1/3/2003: Hedgehog threatened



This dude is endangered. Not because his population is small, but because it's large.

The Hebrides Islands are planning to systematically kill thousands of the animals, because they believe that the hogs are eating too many of the eggs of some of the birds they like.



The killing is to be done by a group called "Scottish Natural Heritage", and it'll happen in the spring. Apparently all the beasts are in hibernation right now. Unaware of the terror that awaits them when they wake up: death by lethal injection.
