Bizarre news...

[Bbbananas]

Reading one of our local newspapers the other day I was flummoxed, amused & horrified by the following (true) headline: "Man arrested for defaecating on dead hedgehog".

Seriously folks, this really happened in a town 15 miles from where I live. A male in his 30's called Victor. I won't say his surname in case.... He has appeared in Court and, would you believe it, pleaded not guilty !!!!!!

Begs the question - WHY????

[Bbbananas]

The charge was 'Outraging Public Decency'.

Just google Lincolnshire Free Press or Spalding Guardian....
Do you think he was drunk? Or just desperate? Good job the poor thing was already dead - it would have been a bit of shock. And those pr1cks / quills can do some damage.... could have had lethal consequences for Victor.

[carmalee]

dead hedgehog in wrong place at the wrong time? BTW Salla, your little 'rest' from AB has worked wonders - you're looking great if your avatar is anything to go by :-)

Back to your post
I am reminded of an article I saw about a man having sex with a dog. The article mentioned that it was on a national heritage site! I wondered if that was to increase the number of visitors to NH sites ;0))

Could the hedgehog have been alive before it was dropped on from a great height?

[carmalee]

Perish the thought SandyR - they are already endangered without another method of demise being made available!

[boxtops]

Aw that's awful - ric.ror, I remember that one too!

[DTCwordfan]

what's the charge?

or should I say what's the poop?

[factor-fiction]

Shame he didn't use the hedgehog to wipe himself afterwards

I'm assuming the dead hedgepig was of the road-flattened variety, not sleeping forever 'neath a hedgerow....in which case public nuisance / decency is the issue as I pay my taxes in order for hairy-backsided countryboys not to be dropping their keks on the public highway.
