Are there really that many hedgehogs roving around in England? I've only seen them in a pet shop here but this story fascinates me.

I see it as strange that they have to make lids to protect hedgehogs but no one says any thing about the 37823847263789562348976 cows killed. * shrugs* Maybe we should just start making McHedgeburgers

Yes there are that many hedgehogs roving around in Britain!

I think it's probably our most common form of roadkill, but that's another story. And over here, I've never seen a hedgehog in a pet shop - they are wild animals and most people do their best to keep them from harm and feed them should they happen upon one in their garden. A colleague of mine keeps finding them trapped in her plastic recylcing box and has to keep setting them free.

I see your point about the cows, but I think that's probably the same one that the hedgehog lovers are making: killing cows and clearing forests for cattle ranching is bad enough, without killing the British wildlife as well.

Took um long enough!

They changed those little spoons used to stir coffee (that made a perfect coke spoon) in a McFlurry hurry!

Seems like a sensible solution.

When I was over there, I wanted to see a hedgehog so badly. Had I known that they are McFlurry addicts, I would have hung around the McGutbomb that is 200 feet away from Mayhem's flat!!!!!
