Hedgehog PR Machine

It wouldn't be proper if the winter season didn't bring with it a minor hedgehog crisis.  | didn't really follow the logic when I heard it tonight on the radio, but a warmer winter/summer means the juvenile hedgehogs (yes, just to tug the heartstrings a little more, we're talking about the babies) might struggle to survive during the forthcoming winter hibernation.  I'm convinced that there's a real heavyweight PR guru behind the hedgehog population.  They get so many column inches every year - and they always find a slightly different 'angle' to keep their plight fresh.  Anyway - normal rules apply - give lots of cash, time, attention this xmas to help the spikey little blighters.  Posted by Jonathan Rigby

With the warmer weather, it seems that the randy buggers are staying out later doing crack and getting preggers.

If this increase in juvenile hedgehogs is allowed to continue, I predict a national crimewave by mid December.

There was an article in the Yorkshire Post only last week, saying that hedgehogs have been banned hanging out in groups at the White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds.
I'm surprised the Daily Mail haven't made more of it. How long before the first HASBO is given?

It's only a matter of days before we take the law into our own hands and repeat what happened at North Uist.
