About this listen

Every Groundhog Day, crowds gather for a lighthearted tradition meant to predict the arrival of spring. But in 2014, that tradition took a shocking turn at the Staten Island Zoo. During a public ceremony, Staten Island Chuck—the city’s famous groundhog—was dropped while being handled, suffering fatal injuries. What followed was a wave of public outrage, media scrutiny, and questions about responsibility, animal welfare, and the cost of spectacle. In this episode, we examine what happened, how officials responded, and how a moment meant for celebration became known as The Staten Island Chuck Incident.
