Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Friday slammed animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) over its petition to replace Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog, with a cake.

賓夕法尼亞州民主黨州長喬什·夏皮羅（Josh Shapiro）週五抨擊動物權利組織的人民對動物的道德待遇（PETA），以取代土撥鼠Punxsutawney Phil，用蛋糕取代土撥鼠Punxsutawney Phil。

The famous rodent is the star of the annual Groundhog Day event held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Superstition about the event claims Punxsutawney Phil can predict the early arrival of spring if he does not see his own shadow when emerging from his burrow.

著名的囓齒動物是在賓夕法尼亞州Punxsutawney舉行的年度土撥鼠日活動的明星。關於這一事件的迷信聲稱，如果張舒特尼·菲爾（Punxsutawney Phil）可以預測春季的早期到來，如果他從洞穴中脫穎而出時看不到自己的陰影。

PETA last week issued a statement, however, calling on Punxsutawney Groundhog Club President Tom Dunkel to do away with the groundhog, arguing his life is “no piece of cake.”

但是，PETA上週發表聲明，呼籲Punxsutawney土撥鼠俱樂部主席湯姆·鄧克爾（Tom Dunkel）取消土撥鼠，認為他的生活是“沒有小菜一碟”。

“Retire Phil to a reputable sanctuary with his family, and every year we’ll provide a giant vegan ‘Weather Reveal’ cake (it would be the first in the world this year) to share with revelers at Gobbler’s Knob,” the group wrote. “If the inside of the cake is blue, there will be six more weeks of winter. If it’s pink, there will be an early spring. This would allow you to still make tourism dough while showing Phil a slice of decency.”

“與家人退休，將菲爾退休，每年都會提供一個巨大的素食'天氣揭示'蛋糕（今年將是世界上第一個蛋糕）與Gobbler's Nob與Revelers分享。” 。 “如果蛋糕的內部是藍色的，冬季還會有六個星期。如果是粉紅色的話，將會有一個早春。這將使您仍然可以在展示菲爾（Phil）一片體面的同時製作旅遊麵團。”

The proposed "Weather Reveal" cake is a similar concept to that of gender reveal cakes, which expecting parents use to reveal the gender of their baby.

“If you don’t like this idea, the icing on the cake is that we have another offer,” PETA continued. “We’d be happy to send you a large thermometer for Gobbler’s Knob instead that reads, ‘If it’s still cold, it’s still winter,’ which would aptly represent the absurdity of the current form of this tired old spectacle.”

佩塔繼續說：“如果您不喜歡這個主意，那麼錦上添花是我們還有另一個要約。” “We'd be happy to send you a large thermometer for Gobbler's Knob instead that reads, 'If it's still cold, it's still winter,' which would aptly represent the absurdity of the current form of this tired old spectacle.”

Gov. Shapiro responded to the offer via X with a challenge to PETA.

州長夏皮羅（Shapiro）通過X對提議做出了回應，對PETA挑戰。

Reacting to the challenge was Independent Women’s Forum Center for Energy and Conservation Director Gabriella Hoffman.

對挑戰的反應是獨立婦女論壇能源與保護總監加布里埃拉·霍夫曼（Gabriella Hoffman）。

“I agree with Governor Shapiro on something,” she wrote. “PETA is terrible.”

她寫道：“我同意夏皮羅州長在某些事情上。” “ PETA可怕。”

PETA in 2024 also called to replace Phil with a giant coin. Additionally, the group in 2022 advocated to swap the groundhog for persimmon seeds.

PETA在2024年還呼籲用巨型硬幣代替Phil。此外，該小組在2022年提倡將土撥鼠換成柿子種子。
