Helping Hedgehogs

HOOLIGANS RUN OVER AND KILL FIVE HEDGEHOGS

This article appeared in my local paper (Evening Advertiser) on Wednesday, August 8 2001.

Five hedgehogs have been deliberately run over and killed in yet another act of vandalism in Highworth.
The dead animals were found on a path near the Highworth Community Golf Course on Saturday morning, and police believe that local youths are responsible.
Sergeant Chris Chivers, of Highworth Police station, said: “We were informed of the incident on Monday, and investigations are underway.
“Local youths often meet down there, and they sometimes have a car or motorbike with them.
“It is very possible that they deliberately squashed and killed the hedgehogs on Friday night.”
