    Poor Phil! So the PETA people want to take him away from his comfy home and release him in the wild so he can starve and freeze. How compassionate of them to save them from his captivity.

    Why not use a sock-puppet or a marionette?
    Would it talk like McGruff taking a bite out of crime, or would it be rather goofy like Scooby Doo?

    Ruh-Roh!

    You know I am just getting tired of being told what to and not to eat
    I mean really, just where do those
    "People Eating Tasty Animals"
    folk get off away

    I bet Groundhog probably tastes like Chicken anyway, no matter how much Hot Sauce you put on it!!!

    ..Nevermind:rolleyes:

    When Peta had pictures of a naked Alicia Silverstone, I was all for that. When they added Sasha Gray as a spokesperson, I found it hard to complain. But this is a little too much.

    What about the old days: "They used to drag the hog out of the hole and eat him." I think that quote is in the movie.

    This doesn't really surprise me. About 2 years ago, PETA tried to push their agenda on Mike VI who lives in a $3.5M habitat in the center of LSU's campus. Our previous tigers lived approximately 17 years as compared to about 10 years in the wild. Mike is taken care of by the LSU vet students and examined weekly by the head of the LSU vet school.

    We slapped them down and they crawled off. Enough said....
