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.

宾夕法尼亚州民主党州长乔什·夏皮罗（Josh Shapiro）周五抨击动物权利组织的人民对动物的道德待遇（PETA），以取代土拨鼠Punxsutawney Phil，用蛋糕取代土拨鼠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.

著名的啮齿动物是在宾夕法尼亚州Punxsutawney举行的年度土拨鼠日活动的明星。关于这一事件的迷信声称，如果张舒特尼·菲尔（Punxsutawney Phil）可以预测春季的早期到来，如果他从洞穴中脱颖而出时看不到自己的阴影。

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上周发表声明，呼吁Punxsutawney土拨鼠俱乐部主席汤姆·邓克尔（Tom Dunkel）取消土拨鼠，认为他的生活是“没有小菜一碟”。

“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.”

“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 。 “如果蛋糕的内部是蓝色的，冬季还会有六个星期。如果是粉红色的话，将会有一个早春。这将使您仍然可以在展示菲尔（Phil）一片体面的同时制作旅游面团。”

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.”

佩塔继续说：“如果您不喜欢这个主意，那么锦上添花是我们还有另一个要约。” “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.

州长夏皮罗（Shapiro）通过X对提议做出了回应，对PETA挑战。

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

对挑战的反应是独立妇女论坛能源与保护总监加布里埃拉·霍夫曼（Gabriella Hoffman）。

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

她写道：“我同意夏皮罗州长在某些事情上。” “ 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年还呼吁用巨型硬币代替Phil。此外，该小组在2022年提倡将土拨鼠换成柿子种子。
