At killing another groundhog
After the disastrous Groundhog Day ceremony last year when New York Mayor Bill de Blasio dropped and killed the animal, Staten Island Zoo officials say they will not ask the mayor to handle this year’s groundhog.
According to reports, the groundhog that De Blasio dropped died of the internal injuries that resulted from the fall, but zoo officials tried to avoid telling the Mayor’s office about the death.
This year, zoo officials are trying to head off the whole mess by keeping Mayor de Blasio away from the next groundhog.
For his part, De Blasio joked and laughed about the groundhog’s death and said he approved of the changes in procedure for the next ceremony.
