUat0Y0sTn pic.twitter.com/X1iP88FEAi
