At least Mayor Bloomberg says he has " no hard feelings" about the biting incident.
Maybe you have sympathy for Staten Island Chuck because his living situation doesn't seem right for a groundhog. But, more importantly, his overseers are thinking about retiring him and replacing him even before his third birthday. What happens to a "retired" groundhog?
