PETA is calling on the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club to let Punxsutawney Phil retire.
The organization has offered to send a giant gold coin to the club as a replacement because the groundhog’s weather predictions are “no more reliable than a coin toss."
PETA also wants to come up with a new name for Groundhog Day. One suggestion includes “Weather There'll Be More Winter Day."
