Have You Hugged Yer Hedgehog Today

Time for a bit of gratuitous cuteness.


I don't think I needed to see this hedgehog's gentleman's area but he's still mighty cute.

Do NOT get a hedgehog as a pet.  They are NOCTURNAL (at least, mostly nocturnal).  Getting exotic pets doesn't make you cool and it will frequently make the exotic animal dead.


In some other critter news, Britain has called off the badger cull in Gloucestershire as officials say the shooters weren't killing enough badgers.  Although the cancellation is generally good news, it could also mean they will come back with machine guns so they can kill more of them.  (BBC:  Gloucestershire badger cull ends as targets missed)



I don't care about law and order.  I just want to kill some damn badgers.


The U.K. has a big problem to solve as America has had maybe half a dozen cases of Mad Cow Disease whereas the U.K. has had about one hundred and eighty thousand.  It's known that the disease is spread by feeding animal tissue to other animals, particularly cows and sheep, so it's not clear how badgers got blamed but they don't seem a serious consideration in control of the problem.  (WIKI:  Bovine spongiform encephalopathy)

Yah, and while you're stopping the badger culls, how about keeping the campaign alive and stopping those chickenshit fox hunts too.  That's one of the few human activities more cowardly than what Melissa Bachmann does when she shoots the tame lions.  (Yes, they are tame.  The lions are raised by businessmen specifically so rich bitch 'hunters' can come to Africa and shoot them.  These are NOT wild lions.  They have no fear of humans so any fool can walk up to one and shoot it.)
