Some sick bastards in the UK painted a defenseless hedgehog blue like it was some kind of joke.
They grabbed little Honey, sprayed her down with oil-based paint, glued her spines together so she couldn’t curl up or move right, and left her choking on the fumes. Found her in a Yeadon garden. Prickly Pigs Hedgehog Rescue took her in, scraped that crap off spine by spine, fought like hell to save her.
She died anyway.
Four punks got arrested. A 44-year-old, a 21-year-old, and two kids aged 17 and 15. Bailed for now, but they better feel the full weight of the law.
This ain’t “boys being boys.” This is straight-up evil.
Torturing a vulnerable animal for fun while hedgehogs are already getting wiped out by human garbage. Shows how broken some people are. No excuse, no mercy.
Hats off to Diane Cook and the Prickly Pigs team for stepping up when cowards did this. Real heroes doing 24/7 work from home to protect what matters.
Justice for Honey. Lock ’em down hard.

🦔 Update on Honey (the painted hedgehog).
We are very sorry to say that Honey died this afternoon. We don’t normally post on here about the losses within the rescue but many people have been asking about her and her story has been shared across the country. We are still working with the local police so can not share any more details about her.
To say that I’m devastated is an understatement and I just cannot believe, or understand, what some people are capable of doing to any living thing. I know from some comments that people have found what happened to her as funny or commented that she’s ’only a hedgehog’ but it does not matter if this was done to hedgehog or cat or a dog or any other animal, it just should not have happen FULL STOP. It is CRUEL and a completely UNNECESSARY death.
Prickly Pigs Hedgehog Rescue is just run from our home and, together with a fantastic group of volunteers, we are trying our hardest to help sick, injured or orphaned hedgehogs. It is an uphill battle that every wildlife rescue is the country is facing, hedgehogs are only on the Red List because of the problems that humans are causing. When are people going to stop and think about their actions and the impact they are having on nature?
Thank you to everyone that has made positive comments and are equally disgusted in what has happened. It’s times like this when I wonder what is the point of running the rescue. It’s a 24/7 job 365 days a year. On top of everything we are also currently fighting for the rescue to stay open as a couple of our neighbours are trying to get us shut down.
Apologies again for this ranting post but I just had to say it how it is sometimes.
Diane.

Terrible cruelty from a very wealthy privileged child can only blame the parents

A child picked up a stone and hit a dog with it while his parents smile and walk away
Labour promised to ban trophy hunting imports. Instead, permits are still being issued so hunters can bring home trophies from some of the world's most vulnerable and endangered species. Tell the Government to keep its promise and #BanTrophyHunting imports for good!

EVIL SCUMBAGS!! 😡
This is TERRENCE BOYD and his wife SADIE BOYD of BRIERFIELD, LANCASHIRE. They were caught on CCTV carrying a bin bag containing their elderly Dog ~ before throwing her into a canal 💔
Maddie, an elderly terrier-type dog, was dumped into the water inside the bag. The dog was pulled from the canal by Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service before being taken for emergency veterinary treatment by police. Sadly Maddie had to be put down by vets 😔
They avoided a custodial sentence after admitting a series of animal welfare offences.
Absolutely horrific, RIP Maddie 🌈 😢.

Headlines called this a ‘Tiger Attack’ but Gandhi was being hit and simply reacted to the abuse.
Tigers like Gandhi aren’t the problem; using wild animals for entertainment is.

This poor horse is going to be murdered here after a life of slavery 💔👺You can see on the signs they murder healthy and infected cows horses sheep and goats. Why the horse has to walk through the sheep/goat door is unclear ..but certain is that all the doors lead to death in this hell on earth. #CloseAllSlaughterhouses #LiveVegan stop the killings ✌️
