PETA wants to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robot for Groundhog Day

The animal rights activist group PETA is asking the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club to replace Phil with a robot for Groundhog Day.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said the flashing lights, noise and people might be stressful for Phil. The group said a robot might be more accurate.

Michigan will have Woody the Woodchuck making her prediction again this year. Woody has been more accurate than Phil.
