Seriously, what is the matter with the human race? Poor defenceless hedgehog

People are scum. See it every day. Sadly People object to a cull of such types.

I will never understand what goes through someone's mind to do something like that.

Years ago a friend of my brother tried to set a rat alight and had poured lighter fluid on it first. He got his comeuppance a little though because he stood too close and the flames shot up and set his torso and arms alight. Of course like the bright spark he was he then decided to run down the road
He expected sympathy but he sure as hell didn't get it from any of us.

I'm generally opposed to capital punishment, but cruelty to animals often makes me reconsider that stance. Vile ****s.

I saw a hedgehog last night out in the rain felt sorry for him just wanted to take him home to the kids lovely little things

Well it was Bramcote...

These stories always make me think about what I'd do if I ever came across someone doing something as disgusting as this. Hopefully they'll be feeling more pain than the poor animal.

Bramcote is full of scum though.

Cruelty to animals has been shown to lead to cruelty to humans as it's a gateway :/

We need some eyebleach up in here now. I saw a cat on my walk home from work today and went to say hello!

Yep, honestly who in their right mind would behave in such a way? It should be an eye for an eye type punishment for such crimes.

Don't they eat slugs? Probably love the rain, more food!

could do with a couple round my house then. slugs everywhere, cant put chemicals down there too many cats and dogs in the street.

reminds me of something from years ago round this time of year, well bonfire night. if you build a bonfire make sure animals haven't taken shelter overnight in them before you light them.

Edit: im actually going to take a stab in the dark here. the hedgehog was found on Ewe Lamb Lane which runs along the side of what looks like allotments. is it possible someone was burning some rubbish and the animal was inside the fire before it was lit.

I had to rescue one from a drain outside my house recently.
Dont know how long he had been trapped down there but it wasnt easy pulling the wee sod out as the drain was barley bigger than the hedgy - still got him out, washed and given half a hour in a box to rest then he was on his way in the scrub eating plants and doing hedgehog stuff again.

There some sick individuals out there - probably a group of chavs goading each other on, or a lone nutter like that silly bint who put a cat in a bin...

On a lighter note - the police have released a picture of one person they'd like to speak to regarding the matter:

Kids are cruel. Always have been always will be, its part of growing up in some places.

 

[NoobCannon]

Inappropriately funny

 

[Rannoch]

Does anyone remember this mad bint?

 

[sideways14a]

That the moron that 4chan destroyed?
I would have been quite happy to turn on the news and find out she had been put in wheelybins... several of them.
